The Vivienda 19 House by A-cero
Spanish architects A-cero have sent us their latest completed project, a house in the “La Finca” development in Pozuelo de Alarcon (Madrid).
.
Description from A-cero:
The structure of this new house is made of clear volumes, straight lines and simples shapes. The house’s front is made of marble travertino and there are many windows in it. Both elements give a lot of lightness to the house.
It has a 1.600 m2 surface and three floors (basement, ground and high floor). The structure adapts itself to the slope ( 4000 m2) where the house is. The garage and service spaces are in the basement, while the most public spaces (lounge, dining room, living room …) are in the first floor. Bedrooms and more private rooms are in the high floor. A-cero has designed also a 80 m2 spectacular and geometric swimming pool. It harmonizes with the clean architecture of this A-cero project.

Yet another out-of-the-park design by A-cero. If I was seeking out design firms to design a new home, they would unquestionably be in my top 3 internationally. The only problem for the other two, is I would likely forego them and get on a direct flight to Spain.

I am a bit tired of these firms that they try to sell projects with poor sustainable architecture.
These kind of projects only reinforce the lack of existing values in todays society!
I noticed many spaces have as an ALTAR TV screens!!!

ArekJNP More people are tired of sanctimonious politically-correct drones like you. Try and appreciate creativity and art – instead of making tired, rehashed attacks on society and TV. You’ll appreciate it when you reach your twenties.

A-Cero is incredibly prolific. This site should be renamed “A-Cerotemporist”. I want just one…just one of their clients. C’mon A-Cero, throw me a bone will ya!

Beautiful geometry. Stairs are fabulous, and the pool is really fun too. Landscaping really punctuates the architecture well. Great job!

Nice house with a few misteps in term of aesthetic.It would have been if the interior design was more “warm” thus emphasizing the straight lines and clean shapes.

so this is how the other half (or other top .1%) lives
I would do it if I could

Todd, is it so wrong to want society to embrace sustainability? Can art not be sustainable? Is it not possible to design a beautiful home without causing massive damage to the environment?
On behalf of those of us under the age of twenty, I apologize for wanting to clean up the disaster of a planet your generation has created for us; for the irreversible damages resulting from your generations ignorance and greed. I’m sure those living in the Maldives truly appreciate your efforts. As an art lover, you comments are truly revolting

second…..and i’m 37. there is no reason to attack someone for their age or their views on art….we all have our opinions.
i checked out the a-cero web-site, and don’t find their designs to be very innovative. this house in particular is a waste….of both resources and space. it seems to me that this firm is simply catering to clients with an abundance of money who want a home to show off their wealth, who make donations to the arts for tax write offs.
the size of several of the homes is astounding……isn’t that american idea of ‘bigger is better’ of a generation past?
the only thing i would want to do with this place would be to throw a huge party!!

Yep, there won’t be much marble left by the time A-cero gets done. Or granite either once everybody in America remodels their outdated kitchens.
I love the minimalist aesthetic none the less. Something rarely seen in the United States anymore.

Looking at the empty space which sits between the floors, and also the level of the roof that is considerably under the rim of the wall, it looks as some extra exterior wall space has been created with the sole purpose of cladding tons of marble. ‘Less is more’ doesn’t apply to this house I am afraid.

This building is gorgeous. Congratulations! And its interior is just great! Could I possibly see some pics from the kitchen of the house? Would you be so kind to send photos or links by e-mail, if possible?
