welcome mr. bond












The architecture studio A-cero have designed a big single-family house in the outskirts of Madrid. The massive plot measures 5,000 m/sq with 1600 m/sq built surface. The Architects have produced a house that seems to be hidden between concrete walls and vegetable ramps that extend up to the roof. The concrete is dyed in a dark gray colour and in-between them vegetation areas that seem to climb towards the sky. The house's façade show a spectacular organic view of the whole house. Both front and back of the house is totally opened towards the garden. The plot also includes a elegant garden, a small lake and a paddle track. All it needs now is a villian and its ready for the set of James Bond.

weighlessness




Joaquín Torres & Rafael Llamazares of The Architecture Studio A-cero have designed housing in the outskirts of Madrid. Designed entirely of sculptural inspiration, blocks of marble travertine in curved shapes and edges emphasize the weightlessness to the building. The main entrance is made of dark granite that contrasts with the facade while large windows facilitate lighting into the house. The 1.000 sqm space plays a dialogue with between the natural environment and design.
