A Single-Family Home in La Moraleja
The project is conceived as an integral implementation between the landscape of the plot and the building, adhering to a specific program defined by the homeowners.
Views, slope, and access converge on the plot, which is accessed from the north and opens its views towards the midday sun, favored by a continuous slope in a one-hectare oak forest.
The project's genesis, adapting to the topography, the forest, and the program, is developed in an organic plan yet perfectly fitted into an orthogonal grid modulated in a 1-meter by 1-meter mesh. This mesh is reflected in the pavements, facades, ceilings, terraces, pool, and transition platforms with the pre-existing oak grove.
Spatially, the spaces flow seamlessly into one another, yet differentiate themselves through patios, different levels, and orthogonal planes in a free plan scheme. The design of the house is highly cohesive in terms of architectural language and textures: board-formed concrete with interlocking wood in walls and ceilings, bush-hammered white stone, glass, and wood form the architecture, ensuring a plastic and formal continuity between the interior and exterior of the house.
Bio The architecture firm was founded in Madrid in 1983. It is currently directed by Alejandro Bueso-Inchausti, Pablo Rein and Edgar Bueso-Inchausti. The three partners work together with a multidisciplinary team of different nationalities and their activity is focused on the field of architecture and urbanism, specializing in residential and tertiary typologies. Their buildings can be found in Spain, US, Mexico and Romania.
We want our buildings to communicate the harmony provided by beauty, through the way we use light and shape according to the function they serve.
