Sumario:Antonio Fernández Alba represents one of the most notable figures in the Spanish architectural scene, since the late 1950s, with a career that spans both professional and pedagogical fields. He is the author of works such as the residential building in Hilarión Eslava, the Convento del Rollo, the house-studio for the Martín Chirino family, and the Carmelo de San José, the subject of this article. Finished building in 1970 for a community of Discalced Carmelites, this building represents a paradigm shift in the way of organizing life within a cloistered conventual space. The article tries to unravel the project strategies that are formalized in the final construction. From the revision of the cloister as an element that orders the conventual space to the accommodation in the place, in order to define a building where the architecture, like the order that inhabits it, fulfills precepts such as rigor, austerity and the absence of hierarchies.
