In this project located in Madrid, the Madrid studio DL+A Arquitectos, tries to design and build 4 dwellings simultaneously, incorporating the logical demands of each individual plot. The final solution adapts to the topography and each house enjoys its sunny garden, avoiding to look indiscreetly at the one located next to north.
The project is located on a plot of irregular shape, with 8 meters of unevenness and located over-raised up to 5 meters above Guisando Street.

The dimensions of origin and reference of the four gardens are staggered, creating different surfaces, which close to the outside and to the north with a ceramic shell, and open to the glazed heart of the garden through glass panels protected from the sun in a controlled manner. DL+A Arquitectos seeks to convert the specific conditions of the location of each home into virtue, using common architectural solutions, reinforced ceramic façades infect the inclined roofs of the same material.
The gardening becomes an element of vital importance to avoid the visual impact of the wall of the Embassy, becoming unexpected gardens at the level of bedrooms. They create blind facades to the north prepared to be covered by climbers and some evergreen trees are placed to the north to hide views from windows that would appear to the neighbor.

Description of project by DL+A Arquitectos
Located in an irregular shaped plot with a slope of 8 meters, the four luxury houses in Guisando Street, Madrid, were an exceptional opportunity to design by playing with the differences in height.
We started imagining the future. Thinking about the resolution of the requests of each plot, that sometimes contradict each other. The final solutions are arranged to the tophography and each house enjoy its sunny garden, avoiding looking at the following house.
The houses close to the street and contiguos houses with ceramic façades, and open themselves to the stepped gardens by glazed surfaces, protected from the sun by broad-leaved trees and pergolas. Adjustable blinds filter sunlight in each villa.
In each house we tried to turn into opportunities the main conditions with common architectural solutions. Ceramic façades are built importing other constructive systems and pass on the inclined roofs, allowing to solve the project practically with the same detail of roof/ façades.
Gardening becomes an essential element in this combination of shells and allow to open or close to certain sights. Mountains become unexpected gardens at bedrooms heights. Blind north façades ready to be covered by climbing plants. Evergreen trees that hide strategic views to the neighbours. All of this constitute the matter of the Project.
Sometimes we thougt we were designing a house for an ideal garden, more than the opposite.
