Valencia-based architecture firm designs Aluminium House for Madrid city hub

1MINS READ
Renowned architecture firm Fran Silvestre Arquitectos has come up with a two-storey Aluminium House in Madrid. The building made out of aluminium construction systems features a roof terrace that spans the entire width of the building and extends out towards a swimming pool.

The Valencia-based firm wanted the two-storey-high Aluminium House to appear smaller than it actually is. To achieve this, they tried to make the top level feel like the main storey, and the lower level an extension of the patio.

To emphasise the effect, the top-heavy first floor is clad in aluminium panels, while the ground floor is covered in a light stone like the surrounding paving. The large roof terrace cantilevers out from the first floor towards the pool, creating a shaded area beneath.

"The piece, of metallic and horizontal nature, produces the effect of having just one storey," said Fran Silvestre Arquitectos. "With its proportions and materiality, it both contrasts and blends with the tall trees of its environment."
