DRINKING WATER TREATMENT STATION IN ALMOGUERA – ALGODOR. COLMENAR DE OREJA

Colmenar de Oreja, Madrid

2006

Built

Fernando Antolín

The architectural proposal for the integration is adapted to the ground´s topography and offers a positive environmental response, since the visual impact is in harmony with the environment.

The language used for the definition of the volumes is based on a range of gradient colors  of sands and reddish land tones accordingto the surrounding landscape, so each building has a different color.

This  color gradient wants to represent symbolically, how the water  changes as it follows the journey of regeneration, from the outlet of the water tothe final treated water. Proposed architecture is of simple cubic shaped buildings, forming abstract drawings.

betwen the buildings have been created open spaces to let the complex breathe.
