The rear extension pitched and flat roof design sympathises with the existing gable ended roof. This playful roof is related with the facade ins and outs and internal space use. The big glazing openings follow the roof shape and introduce plenty of un light to the interior spaces. Additionally, the introduction of green roof gives a natural character that strengh the relation with the generous garden of the property.

The proposal, besides energetically rehabilitate the building, try to reuse as many materials as posible from the facade and communication elements previous building demolition. The existing facade do not reach energetic efficiency actual standards, but, because their material and constructive nature they are durable, they can perform other functions in the new building.

STALL FOR G’VINE. ARCOmadrid 2016. _Izaskun Chinchilla Architects Architectural Assistant. _LOCATION| Ifema, Madrid, Spain. _USE OF THE BUILDING| Stall. _DESIGN PERIOD| February 2016.
_SURFACE| 31 sqm. _CLIENTS| G’Vine. _MAIN MATERIALS| Recycled balcony, wood and laminated metal. _ROLE| design team member, fabricaton management, protyping.
G’vine stand for ARCOmadrid 2016 offers visitors the classic art challenge of many times: try to distinguish reality from fiction and the material and the physic from day dreams and desires. Visitors get into the stand persuaded, by distant appearances, by the interior of a cozy urban apartment. But when they are inside, it is difficult to distinguish if they are inside an apartment or watching others privacy from outside through a window. As for the balcony, they are not sure if it allows warm air flows from the inside to the city or is that what makes the curtains blow from the outside bringing fresh air from branches, filling in the interior with botanic essences. The same effect the bar creates, visitors can not ensure whether they are watching, a small greenhouse just behind the bar, or they inside the greenhouse.

COWORKING UTOPICUS. CONDE DE CASAL. _Izaskun Chinchilla Architects Architectural Assistant. _LOCATION| Conde de Casal, Madrid, Spain. _USE OF THE BUILDING| Coworking space. _DESIGN PERIOD| May 2016.
_SURFACE| 850 sqm. _CLIENTS| UTOPIC_us. _MAIN MATERIALS| IKEA FURNITUTRE, hammoks, pilates balls, ladders. _ROLE| design team member, 3d modeling, rendering.
Behind the design, there is always a lot of research, testing and advice. Breaking routine and introducing breaks during the working time help keeping you focus, retain information and make unpredictable connections and evaluate the goals. The design try to stimulate this routine breaking in the working spots and combines three ways of sitting: an ergonomic chair, a Pilates ball and a swing. The combination of postures and different muscular efforts will allow your body to feel different. Coworkers can then be strategic on how they associate each routine with the tal ball or the swing creating good working habits and the great feeling of taking care of themselves. Additionally mosquitos nets and Japanese cloth boards will allow coworkers to deal with intimacy.

_SURFACE| 93 sqm. _CLIENTS| FIGMENT - ENYA - SEAoNY. _PRIZE| Winner of the 2015 City of Dreams Pavilion Competition. _ROLE| design team member, 3d modeling, prototyping.
As the mophead flowers natural domes structures, our pavilion can grow up and down to adapt context and time circumstances . It adapts to uncertain budgets, social changing requirements and ecological dynamics. The philosophy of an organic growth: keeping ideas flexible so that can be adapted to real necessities, becomes crucial. Learning from nature helps taking care of human wellbeing naturally, beautifully and intuitively. CRADLE TO CRADLE LOGIC.

CYCLE TO SCHOOL - UCL PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT FELLOWSHIP. _AUTHOR| Izaksun Chinchilla Public Engagement Fellow. _LOCATION| Sommers Town, London. _USE OF THE BUILDING| Research. _DESGIN PERIOD| 2014-2015.
_COLABORATION WITH| UCL Public Encagement Unit, The Bartlett School of Architecture, Camden Council, Space Syntax Laboratory. _DESIGN ELEMENTS| Cycling routes, way-finding signals and gateways. _ROLE| Research Assistant.
The research aims to empower the urban and domestic legacy of the 2000-2010 generation. We are a team developing a combined activity as designers, researchers, space syntax team and public engagement fellows. We develop together these fields because we think that’s the best way to improve the city, create social opportunities and to increase the quality of our designs. Key aims of this Cycle to School Partnership are to encourage the community to discover their borough´s unique and often unrecognised heritage features and to discover the spatial and multicultural richness of their borough. As part of the reseatch we propose a number of routes that will feature a series of WAY-FINDING SIGNALS and GATEWAYS that will allow children to navigate the city with more independence.

