Moderna Museet Stockholm, Sweden The program for the museum buildings is complex, including lobbies, gallery spaces, classrooms, two auditoriums, a cinema, a restaurant, a café, a bookshop, two libraries, conservators’ studios, photographers’ studios, offices, woodshops, loading and packaging areas and archives. In order to render the insertion of such a large institution in the delicate historic “campus-like” setting, the mass of the building was subjected to three motives: attenuation, fragmentation, and submersion. The result is a building that fits into its surroundings with sensitivity.

The issues surrounding the lighting for the art were of special interest. The development of the passive lighting design involved the coordination of the interests of curators, conservators, security personnel, structural engineers, and lighting consultants. Issues of snow and ice were also carefully studied.

On this buiding Moneo Brock Studio worked as Project architects for this design of Rafael Moneo.

Hudson Street Loft New York, United States This project offered us the opportunity to concentrate on the arrangement of richly textured elements in the context of a largely proportioned and generally sparely articulated space.

The raw space of the loft presented two principal spatial problems. First, the relationship of daylight to the plan is highly biased: the windows are exclusively on the east wall. This unilateral supply of daylight forced us to place all the major living spaces along the window Wall, potentially robbing the western areas of the plan of valued light.

The second challenge was addressed by placing a foil immediately in front of the entry door, thereby creating slightly labyrinthine entry sequence.

Finally, color and materials were selected to conserve the clean, unclutteres effect produced by the planimetric and sectional design and favored by the clients.

Thermal Baths “Termas de Tiberio�

Panticosa, Huesca, Spain The Baths at Panticosa are located in the dramatic Valle del Tema of Aragon, Spain, where mountains peaks near the project site hold snow throughout the year. Waterfalls, rivers and streams cut the Surface of the mountais and the valleys, while underground the aquifer mixes with termal springs from Deep beneath the Surface of the earth.

The design concept of this luxury spa and hotel sought a balanced response to the natural setting on one hand and to the urbanized context on the other.

Tribeca Loft New York, United States A special penthouse, the raw space was dark, dirty, full of pipes, and with a relatively low ceiling throughout. Its great potential was in it location on the top floor, and we found therein an opportunity to modulate light and views within an impressive and open heavytimber structure.

The existing yelow pine and oak structure was wherever possible lifet freestanding in order that its strenght and texture could be appreciated. The design guides movement under beams and around columns and up towards the vertical spaces of the skylights, weaving through the structure and touching the exterior enclosure.

Architecture Country House Madrid, Spain For this site facing the monastery of El Escorial we designed a compact family house, respectful of its wooded surroundings.

The plan is built on a nine-square grid, with a glazed interior courtyard about which the house’s interior circulation rotates. The lower floor is stepped, following the natural grade of the terrain. As a result, each space has an easy and direct relationship with the surrounding exterior ground, and the terraces, which are to the north and south, are natural extensions of the house towards the garden.

From both inside and out, the roof plane is perceived as a continuous, modulated surface whose inclination follows that of the land. Upon this plane a rotated square is inscribed, forming the lines about which the roof folds. The resultant prismatic form is compact from the outside, yet spacious and diaphanous from within, with interior views which pass through the transparent courtyard.

The cantilever embodies the idea of the house: that while it is well nested in the landscape it is also oriented towards the monastery.

Bosque de Acero Cuenca, Spain This enclosed pavilion and surrounding park is situated on a 35-acre site bordered by the JĂşcar and Moscas Rivers and the historic Spanish city of Cuenca.

This project of contemporary architecture and planning rehabilitated the abandoned natural landscape with the construction of performance spaces, a skating rink and restaurant in a cluster of historic buildings and a grand pavilion to be used for events and exhibitions, and during the city’s weekly markets and annual fair.

The pavilion, the primary architectural gesture of the project, is placed across the street from the historic city and is meant to act as a filter between the city and the park, diffusing the urban periphery into the natural landscape and acting as a theater for the activities of the park. Composed of 23 pentagonal modules that together form a structural network, this steel and glass pavilion addresses the relationship between the natural beauty of the landscape and the adjacent urban fabric.

El Viso Row House Madrid, Espaùa The intervention adapts a row house in Madrid, Spain, designed in the 30’s to the needs of a contemporary family, while preserving its original rationalist elements.

Our proposal for the ground floor was to open up the space as much as possible, taking out the partitions that divided the dining room from the living room and leaving exposed a riveted steel column next to the stairs. The stair wall was given a rounded shape, inspired by the existing windows jambs, while the living room’s dropped ceiling is cut by big arcs, covering a beam and creating cove lights.

