Delacampa studio and Pulso studio took over the refurbishment of a house in Retiro, Madrid. The project reinterprets domestic architecture to create flexible, open-plan living spaces that integrate work, relaxation, and play, featuring natural materials and a central library overlooking a green courtyard, resulting in a contemporary home that serves as a tranquil retreat from urban life.
Reinterpreting domestic architecture to highlight the value of new contemporary lifestyles and the conciliation between work spaces and liquid, multi-purpose domestic spaces that serve as reading or play areas, meeting or rest areas, taking into account their virtues and their conditioning factors.
In this project the intervention seeks to flee from a rigid distribution and generates multiple open-plan spaces that are transformed and combined with each other, integrating natural oak wood finishes and neutral materials such as polished concrete and exposed structure, with the spearhead being the polyvalent library space with views of a green courtyard in the city block with a south orientation and direct natural lighting.
The more private spaces are distributed around the perimeter with respect to the interior courtyard and the party wall and the daytime spaces are focused on the views of the exterior and the flow of circulation from the entrance.
The project develops its own very personal language with noble and raw materials, wood finishes, concrete and continuous floors, achieving an atmosphere of creativity, peace and serenity, with custom-made furniture and carpentry very present in all the rooms accompanied by carefully selected designer furniture.
The end result is a unique, contemporary, elegant home with a marked character of a quiet refuge in the face of a frenetic and vibrant city.
