The customers, a group of young entrepreneurs who wanted to build the Madridheadquarters of a global network The Hub . Timeshare offices for socialentrepreneurs, which conduct the most varied projects that seek to “change theworld.”

When we saw the garage, we got a strong impression; it was intact, untouchedsince the 40′s, this space was a bubble in the most silted area of Madrid-Centre.

We wanted to implement energy-saving criteria, economic sustainability andrecycling processes that we believe pose the challenge of the times we live in,explore a new way to refurbish the buildings of the twentieth .

We considered whether we would be able to not alter or obscure the layers oflife in this space, virtually no even to design …

… What happens if we isolate only the cover, add a floor heating system underlarge planks of wood, warm in winter and cool in summer, if we don’t paint thewalls, lined only with recycled wool felt in meeting rooms , to letting their patinaexpression, their old labels, the defects ..

…. What happens if I buy almost introduce anything new, if we call on thepeople of the Hub to donate their used furniture, if we add other furnitureretirees to give them another chance ….anyway we need some furniture, a kindof wildcard… so we ordered boxes, fruit boxes, which are also stools, support,form a ladder, shelves, a ticket office.

… And if we plant an orange tree in the old moat of oil change. ..

Hub Madrid currently hosts numerous events and has become a major focus ofcultural and social activity in the neighbourhood.
