Centro Cultural Comares
Centro Cultural Comares

The balance of light, the garden, the landscape become concepts that converge, that achieve the perfect harmony of space, the precise configuration where to confirm the places.

Collecting the sifted light from the garden, wrapping the architecture with it, promote that calm atmosphere where life lulls in new rhythms, which like brushstrokes emerge from every corner of the building, looking for a quiet place, but full of a thousand shades. A place that embraces an austere but sculptural courtyard, so that the protagonism is of the works of art, and that turns to a natural environment, which becomes a background picture, animated, a mixture of life and smells that sneaks between the works of art, converted into sketches of our life.

Centro Cultural Comares

Preserve the essential, the authentic, assuming the possible intervention in a building of contextual value, which is recycled from a noble home, in a cultural center. The spaces are reversed in their light and their visions, it is a cultural center for the citizen, in a physical enclave rich in urban history and modernized with various cultural facilities interspersed with domestic uses.

The central space is a cube, an old courtyard, which gathers the light from the large balcony that, located on the north side, introduces the garden with the grandiose fountain, magnified by the artists Santiago Rusiñol and Joaquín Sorolla in their canvases, and as a background the Mauror neighborhood and its small architecture that reminds us of the “cubisms” of Manuel Ángeles Ortiz. The double-height space frames the vision in its full measure of the romantic garden, balancing the light in the interior.

From the garden there is access to two rooms under the roof, like an architecture added or superimposed on the building, ventilated and illuminated by the patio and an “aerial street”, which introduces the panoramic view of the Mauror hill, presided over by Torres Bermejas and the Rodriguez Acosta Foundation.  The world of the roofs of the city is interpreted as a territory independent of urban life, very suggestive and essentially linked to the beautiful panoramic views of our city.
