The architecture studio MOCA estudio has designed PER House, a home located in the city of Madrid, the capital of Spain.
The house is part of a line of projects that focus on exploring the sequentiality of spaces in architecture. In this case, the spaces revolve around a patio with a fig tree.

MOCA estudio has divided the spaces of the home into lintel spaces, such as the living room, kitchen, and bedroom, and the connector spaces, the hallway, the dressing room, and the reading room.
The first spaces appear dilated, composed of a structure of porches and load-bearing walls, while the second spaces appear compact, with cement finishes and with elements that compositionally organize the home.
These contrasts also focus on color, highlighting in red the lattices that allow you to look towards the patio with the fig tree and different corners to stop.

Project description by MOCA estudio
PER House is a continuation of a line of projects focused on exploring the sequentiality of spaces in architecture through contrasting orders and qualities. In this case this relationship and succession revolves around a courtyard with a fig tree as the main element.
Catalog of spaces
The types of spaces are freely combined to alter the sequences. In this project we find:
Lintel-spaces (living room, kitchen, bedroom): expanded, in which the line marked by the carpentries and changes in height of false ceiling bare the entire structure of the building, composed of a complex structure of porches and load-bearing walls.

Connecting spaces (lobby, dressing room, reading corner): compact, designed with cementitious finishes on the floor, walls and ceiling, in green tones. They contain intensifying elements that organize the house in a compositional and functional way.
Matrix of objects
The objects, with a distinctive presence, stand out for their materiality and emphatic geometry. They articulate and qualify the spaces in which they are inserted.
The comparison focuses on color: red, with a wide range of materialities that underline steps that break the strict rules of the game, places to rest and lattices that allow to observe the outside.

MOCA estudio is an Architecture and Design firm founded by architects Carlos Moles Romero and Adrián Sánchez Castellano. Both are architects who graduated from the Higher Technical School of Architecture. They currently operate from Madrid, developing their architectural activity in mostly housing and hospitality projects.
An important part of MOCA estudio's work encompasses the investigation of new practical formulas to design spaces, situations, and objects, focusing on its interest in the value and control of incoherence, contradictions, exceptions to the rule, order, and contrasts. The scale of the works covered by the study proposes a systematic approach from the scale of the building to the design of pieces of furniture with a unitary approach.
Their work has been widely published by prestigious media such as Metalocus, ArquitecturaViva, Tectónica, DiarioDesign or ON Diseño, among others, in addition to having participated in exhibitions organized by COAM and Residencias Matadero, among others.
