OAK GROVE HOUSE
Cercedilla (Madrid), Spain
Project in execution
September, 2022
Single-family home with a rustic-contemporary character. A dominant volume in the surroundings
The house is located in a residential area of the mountains of Madrid, in an environment where vegetation takes on great importance due to its lushness.
A house that is located in the only clearing within a plot invaded by a large number of oaks and cork oaks. A bucolic environment that allows the house to focus on being a landmark within the landscape, capable of capturing its beauty and introducing it into its interior. Respecting the nature that surrounds it is not only a starting point, but is another reason to open the house with large windows to the outside, allowing the light filtered by the vegetation to create shadow plays inside.
A house that respects the lines of traditional architecture, but incorporating the aesthetics and volumetric plays that allow a more contemporary reading.
