'El viento' residence came to be as the result of spanish architect otto medem's explosive connection to the site upon its discovery. its location on an escarpment in the mountainous villalba area with unabated views of madrid's mountain range, medem's practice, otto medem arquitectura,used the site's natural contours and spectacular sight lines to dictate the arquitectonic qualities of the house as a sequence of discoveries as one moves from room to room. an embracing entrance into the site with concealing white walls dulls the senses before enjoying the fragments of views offered from the interior through the various lenses that frame different parts of the landscape. formally speaking, the dwelling consists of shards of planes that seem to erroneously stretch across the site dynamically colliding into one another resulting in playful nooks and overhangs giving depth to the light and shadows that hide around every corner. the protruding geometries are in reality strategically placed and sized for light or views that become part of the quotidian events of life.
The entrance foyer is like a pivot that expresses an unexpected vertical space and provides a clear set of options for circulating through the radiating wings of the house. organized around three levels, the upper floor contains the master bedroom and bathroom, the main level on grade houses the kitchen, living room, garage, and smaller bedrooms, and the most social area partially embedded into the site offers access to a living area, sauna,steam room, indoor spa and exterior swimming pool. an imposing boulder found intruding in the middle of the plot was not removed and instead made into a uniting element around which leisure activities are organized, making its presence in the inside as much as the outside and acts as a sort of base around which the dwelling develops. originally designed as a direct result of the site, the post-construction project embraces and enhances the experience of the surrounding natural elements. |
