Working among the fields of architecture, landscaping, interior and product design, we develop from our offices in Madrid and Delft spaces that combine sensitivities, appreciating the vernacular and everyday, as much as the audacious and innovative. Different scales of design, convivial, committed and cheerful, providing new and intense user experiences.

 

Enrique Krahe (Madrid, 1970) was trained as an architect in the ETSA Madrid, as well as the IU Venezia and EA Paris Val de Marne. Since 2000 runs Enrique Krahe Arquitectos in Madrid (ES), and since 2008 also in Delft (NL), carrying out a great variety of projects both on its own and in temporary association.
He has also developed a research and theoretical career, started as staff of the magazine AV and followed as co-editor of the magazine Oeste of contemporary culture. He has taught Architectural Design at different Universities as regular staff or through workshops as invited lecturer: UCJC Madrid [ES], Iberoamericana de Puebla [MX], IUC Barcelona [ES], SA Merida [ES], NTNU Trondheim [NO].

E8-Extrahood

Aldea Moret, Cáceres, ES2005

EXTRAHOOD takes advantage of the existing site’s synergies by improving their connectivity and stigmatized image, by means of:

  1. Landscape Infiltrations: The landscape profits the penetration of new high-speed train line to infiltrate into the city.
  2. Program Infiltrations: The ‘imported’ meadow is now recolonised by permanent and intermittent programs that rectify its intermediate configuration creating an interlaced space, and making possible new social dynamics.
  3. Urban Awareness Densification: Growing dynamics will finish filling soon the soil’s capability. Industrial facilities will find new locations and the ‘activityscape’ will be definitively refined. Consolidated urban tissues must strengthen.
  4. Technology Seeding: Spontaneous and ephemeral use for punctual facilities. Creation of dynamic urban scenarios.
    Free access through pre-payment or deposit loan.
  5. New Dwelling Recipies: There are not aprioristic housing schemes, just different kinds of structures to be occupied with different degrees of freedom.
