Project
AP164.S1.2002.D11
Description:
The project series documents the public commission for a project of the hotel, clubhouse and golf course ''El Toyo'', in Almería, Spain. The promoter was Alboran Golf U.T.E. The firm identified this project as number 155. The hotel has 90 double rooms including 3 suites, storage room, and a technical space underground. The roof was designed as an ecological green space, including a running path and the club house was arranged as a pavillion. "Making use of the differences in height created by the terraces proposed for the hotels Gran Terrace with the swimming pool, the Club-House will appear as a fold in the terrain, practically a topographic accident since it will be constructed by inclined concrete slabs which generate the interior space. The roof is accessible turning itself into a viewing platform for the whole complex, a strategy which gives the club a strong landscaping character.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with José Maria Ezquiaga, Ángel Jaramillo Esteban, Elena Jaramillo Sánchez, Ángel Jaramillo Sánchez, Ramón Espinosa Garcia-Bermúdez, Leopoldo Espinosa Herraiz and OMA, Agustí Obiol y Luis Moya. The team won first prize for their project. It was not built, but was approved. Documenting the project are design development, presentation and working drawings, digital and reference materials, minutes, clippings, resumes, presentation documents, and project descriptions.

AP018.S1.1972.PR03
Description:
This project series documents a study for the Ontario Housing Corporation in Ontario, Canada in 1972. The office identified the project number as 7302. This project consisted of a study into prefabricated townhouses, which were to be combined in a row to make up neighbourhoods. A construction system was devised and included all the components of a house such as floor coverings, foundation walls, furnishings, stairs and roofs. The homes ranged in size, but all were three storeys with a private garden and garage. The project is recorded through original drawings dating from around 1972, including plans, elevations, sections and perspectives.
