Mirador Housing – Madrid, Spain
• Mirador housing in Madrid’s Sanchinarro quarter is more than just a block of flats.
• It’s closer to a vertical collection of mini neighborhoods.
• Dutch architectural firm MVRDV created slits between the blocks in the construction imagined as upright alleyways, and the large open space near the top has been dubbed the “sky plaza.”
