Beauty, strength and usefulness are the keys to the strong housing that we present you throughout the week. A construction of pharaonic dimensions (2.900m2) emerging as a large sculpture in the exclusive area of Madrid “The Lakes of La Finca.”

Continuing the sculptural architecture of A-zero, this time the work of Richard Serra has been the main reference and inspiration to design this residence located in the largest parcel of residential (13. 357m2 of surface area).

The outer walls define the overall picture of housing. The purity of form construction creates a coherent whole with a structure made only by concrete walls where the intermediate pillars disappear and fine materials such as travertine marble, are imposed.

In accordance with the wishes of customer privacy, the house has closed to the outside (the path) through a series of concentric curved walls of natural stone at the same time, generating large spaces and open to the inside of building.

The building comprises three levels: basement, ground floor and first level. The interior layout was organized looking for maximum functionality and comfort of the owners, so that the master bedroom and all rooms used by the owners are located at the level of access.

Attached to the main residence is located a house for the service (on the left side of the picture). This second part is integrated into the volume with surround curved walls that mark the outdoor unit of the project and defining the open space inside.

Finally, include the natural environment of the property: a landscape with lawns and lush pine tree mass, strawberry trees and beds of rosemary and lavender blend with the smooth and spectacular forms of housing.

Manama continues with this project to show you the detailed construction of the building and pictures of the house during construction.

Inside rooms are located as follows: entrance hall, lounge, dining room, kitchen, office, pantry, a guest cloakroom, and seven bedrooms (with their own bathrooms, two dressing rooms and a terrace.

In the rear, through large windows, is living that opens onto the garden, swimming pool and the natural landscape that urbanization offers.

It‘s surrounded by an attractive landscape interventions carried composed lakes, birds and a very large tree.
