AD – Casa L, Brazilian Accent

In 2017, AD magazine ran a feature titled «Acento brasileño» on L House, a 1960s home on the outskirts of Madrid for which ÁBATON took on the architecture, the interior design and the construction.

The studio looked to Brazilian architecture to transform a compact rationalist villa: it cut openings through which the garden reaches into the house, turned the staircase into part of the outdoors and ran a porch that lets the kitchen step out into the green. Concrete, flat roofs and few partition walls for a house that seems to have always been there.
