The house is generated from the intersection of two structural walls of exposed concrete with plank formwork. The result is a very familiar, open, welcoming house in continuous contact with nature.
The architecture studio ABATON, has been awarded in the Global Architecture & Design Award 2018 by Project CH, a detached house made with solid wood structure and located in the La Moraleja urbanization.

The structural elements are prefabricated pieces with numerical control that generate a perfect assembly and achieve a high energy efficiency of the house.
 

Description of project by ABATON

The project has as its starting point the preservation of the existing vegetation in the plot. All the elements built, including the layout of the accesses to the house, have been arranged to preserve the oaks and vegetation existing in the plot and link them to the building.

The approach from the beginning was to open the house to the south to enhance the luminosity of the spaces and at the same time enjoy the views of the vegetation itself.

The house is generated from the intersection of two structural walls of concrete with slatted formwork: one accompanies from the entrance, generating an exterior walk between said wall and a path of cypresses, and the other separates living room kitchen and also goes out to the porch Exterior. From these two walls the house is generated by the formation of different attached volumes and formalizing a very present central courtyard that allows games of succession inside and outside: porch-living-patio-dining-exterior again.

The constructive system used is based on a solid wood structure, with structural walls of 12cm thickness that achieve the versatility of not having pillars, or any other interruption in the floor and with slabs that save large lights, also with very little singing and without interfere in the architecture. They are prefabricated pieces with numerical control that generate a perfect assembly and achieve a high energy efficiency of the house. From the inside, the structural wood seen in some walls generates a cozy and human feeling.

The result is a very familiar house, open, welcoming and in continuous contact with nature, cozy spaces and with a very human scale despite being a house of 750m2

On the ground floor is the living room, dining room, office, gym, study, library, kitchen, TV room and guest bedroom.

The upper floor has two different volumes joined by a walkway on the patio: in one of them the master bedroom and in the other 3 bedrooms. On this floor, the lower living room deck is also used as an outdoor patio with a porch.

Finally: garage, room facilities and cinema room are developed in the basement.
