The house is situated on a quiet plot within the orderly urban development of Santo Domingo in Madrid where a compact existing housing occupying the center of the plot was the starting point, and that for economy is decided to use the existing basement which was decisive for the location of the new house.
The new proposal, more extended than the compact original dwelling, clearly organizes the parcek into two areas: the first and most representative, geared towards access, and the second, more private and fragmented volumetry, endowed with activities such as swimming pool, tennis games, trampoline, outdoor dining, garden, etc.. We could talk about two sides of the same house
We wanted to retain the idea of the irish cottage seeking to relate the proposal with the country of origin of our clients. In these constructions, these stepped roof offer shelter and become the protagonists of the architecture. The arrangement of the openings in the volume under the roof masks the two floors above ground, as if it were a single floor, seeking a reduction of scale in the perception of the home.

The entire program of the house, except the master bedroom and garage, are situated on the ground floor, directly related with the parcel. The master bedroom occupies the first floor completely under cover, sheltering in every way the rest of the home.
We hope that over time that the copper roof with its variety of reds, further strengthens the affective bond with the cottages above.
