In the quiet interior of Castile, an architectural piece emerges—not one that imposes itself, but one that gently settles. More than a conventional winery, it is conceived as a place for the research and recovery of ancestral grape varieties.

The project features diagonal views toward a lake belonging to the La Moraleja golf course in Madrid. Given that the size of this location allowed for it, a home was proposed that develops primarily on a single floor. The daytime area is organized into two volumes of different heights that shift in relation to each other.

This school seamlessly integrates into a ravine surrounded by a Mediterranean pine forest, using nature as its primary classroom. Built with exposed clay and timber, it reveals its structure as part of the learning experience, free from cladding or superfluous details. A green roof regulates temperature and blends the building into its surroundings...

Rather than delicately resting into the landscape, pretending that it could be easily dismantled in the future, House X embraces its invasive, almost parasitic nature. It fully integrates into the environment, aiming, through its abstract design and materiality, to become an inseparable part of the landscape.

Two oak trees, a sheet of water and the horizon are the pre-existing elements in this plot, which influence the position and formal configuration of the house. The presence of this vegetation in the foreground, and the Pedrezuela Reservoir in the background, forces the house's floor plan to adjust its geometry to these elements.