THE WINDOW TO ARZAK UNIVERSE. _Izaskun Chinchilla Architects Architectural Assistant. _LOCATION| Hay Festival, Segovia, Madrid. _USE OF THE BUILDING| Stall. _DESIGN PERIOD| April 2016.
_SURFACE| 2 sqm. _COLABORATION WITH| Juan Mari and Elena Arzak. _MAIN MATERIALS| Recycled wood. _ROLE| design team and construction member, 3d modeling, rendering.
It is a collaboration between Juan Mari Arzak and Elena, and the designers Izaskun Chinchilla Architects. The aim is that the designer turn into an object the inspirator tangible dream. The designed object proposes a window for each of the two main characters in Arzak space: the chef and the commensal. The chef finds in the window all needed. The window shutters hold spoons, strainers and sieves, among others objects. Commensal, meanwhile, has its own window. In the shutters they find instruments that users can explore freely. The countertop can turn into a table and that invites commensal to test the food and in this case, the playful arms provide napkins and pepper to the commensals.

PRIORITISING PUBLIC SPACE- Creating a social hub is the main objective of this design. Open outdoor spaces have been proved to be more important than buildings to make people gather. For this reason, the proposal place special emphasis in creating outdoor squares, paths and courts. The importance of public space is emphasised by the presence of a main square with water games in the centre of the block. It has a recognizable shape, a strong character, a clear and attractive program and great connectivity with public transport, bike paths and existing streets. The square is also connected with Dalseong Sport Complex Park acting as an outdoor lobby for both facilities. The importance of this network is not only related to the building scale but to a wider urban scale. REASSEMBLING LOCAL LANDSCAPE- Most of the images and old etchings describing Dalseong feature a valley, surrounded by mountains and inhabited by small houses that reflect a good balance between natural and human activity. An intervention like this is not only the opportunity to create a building, but also the opportunity to regenerate part of richness of lost landscapes. In the logic of Wendel Berry’s essay ‘Solving for Pattern’, we have to think our site is not an isolated fragment but a key piece of a tessellated environment.

REFURBISHMENT OF GARCIMUÑOZ CASTLE. _Izaskun Chinchilla Architects Architectural Assistant. _LOCATION| Cuenca, Spain. _USE OF THE BUILDING| Refurbishment including Public Media Library (Outdoor cinema, bookstore, cafeteria, Visual Library and Music Library).
_SURFACE| 2,078 sqm. _DESIGN PERIOD| 2002-2003- CONSTRUCTION PERIOD| 2010-2016. _PRIZE| Winner of Refurbishment of Garcimuñoz Castle Competition. _ROLE| Construction details correction.
The aim of the design is the rehabilitation of the Castle of Garcimuñoz in the province of Cuenca and the introduction of new uses to ensure both, preservation and social utility. Different historical, social and cultural circumstances have made the Castle of Garcimuñoz a space formed by a multitude of incomplete fragments. The proposal works as an orthographic system: the new architectural pieces are so small and light as dots and commas of a text. Placement helps to understand the intricate historical legacy. Different strategies and materials allow groups to, perceptually, separate elements from different eras, contributing to the clarity of the historical dates. Almost all the elements included in the project can be carried by two people and all of them can be dismantled. This is a completely reversible project. From the point of view tectonics, the intervention was more like a furniture attached to the property than new construction. This allows not only a future incorporation of other uses, but also future upgrades of equipment, with significant presence of digital-use and transfer of obsolete items to other locations.

ARTISTS COMMUNITY. _Final project. San Pablo CEU University. Madrid. _LOCATION| Xixi Wetlands, Hagzhou, China. _USE OF THE BUILDING| Residential, working spaces and exhibitions areas.
_SURFACE| 20,000 sqm. _PRIZES| Winner of IBERFLORA FINAL PROJECT COMPETITION. Category C : Equipment for Landscape Architecture. _MAIN MATERIALS| Bamboo, Wood and glass.
This project streess a deep research in architecture in natural environments and its caducity. In ancient China philosophy, the artist, also known as wise, is the one capable of transmitting the nature changing state through art. Based on this idea, project proposes an architecture in complete harmony with nature. The architecture is developed as a construction system that varies depending on established laws regarding the environment. It results in a rich and complex architecture with a high level of adaptability. The main materials used are wood and bamboo. They are renewable, recyclable and biodegradable materials. Both the structural design and the construction are designed for the architecture to be reused, when the water level reach the plot, all cabin will be dismantled and donated to local communities with different necesities. The facilities of each cabin are independet and are designed to minimize consumption of both energy and water, they have photovoltaic panels and water collector incorporated, being, in this way self-sufficient.