In order to make the house more energy efficient, the steel sash windows, identical to those used at the Bauhaus, were restored and adjusted to admit thermal glass where they were designed to take simple panes.

Café Reina Zaragozaa, Spain Connected to the foyer of an elegant luxury hotel, the Café de la Reina or "BUR-BU-JA” adds a colourful and casual note to the complex. A cafetería during the day, the space transformns into a sophisticated cocktail bar at night, the patrons immersed in iridescent aquatic colors.

A long curved Green bar runs through the space, while “seaweed” camouflages the curtain wall and the mundane view of the city beyond, dissolving into small fragments of an organic, aquatic world. Smoothly curved walls with reflecting belt, circular benches and round tables créate a sensual atmosphere where space and movement interact.

Mercer Hotel Barcelona, Spain Situated in a series of old medieval buildings in the Gothic neighborhood of Barcelona, one of it's most historic districts, the Hotel Mercer elegantly blends the old with the New..The hotel is structured around the original courtyard, which has been preserved as a garden of citrus trees. Most of the rooms have balconies towards either the courtyard or the street, so natural light abounds.

The interior design is modern and fresh, but at the same time subdued and respectful of its setting. On every occasion we took the building's historical elements and idiosyncrasies, its corbels and its arches, as hidden treasures providing design opportunities. As a result, every room is unique, as the design overlay lets the special spatial qualities of the older construction.

Fundación Telefónica Madrid, Spain.

This museum project for Fundación Telefónica, the cultural institution of Spain’s largest telephone company, occupies four floors in the historic Telefónica Building at the top of Madrid’s most central street, the Gran Via. To address the difficult relationships between the reclaimed spaces of the old building, we designed a central, cohesive circulation path that connects all galleries and cultural spaces on the upper floors to one another and to the street. Parts of five of the existing floor plates were demolished and a spiral staircase inserted in the void, weaving through an organic, sculptural form which serves simultaneously as a lateral brace for the building’s façade and.

The spaces, left bare, reveal the beauty of the existing structure and allow for the maximum freedom for exhibitspecific installations.

Parish Church “El Señor de la Misericordia” Monterrey, Mexico.

The volumetric concept of the church derives from traditional church plans, and the design presents recognizable architectural features taken from early Christian temple prototypes, such as the bell tower, the stained-glass windows, the frontal altar, the baptistery, the choir, the three chapels and the lateral courtyard.

The church’s main entry opens right onto a plaza, which functions as an annex to the church. Above the entry canopy, the façade is a large flat wall, an emphatic and square plane, declarative of the otherness of the space within: the sacred space of the church interior.

The interior design, also designed by Moneo Brock, is fully integrated with the architecture.

Tiajin Arts College Master Plan Tianjin, China.

Our approach to the complex challenge of designing the expansion of the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts relies both on our knowledge and experience of campus architecture as well as a detailed analysis of contemporary and historical Tianjin.

Tianjin’s campus presents a particular challenge because it belongs both to the heart of the old city as well as to the rapidly evolving contemporary one and must balance the scale of the historical urban fabric with that of today’s modern city.

Our solution proposes a campus fabric of streets and squares at an intimate scale with an easy transition between this urban network and that of passageways and corridors that permeate the neighborhood of classroom and studio spaces.

On this project Moneo Brock Studio collaborated with Rafael Moneo.

TEC 205 House Monterrey, Mexico.

The House design preserves four large extant trees on the site. Now embedded in the House. Major interior spaces enjoy direct connections to their own corresponding outdoor spaces, each associated with a different landscape.

In order to gather these outdoor spaces into the project, a series of large wall planes that intersect in the House’s center project into the surrounding outdoor space, moving continuously between the interior and the exterior.

We have always admired the use of color in Mexico, from its vernacular architecture to that of the masters Luis Barragán and Ricardo Legorreta. We have applied strong colors to these walls not only because we often use color in our work, as recognition and homage to this great heritage as well.

El Rosario University Laboratories Building Bogota, Colombia.

Quinta Mutis Campus, is one of the three campuses or El Rosario University in Bogota. The institution is one of the most prestigious universities in South america, and with this project it intends to be regarded as the top center for teaching and research in the natural sciences in Colombia.

The project building is located on the Southwest corner of the campus, and adds classrooms, laboratories and common. The building will replace some temporary structures built years ago.

The taller volume of laboratories has given the shape of a mineral outerapply that responds to the city-scape of Bogota, whilie the lower volume is adapted to the surrounding buildings. Both shapes share common spaces, emphasizing communication and allowing the practical use of the building. A large terrace on top of the lower volume opens cafeterĂ­as to panoramic views of the city.
