Valdemaqueda, at the boundary of the Community of Madrid in the province of Avila, is set among pines, South oriented and protected by a hillside of high ecological value. The road to the reservoir Robledo Hoyo de Pinares through this town of scattered houses, small-scale and in the Plaza, now almost a widening of this road, stands the new City Hall that saves a height of two meters on the meadow which it sits.
The construction of this small public building, regardless of the scale of the action, is cause for reflection on their ability to order the immediate environment without distorting the existing scale. Thus the aim of the proposal is the configuration and management of the Plaza to where the Town Hall presents its most representative and facade of the new building integration between small and dispersed volumes of the municipality. The complete building the south side of the Square and attentive to their scale, breaks to suit the implied concavity of existing buildings and two acacias while slightly delayed for greater separation of the traffic lane.
The Town Hall is broken into two volumes together at the Plaza for a glass lobby and zinc pitched roof light, which gives access to both. The formal austerity of both volumes is inserted into the tiny scale of the urban, one containing the plenary hall and the other body-oriented offices south to the unchanging landscape view of pine trees behind the road, where spread over three floors the administrative program.
A staircase with lateral eye light travels vertically through the three levels of the administrative area in front of a picture window overlooking the square. In this inner space from which dominates the view of the square from the background opens the mayor's office.
The elements of the reinforced concrete structure view, bearing walls and structural lattice screens and tiles, exterior enclosures configured with intent to integrate the building in the chromatic scale of the place and ensure the soundness of the materials in time stability. On the south side of the building the concrete structure complements with Bernardo's slate plates and aluminum steel gray. The orange blinds that filter the sun gives warmth to the gray cladding. In the north facade, of only one plant and plant height and average, close to the town's inhabitants, the carpentry of the gateway and the plenary hall is solved with iroko wood. The clock on a smooth cutting concrete wall and masts institutional reminiscent of the small building.
