Located on a rocky slope in the western outskirts of Madrid, this 2,691-square-foot concrete, glass, and steel house turns its back to the surroundings and interacts instead with the distant Pardo forest and Madrid’s skyline.
Design concept and solution:
The house denies the surroundings and the abrupt topography of the site by delicately leaning on the rocks with a large horizontal plane that defines the footprint of the building. Organized into two independent parts with multiple layers, the house’s lowest level contains service and utility areas as well as parking. The main entrance to the upper volume is up an almost hidden staircase situated around a giant rock.
