WHO WE ARE

Félix López joined in 2007 as a new partner.
We are a multidisciplinary team that provides comprehensive,
customised services in the areas of architecture, restoration, urban
spaces, and interior design. Our team is made up of 15
professionals, supported by architectural students and a stable
network of external collaborators who specialise in different
disciplines such as the calculation of structures and installations,
sustainability and energy efficiency, heritage and restoration,
landscaping and urban design.

We like to create architecture which is based on the user’s needs,
because people are at the heart of our projects. We think that
equilibrium between form, function, and technology is the
cornerstone of good architecture. The practice of architecture gives
rise to a poetic discourse based on the never-ending search for
what is possible. For this reason we are interested in ideas whose
emotional and logical intensity helps us to capture sensations and
stimuli, rather than whimsical and fantastical architectural visions.
HOW WE WORK
At onl we believe that architecture is a collective, multidisciplinary work, where the
experience and knowledge of the whole team should be combined to meet our
clients requirements. We are committed to architectural quality, which is obtained
by close attention to all details of the design process and building quality, reducing
the environmental impact and emissions of buildings, and promoting technological
innovation, effective process management, and cost control.
To achieve this goal we have our own team of architects and external
collaborators:

has enabled us to optimise the quality of the services provided, and increase client satisfaction.

The project has a big restoration work composed by three
different parts: the roofs and the clock tower, the façades
and the interiors.
The roofs of the Administration Pavilion originally had a
wide variety of decorative ceramic elements, and several
skylights that filled the building with light. The clock tower
was also ornately decorated and is a signature landmark
of the historical site.
The main objective is recovering the original image of the
building, for this reason the east wing only needed a small
amount of restoration work, while the west wing was
completely renovated in order to recover the original
symmetry and decoration.
The clock tower posed various structural challenges which
have been overcome, while elements which had
deteriorated or disappeared have been restored after an
exhaustive analysis of old photos, and the original plans
and diagrams.
The restoration work of the brick façades has therefore
focused on cleaning and restoring the elements that have
survived, respecting the patina of age that has built up, or
recreating the elements that have disappeared remaining
as faithful as possible to their original design.
Moreover, the carpentry of all the openings has been
restored or replaced, and the thermal capacity of the
building has been improved with a minimum of restoration
work by replacing the glass. The original interplay of solid
and void has been recovered, as has the original
symmetry.

. The school is made up of three units of varying heights, which face north-south and run parallel to
the street where the entrance to the school is located. The nursery and primary school are therefore
separate units, which are interconnected through the passages leading to the services areas, which
are the communal areas. Thanks to this design the building is extremely compact. The main unit has
several patios in the centre, that form green spaces which energise the environment. The opening up
of the interior of the building improves illumination and cross-ventilation in the ground floor rooms.
The severe outlines of the façades are counterbalanced by incorporating the stairs and lifts as
external elements.
In contrast to other designs, we decided to use an industrialised building system for this nursery and
primary school from the outset. This type of prefabricated dry construction is carried out in the
workshop-factory under conditions that optimise the execution time, quality controls, and the work
conditions. After the building has been completed in the workshop – including all the finishes from the
ground up – it is dismantled and the modules are separated so they can be transported to the site
where they are assembled and ready for use.
