On the outskirts of Madrid, Ensamble Studio built Fábrica—not just a building, but a space where architecture is imagined, tested, and made. Designed as their own prototyping lab, the 1,150 m² structure merges office, workshop, and experimentation space under one dramatic, industrial roof.
Inside, a grid of steel and concrete porticoes frames the vast hangar, where raw materials meet cutting-edge robotics and digital fabrication. Here, the studio develops new methods of building—modular, transportable, and efficient—bridging the gap between concept and construction.
The structure itself is a statement: exposed, tectonic, and expressive, with diagonal steel lines weaving a sculptural skin around its volume.
