From M&E Clara Murado y Juan Elvira
Built in a long and narrow plot in a quiet residential area in Madrid, this house accommodates the floor plan requirements inside a volume only 4 meters wide, resulting in a thin and compact prism.
On each level small outdoor spaces are inserted, allowing for a rich spatial experience while
keeping the necessary privacy in a dense residential neighborhood. This sequence
encompasses a courtyard on the basement level, a garden with a swimming pool on the
ground floor and a double-height terrace on the first floor to expand and complement the tight
interior of the house. Thus, the usual sequence of stacked levels is challenged and turned
into a dynamic vertical landscape.
