Golf Project
- Architecture, interior design, landscaping and construction: ÁBATON
A newly built house in Madrid with a clear objective: to maintain the original vegetation in the approach of the house and use its possibilities to frame its position, placing it in a natural environment and in direct connection with the outside.
The Golf Project owes its name to its peaceful views of a golf course. This quality, together with the pre-existence of trees on the plot prior to the work, was a starting point for the project, as well as a marked objective: to respect the vegetation in the approach to housing and use its possibilities to frame its position, placing it in a natural environment and in connection with nature, taking advantage of the views towards the golf course.
The connection with the outside world as a starting point
The house presents an architecture with rounded volumes from the outside, with a basement floor acting as a base, complemented by the contrast of two upper volumes with flat roofs. These roofs allowed the creation of an outdoor space with an elevated view over the golf course, a place for contemplation. This volumetric interplay also allowed for the creation of an upper garden terrace that integrates the vegetation into the house and invites rest.
“With a double height, the main access is presided over by the staircase, which we designed with a sculptural volumetry that adds personality and character and acts as a union of the spaces.”
The design of a family-friendly house
The main access, guided by a path bordered by vegetation, leads to the main space of the house.
The upper floor contains the private rooms. However, the distribution was designed so that the spaces would invite coexistence and family interaction, so a room was designed for social gatherings that brings together the access to the bedrooms. Among them, the master bedroom stands out for its wide views of the vegetation, a frame that captures a natural and changing image. The first floor is dedicated to common spaces such as the kitchen and living room. In the basement, leisure activities are concentrated, bringing together game areas, cinema and billiards. These spaces connect with outdoor areas such as an English courtyard and the swimming pool, always in contact with the outdoor environment.
“The relationship of the spaces forms fluid and orderly rooms that encourage comfort, gathering and family conviviality.”
Indoor-outdoor linkage
The south-facing approach allowed for the opening of large windows that achieve the desired visual permeability. The depth of vision and the relationship of the interior spaces with the exterior were achieved through porches, terraces and interior courtyards, intimately linking the interiors with the natural environment outside at all times.
Interior design and landscaping ÁBATON
The interior design and landscaping works close this new construction project in Madrid with coherence. The use of noble materials and wood details for the interior and a careful choice of landscaping in New Perennial style cohesive interior and exterior spaces, giving prominence to the naturalism of the plot and the sensations it arouses.
