The Posadas Business Initiative Center by Francisco J. López and Gudula Rudolf has been solved in a simple way with the use of only three materials that are concrete, wood and glass. The building opens to an inner courtyard with a gardened meadow and a longitudinal patio that allows ventilation, lighting and circulation.
Description of the project by Francisco J. López and Gudula Rudolf
In the middle of the local urban center, fited between different facades, stands a natural trenzadade fence which reaches the roof of the neighboring building - the old Manuel Siurot School - which, after sliding gently on the pavement, unfolds to the walker of The street Miguel Hernández a semi-covered urban courtyard inspired in the bowers -shades and vine arbors - of the region.
As a backdrop to this great "open-air hall" (a solemn expression of a public interior) stands the elevation of a new equipment for training purposes and promotion of the business activities of the region that, perpendicularly arranged to the access road, extends until reaching the bottom of the plot that partially occupies the residential waste of the old school.
It is a compact concrete construction of two floors height, an unique cradle and constant section that allows the interior connection with the adjacent building and opens - by the south - to a great inner courtyard, where a garden meadow and a vertical bower which is similar to the one in the facade, tempering the chaotic image of walls and facades that envelop it, at the same time as a new urban public space block, the lung of the whole set.
At the same time, it serves as a counterpoint to a second longitudinal patio adjacent to the northern boundary wall that is visually connected to the previous patio through the main room of the ground floor, enabling cross ventilation and alternative routes, allowing the privacy of the upper floor and empowering the sifted illumination of their rooms.
Internally, the functionality of the construction is simple, with a reduced and transformable program solved with only three materials (concrete, glass and wood), whose nakedness and daring translate the strong external indoor expression.
