Palacios in Madrid

            Palacios en Madrid
La Casa Palazuelo, ubicado entre las calles Mayor 4 y Arenal en Madrid. Fue proyectado por el arquitecto Antonio Palacios en 1919.
El proyecto tuvo como intención no destacar ante los nuevos edificios de la Puerta de Sol tras su ensanche y la construcción de sus hoteles periféricos. Para ello, Palacios se inspiró en la arquitectura comercial que se realizaba en Estados Unidos por aquellas fechas.

El inmueble se levanta en un solar con fachada a la calle Mayor al sur, y a la calle de Arenal, al norte. Este hecho provocó que Palacios diseñara dos fachadas diferentes, dándole más importancia a la de la calle Mayor. En ellas utiliza un orden monumental de diseño clásico en el que se alternan grandes franjas acristaladas que recorren verticalmente la superficie, en ellas se echan en falta algunos elementos hoy desaparecidos como las esculturas femeninas que enmarcan los vanos abiertos en los torreones que coronan los extremos de la fachada a la calle Mayor. Esta severidad contrasta con el diseño llevado a cabo en el interior. Presenta una planta cuadrangular de lados desiguales, en el eje se sitúa la escalera de doble tiro y un patio central en tomo al que se distribuyen las cuatro alturas. 

Palacios in Madrid
The Casa Palazuelo, located between Mayor 4 and Arenal streets in Madrid. It was designed by the architect Antonio Palacios in 1919.
The intention of the project was not to stand out against the new buildings of Puerta del Sol after its expansion and the construction of its outlying hotels. For this, Palacios was inspired by the commercial architecture that was carried out in the United States at that time.

The building stands on a plot facing Calle Mayor to the south and Calle de Arenal to the north. This fact caused Palacios to design two different façades, giving more importance to the one on Calle Mayor. In them, it uses a monumental order of classic design in which large glazed strips alternate vertically along the surface, in them some elements that have disappeared today are missing, such as the female sculptures that frame the open openings in the towers that crown the ends of the facade to the main street. This severity contrasts with the design carried out inside. It has a quadrangular plan with unequal sides, on the axis there is a double-firing staircase and a central courtyard around which the four heights are distributed.
