House in Pozuelo / Carlos de Riaño Lozano

It is a large single-family house, located in a luxury suburb. The plot of 6,600 square meters has a strategic location, in a dominant point of the suburb, with a uniform downward slope from south to north and privileged views to the east (Madrid) and to the north (Sierra de Guadarrama).

Biblioteca Angel Gonzalez / Carlos de Riaño Lozano

The library lies in a significantly rectangular plot, surrounded by apartment buildings of no architectural importance. The front façade overlooks the Paseo de Extremadura and a row of trees acts as a thin protection barrier against the incessant traffic flow.

Mercado Central De Cadiz, Rehabilitación y Ampliación / Carlos de Riaño Lozano

Daniel Sánchez — Thu, 23 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0000

It is one the first buildings built in Spain to regulate and house the sale of perishable products, until then in the hands of street vendors. It is a contemporary of the Encarnación market in Seville and the Puerto Real market, and previous to the markets that were built in Madrid, Barcelona and Santander after 1840. The building is a transition between the open square and what later would be covered market squares. With that massive inner structure that alienated the original architecture and hid its values, it was difficult to distinguish the two periods. After going up to the roof, all doubts were cleared upon seeing four splendid doors, one in each facade, imperceptible from the street level, in a building overturned to the interior.

Conde Duque / Carlos de Riaño Lozano

In 1717, Pedro de Ribera drew the first project of the Conde Duque barracks in Madrid. It had to provide answers for an ambitious program to house the more than 600 men and 400 horses of the Royal Guard. For almost three centuries the building has maintained the same structure, having overcome countless trials. The most significant ones were two fires in the second half of the 19th Century that almost required its demolition and rebuilding. The restoration was never complete.
