The 400.0 m² house, set up in two pavilions and built by Malu de Miguel in Boadilla del Monte, municipality of the Community of Madrid in Spain, is located on a plot of just over 1000 m².
The project responds to a program that today is atypical for its almost forgotten character, a home for a family formed by three generations.

The program carried by Malu de Miguel is mostly developed on the ground floor, where shadow spaces are sought and continuity inside-outside. The spatial composition allows to create different paths when walking around the house, with endless circuits where the house is a continuous space where you can run without routes with an inevitable end.
The materials play a fundamental role in the harmonization of space thanks to its rugged and vibrant texture, due to the radicality of love to the material provided by the concrete formwork and brick face rustic view.

Description of project by Malu de Miguel
This single-family home is located in a plot of hardly over 1000 m². The program is mainly developed on the lower floor, with a double-height in the living room which articulates the small program of the upper floor. The municipal setback is given to the street forming an open space that is used as a guest´s parking while offering an expansion of the street as a public space. In urbanism where everything is fenced up and closed it is very surprising to see the generosity of offering this space. The program is atypical and, paradoxically, its novelty consists in being traditional and almost forgotten: accommodating a family formed by three generations.
Firstly the house is divided into two separate pavilions and secondly, the floorplan is not divided by main and secondary bedrooms: whichever the needs of the family, the rooms are occupied by the family´s decisions and not by the imposition of the house. The house seeks to eliminate its boundaries: Shadow space is sought, the glazings of the main patio secretly disappear in double walls wishing to be opened from April to October, the inner paths of the house never have dead-end making it ideal for playing hide and seek and running around.
Two materials harmonized through its rugged and vibrant texture:
1. Concrete texturized with OSB boards simulating a vegetative, friendly and warm appearance.
2. Rustic brickwork with mortar with the same thickness as the brick that resembles the historical brickworks where matter and not chemistry was the only construction resource.
This brickwork is used both in the inside and outside of the house, with a different pattern. Using the brickwork in the inner partitions helps show the desire of the house to be open and eliminate boundaries. Brick is used in different details from window frames, shelves, bathroom benches, etc. The intense use of the material is even achieved in the showers with a transparent primer over the brickwork.
