Alberto Alcocer House by De la Villa Studio

The property is positioned on Calle Alberto Alcocer, a large tree-lined avenue within the Chamartin district of Madrid.

The unique format resembled that of an workplace, with extreme compartmentalization leading to lack of mild and area. A darkish and damaged hall stretched alongside the central axis of the home. The primary goal of the integral reform was to unify areas in a big social space, utilizing visible dividing parts resembling recesses or cut-outs within the flooring to maximise the entry of sunshine. The problem was to design a format with nearly no corridors.

One other problem was to create a way of top within the current ceilings. We had outdated fixtures and fittings that encroached on the usable area of this house and had been built-in into the custom-made furnishings within the totally different rooms.

A nucleus of moist areas was established within the centre of the home and a succession of rooms utilizing pure stone embrasures, which convey magnificence and solidity to the development.

After crossing the doorway door, a world imaginative and prescient of the supplies that can unify the essence of the mission may be seen all through the home: pure oak wooden and Olivillo travertine stone. The wooden, handled with water-based varnish, is used within the made-to-measure joinery and within the ground in a lighter tone, laid with a free joint. The Olivillo travertine stone is used within the mouths.

The format consists of two areas: the principle hallway for the widespread areas and the second hallway giving entry to the three bedrooms and their loos, that are extra personal areas.

Within the first distributor, the magnificence of the geometric shapes takes priority, highlighting the peak of the ceiling with a curved hatch as a union between partitions which, other than softening this encounter, guides the oblique lighting in the direction of the ceiling by means of recessed wall washers. An preliminary dialogue is established between the recesses and the significance of the hierarchy of heights.

The recesses are handled with the intention of with the ability to separate rooms or maintain them unified. A few of these architectural assets home giant sliding doorways which, when open, are hid in them and, when slid open, act as enclosing panels, in order that varied routes by means of the home may be established.

The opening between the living-dining room is clad solely on the perimeters, leaving the ceiling steady, to create a way of connection between these areas. In the remainder of the openings, the complete edge is clad to mark the delimitation of the rooms.

A panelled wall, with a set of doorways, creates the doorway to the bathroom, which is hid and, when uncovered, contrasts with the remainder of the house. With a sublime and marked ash tone, the vertical partitions are wallpapered, emphasised by means of Darkish Emperor stone, in a sculptural piece as a washbasin.

The kitchen, positioned within the inside space of the house, has its personal circulation and three giant home windows bathe the island in mild, a bit that stands out for the aged travertine that runs constantly round it.

A floor-to-ceiling space for storing is constructed into the wall. This factor acts as a partition between the kitchen and the passageway to the laundry space and installations room.

The primary rooms of the home, resembling the lounge and eating room, are positioned on the south facade, with views of the road by means of a steady window that gives them with pure mild and spaciousness. Our intention has at all times been to unify these social areas by accompanying them with an enthralling terrace.

The lounge was supplied with two storage parts, on the one hand, we’ve got a low module, in the identical silk white tone because the partitions, in order that it’s visually built-in. This module hides the air-con installations of the home and, alternatively, offers a considerable amount of storage for its inhabitants. Reverse the home windows, one other module, on this case from ground to ceiling, in pure oak wooden, conceals the tv and a bar unit with a mirrored background, glass cabinets and retractable doorways.

From the lounge, we proceed to the hallway of essentially the most reserved space of the property. Right here we discover floor-to-ceiling oak woodwork that results in every of the three bedrooms.

The main bedroom can also be south going through and has a big window overlooking the road. For the wall reverse the mattress, an auxiliary piece of furnishings has been designed to cowl this space of the room. To get to the bed room, we cross by means of a big dressing room with floor-to-ceiling oak doorways, upholstered in linen.

Each loos have Alba limestone washbasins and microcement cladding with clay. In the principle lavatory, a volcanic rock tone was used for the cladding of the bathe cubicle with built-in bathtub. Within the different lavatory, a extra impartial sand tone was chosen.

In each of them, giant mirrors have been fitted to replicate the sunshine, so attribute of this house, and to present a sense of higher spaciousness.

The inside design stands out for the usage of pure supplies, attribute in all our initiatives. Stones resembling Travertine, Alba limestone or Darkish Emperor marble, handled with particulars of architectural worth, will give the house a sublime, minimalist and timeless character.
