Madera: the soul of wood, nobly expressed
Madera crafts the very essence of wood through the ingenious process of precomposed veneering, resulting in surfaces of captivating visual harmony and inherent sustainability. From flawlessly coordinated color palettes to intricate inlays that whisper stories, each door stands as a genuine tribute to the natural world.
The project is the work of young practice S333, based in Amsterdam and founded by Brits Jonathan Woodruffe and Dominic Papa, along with New Zealander Chris Moller and Canadian Barton Hamfelt. It is a mixed development – residential and commercial – of 4500 square metres, developed in two parts. Schot 1 is an urban block, clad entirely in glass, which revolves around a series of communal activities. Schot 2 is less ‘open’, built in timber and at first floor has entrances directly into the apartments with private gardens on the roof.
“Schots 1&2 are clearly a new urban type”, stated the jury, “The architectural form is exemplary of layered thinking about living, intimacy, public space and landscape”.
