House in Pozuelo de Alarcón by A-cero Architects
The house is hided behind a harmonious sculptural set of curved walls made of stone dark granite and marble travertino that seem to emerge from a big water plate arranged in the house entry.
In addition to the beauty of this structure, it offers a high grade of privacy and tact between the exterior (street) and the house. Other more, this structure goes to the back part, as a front, where is a natural, clear and kind scenery.
This block disposition and the house plot (a descending slope towards a lake) are used to distribute the house in two plants: a high floor, with exterior access, and a low floor. Both of them are looking to a wide terrace with a pergola and to the garden house.
In the high plant, we find a very wide and luminous hall provided with natural light for top skylights, and with two plates of waters dominated by two bronze lions. In addition it is used to lead to the kitchen, wine vault, dining room, lounge, office – library, and to the most private area: the principal bedroom, dressing-room, bath, interior swimming pool and small gymnasium. Also we find the stairs that descend to the low floor where there are a games lounge and a movies room, kids and guests bedrooms and the service area with two bedrooms in suite and with a wide area for the housework. All the house rooms are provided with wide large windows in a dark safety glass. These windows (that also works as doors) and a lot of house elements are completely computerized and motorized: lighting, safety, blinds, air conditioning … everything is centralized.
The high floor communicates with a terrace. In the lounge the access to outside is made by a long large window that provides a continuity sensation from the interior space to outside.
This terrace is covered by a pergola made of an aluminium structure that supports the sculptural premeditation of the building. In one of the side parts of the garden, there is a relaxation area with a pond of Buddhist inspiration.

Love the curves. And the floating desk… Very nice. But the pattern on the wood is spectacular, it looks almost like damask.

I am intrigued by the finishes of the original piece of furniture in the kitchen area(23). They appear to be a lush burr veneer?.The worktop/storage part of this item beautifully morphs into the dining table.Other ‘architectural furniture’ around this scheme are equally as creative like the cantilevered desk (26).

That cantilevered desk is simply amazing.

These guys never cease to amaze me! Where do they keep finding these clients? The detailing is impeccable. I wish there would be a couple of shots showing the house in a larger site context; because the landscaping appears to be as equally impressive.

So much angul…

Too hospital-ish. But it looks a lot like the Getty.

Just spectacular! It´s a work of art

Sorry guys, I think it’s just a waste of money. It’s lifeless, a bad mix of materials and the interior..!! Come on!? Another showcase of how a lot of money can’t buy you taste.

A-cero seems to have knack for adding imposing extensions or overhangs to the upper level. I don’t understand why they have to be so massive nor see the beauty of it.
