Alberto Campo Baeza

House in Puerta de Hierro, Madrid

A clear division is established in this house between the parents’ and children’s areas, placed in two blocks around a shared courtyard. In both zones, the bedrooms are upstairs, more independent and closed, while downstairs the living areas are more transparent, open to the shared courtyard. The entire lower part is thus perceived as a single space of great transparency, defined by the exterior walls and including the swimming pool, in an interesting play of continuous covered and uncovered spaces.
