CENTRO CANALEJAS
Madrid
Centro Canalejas Madrid is one of the most transcendental urban interventions in Europe in recent decades. The project includes a luxury hotel, a shopping arcade, 22 luxury homes and 400 parking spaces.
Project detail
It encompasses the restoration of seven historic buildings. The objective of the project was to create a complex with different uses: a luxury hotel operated by the Four Seasons chain with 200 rooms, an exclusive retail area of 15,000 m2, 22 luxury homes and a parking garage for 400 spaces.
The geometry that served as the basis for the overall development of the project is a classical, radial geometry with an axis of symmetry in the bisector that shapes the building on Alcalá 14 and that extends to the rest of the buildings. A large inner courtyard provides ventilation and natural lighting to all floors, and a smaller one illuminates certain areas of the hotel, such as the spa.
Three new floors, set back in part of the building, replace the existing penthouses in the different buildings with new facades that respect the individual architectural
composition of each of the buildings, in order to maintain the identity of each one of them, minimize the visual impact of the intervention and preserve the original urban scale.
