Ultimate Garages. Hemeroscopium House: Prefab Gone Mad. What can one say about Hemeroscopium House in Madrid, by Antón García- Abril?

Hemeroscopium House: Prefab Gone Mad

It was built in just seven days, out of seven massive structural elements. And yes, that thing cantilevering out the front on top is a swimming pool. I suppose one can say that it proves that prefabrication can be used for good or evil ends. A Hemeroscopium is evidently greek for the place where the sun sets, so they probably don't worry about unprotected floor to ceiling glass in Madrid. But it is crazy wonderful engineering; that pile of rock on top of the beam acts as a counterbalance to the cantilever of the beam. On the whole, I would rather be in Petz's Pad. Amazing to watch the construction. Living the simple life in a beautiful french villa. Luxury Furniture, Property, Travel & Interior Design.

The place would lodge an artist’s painting atelier and was under redecoration for over 10 years by the architect himself. The present project came to life due to several problems found in the building such as electricity mains and rewiring, wall cracks and seepage. Within a month, all wall coatings were removed and rebuilt whilst the architect decided to build a brick table and couch. “As a furniture designer, I decided to follow an opposite thread to what I usually do and create something permanent, stable”, says the architect.

Not only is the table used to hold books and collections but it is also a place to work and eat at, while the couch stands from wall to wall and has two black fabric mattresses.
