Description of the Concrete House by A-cero:
With the combination of design, quality and functionality arises this new A-cero´s work: a house of 1.500m2 defined by a set of clean lines and perfect volumes.
The grey colour of the concrete that make up the whole building and an architectural wide black pergola, there are the elements that, at first sight, stand out in the house exterior. Furthermore, huge windows have been included in the façade in order to enjoy of the pleasant surrounding views of the house.
The construction has two floors that have been built according to the slope of the house´s plot. The first level, where the pedestrian access is, has a area of 653m2. This floor has been distributed in three areas: a familiar area (lounge, dining room, kitchen, office, a living room for the children …); a private part where are four bedrooms, with its proper baths and dressing-rooms, and a free time and relaxation area that is opened to the exterior and the swimming pool throw a wide porch.
In the ground floor there are a gymnasium, a wine vault, cleaning rooms and the area for service and house´s facilities.In the interior spaces, everything is thought until the millimeter. Every wall, detail and corner shows the elegant and studied work that A-cero has made. The exterior is incorporated to the construction interior throw several patios that create luminous and cheerful spaces for living every day. Furthermore, the white walls and clear and comfortable decoration contrasts with the dark wood the house´s ground.
In the exterior the overflowing swimming pool of 45m2 stands out. This and porch´s ground are made of granite abujardado, a grey stone. In this exterior area you can find also a summer dining room and a relaxing area covered by a movable pergola. It is a pleasure for satisfying the comfort of the most demanding people.
As a result, we find a new residential A-cero´s work without aesthetic shrillness that invites to lived it so much, overall because its elegance, sophistication and functionality.

Lovely, elegant, thoughtful, etcetcetc, blahblahblah. Can you cover someone other than A-cero once in a while? Contemporist feels like an extension of their website at this point.

Beautiful Work! The only thing I am having trouble with is the built-in patio furniture – a little too prision-chic for me!

Fantastic!!!. Also this house demonstrates that A-cero inside his way of doing architecture, they play with different materials, which gives to this studio more merit and versatility.

Does this firm design a house per week or what??
Lance on 06 May 2010 at 2:17 pm #
Yeah, they do seem to do a lot of “bunker chic” these days don’t they.

But it’s not a home. It’s a spacial work of art.
Lance on 06 May 2010 at 5:23 pm #
But is that such a bad thing?

Wow! That’s one heck of a big house.
And I agree with lance – this is like one big spatial work of art. But it is done so well.
Finshes, materials, details – all beautiful.

While A-cero houses are fun to look at, the question I keep asking myself is, if you had all the money in the world as it seems their clients do, why would you choose A-cero as your architects? There is just nothing special to point to in any of their designs except maybe the all black modular one they had on here. I could think of a dozen architects I would choose before going with A-cero.

Marshen, whatever you want… But who says to you that A-cero would like to design your house?
