Everything is though for them, every space and detail. During the home design and construction process all decisions always started from listening to the needs of those who would be the inhabitants of the house, in order to be able to give the closest possible response to their tastes, budget, way of life, aspirations...
That is why Tornado is actually like a suit, a true "taylor-made house".

Project • By Simpleyfácil • Shops
Ford Country Motors
This project juxtaposes two totally different design concepts that are integrated into an ambitious unfinished project that will culminate in the erection of an apartment tower within an investment plan established by the property's owners.
The original façade follows the architectural guidelines established by Ford for its dealerships throughout Mexico based on the installation of a composite aluminum panel in a natural or silver finish that Simpleyfácil installed with Alucoflex brand inputs.
Rosendo De la Torre
Combination of shapes and textures
In contrast, we find a very original façade in its design that repeats a pattern made up of flat and projected shapes that intersperse gray with silver tones.

House in Huerta de Rey by Mecanismo uses simple materials to address its modest village surroundings

Madrid’s SMG Church by Ramon Fernandez-Alonso combines varying urban contexts
In San Sebastian de los Reyes, Madrid, this compact building for hybrid use of the SMG Church responds to two very different realities and contexts. The first context is that of the valley, where the church generates a volume in response to neighbouring commercial facilities, along with large commercial and leisure containers. The second context is the urban fabric of the surrounding residential city to which the church exposes its program of classrooms and houses. The exterior maintains a rhythm and proportion of openings that resemble the buildings that it faces.

The designed space consists of an office building with social facilities, a warehouse and the land around the buildings including a driveway, parking area and decorative greenery.

ARCHITECTURAL COMPOSITION
Although the office building and the warehouse serve different functions, they needed to be connected to each other (due to the company’s activity). Therefore, we have merged the structures of both buildings and created a coherent and functional system of independent elements – one cuboidal block that includes different types of spaces.
