The reform of this house has allowed connecting the exterior spaces with the interiors to let natural light be the protagonist of the house.
“I want a lighthouse”, was the main maxim of the owner of this house promoted by Gestilar. Natural light is one of the keys to this house: it floods the interiors, opens the spaces and allows the interior to dialogue with the exterior, to create connected and perfectly integrated environments; It is like entering a high-tech and sustainable glass house, where the sky merges with the landscape. This is what the Cano y Escario architect studio planned together with Iconno, in charge of interior design and furniture.
All the spaces are open to each other. The interior has different terraces that create a landscape of materials thanks to the integration of the vegetation with the Cosentino marble flooring and Rehau technological wood. There is no lack of water elements, such as the Jacuzzi or the swimming pool, which can be accessed from different environments, both indoors and outdoors; spaces that have been designed in collaboration with the landscapers of Estudio Liquidambar and Simes exterior lighting.
The mixture of materials, natural wood, marble and glass, plays with space and light, seeking a balance of colors and textures. The search for a lived and weathered wood has led to choosing a natural oak that represents all the elegance of this material. The double-height space of the living room is organized by the modular pieces of the sofa and by the personalized configuration of the (LED light spheres, suspended at different heights and anchored to the ceiling by means of a floating tubular structure), which adapts perfectly to the space.
The Center of the House
The load-bearing element is the staircase since it distributes and rearranges the interior and exterior spaces. In addition to generating spaces, the staircase is the energy load of the house. During the colder months, it accumulates heat with its black gravel and its double-height oak wood wall, while in the summer months, its trays of aquatic plants cool the house with the sunset. As well as a union, the staircase is also a dividing point between the day and night areas. Staircases are very much used in the homes of New Metro city.
Diffuse lighting is reflected in the furniture and panels, which completely dress these spaces. The different panels open and close, creating environments and revealing great flexibility of uses, playing with the precious fabrics and the harmonic shapes of the Groundpiece bed.
From the glass dressing room, we access the main bathroom. The classic marbles used in the different shades of gray give it the charm of precious fabric, but at the same time, its overhead light helps to reflect the rough texture used that imitates hand-cut wood, a play of light and shadow that creates an amazing effect. The volcanic stone flooring helps in this contrast. From a sliding door integrated into the oak paneling of the stairs, there is access to the kitchen area, perfectly finished off with the stools. The flooring almost merges with the furniture, with 1 x 3 m ceramic pieces.
Outer Space
The interior kitchen seeks the same dialogue with the exterior in blued steel. It is aligned with the interior and opens onto the terrace, creating an environment that is used all year round, thanks to a pergola that can be completely hermetic. The personal gym has gym equipment, a sauna and Turkish bath and outdoor furniture installed in a glass box that opens completely through large openings towards an infinity pool, which ends up uniting water and sky.

Corner dedicated to relaxation in the lounge

In it you can read, rest, watch television, but also work on a computer or even have dinner.
