360 HOUSE in
Galapagar, Madrid.
A unique
opportunity for us is in reality a problema that’s been posed thousands of
times: to construct a house with a public programme of social relation,
associated with the prívate life of a numerous family on a sloping plot of land
with privileged views of the mountains outside Madrid. It has no one solution,
there are many, they’re even catalogued in books about houses of a slope.
We try not
to think of domestic spaces. On the contrary, we take as a point of reference
works of engineering, motorway intersections, changes of direction. We proceed
from generic solutions to the problem of descending, solutions that conceal
great plasticity. We seek the poetic in all that seems to have been considered
from the merely pragmatic point of view.
The result
is the literal construction of a use diagram. In this instance, form does not
follow function, but is instead function itself. Cyclical movement, routine and
surprise turn into a way of living.
Its formal
complexity offers the possibility of reaching all points of the house through
two different routes, which multiply the possibilities of use and enjoyment. It
has the form of a loop, 360º, like the shapes skaters make, like of gymnasts,
as artistic as they are precise.
An extreme
shape, the house is curved, generating the greatest quantity of linear meters
towards the good views. It is shored up in the landscape and turns back on
itself, completing the revolution. The degree of intimacy increases as the
distance to the ends increases. At the midpoint, a mediatheque, isolated and
completely dark, 100 % technology, 0 % landscape.
With a
single gesture two ways of moving are generated: going down and looking
outwards. The long house, a sinuous movement, a descent by ramp and ample
turning radii tangential to the setbacks of the plot of land generate a
panoramic vision. The short house, the quick way in a straight line, stairs of
direct descent and a deep view towards the landscape.
A building
that is black outside, absorbent, of slate, a material specific to the
location, imposed as an aesthetic specification of the area. White inside,
reflective, generic, neutral, and luminous. Life incorporates colour, outside
with the vegetation and inside with the people.
