la moraleja house
location
The story of this house begins sketched on a beautiful place. An extensive plot of oak trees with a smooth and undulating topography, stands as the starting point of the project. The proposal is based precisely on these two key elements: the beauty of nature and the understanding of that topography.
project
On the one hand, we are seeking a house whose interior space is projected outwards, appropriating it so that architecture and nature can merge in a magical way.
On the other hand, the design of the house understands and respects the existing topography, leading to a series of level interplays through platforms, half floors and paths that embellish the proposal, generating a multitude of situations that make living here a unique experience for its inhabitants.
At the highest level of the plot there is an access to a garden from which emerges a sinuous exterior path that leads to the plaza, which acts as an anteroom to the house.
The entrance plaza provides a ceremonial reception to the house, enhancing its beauty and offering the possibility of contemplating it from a certain distance.
The proposal considers the natural topography of the terrain, integrating itself smoothly into it and occupying it in a respectful manner. As a result, the following objectives are achieved:
1. The visual impact of the house is minimized from the access area, where only one level is perceived, favoring a better integration with the landscape.
2. The disposition of the program in only two main levels makes the house more comfortable, facilitating the circulations and improving the spatial relations.
3. This strategy enables the parking area and the indoor pool to have a semi-buried character, with views, lighting and natural ventilation.
4. The house accompanies the descent of the topography, adapting to its shape.
