Located in Las Rozas, with open views towards the Sierra de Guadarrama, the house is composed of five cylinders that define the proposal and shape its geometry for a variety of reasons.
The cylindrical volumes organise the programme with precision, accommodating the bedrooms, the living area, the volume that integrates vehicular access with the garage and the wellness area, the volume containing the swimming pool and technical facilities, and the entrance area. The structure is clearly resolved through this geometry, which coherently defines the spatial character of each area.
The cylinders are cut obliquely for two reasons. On the one hand, to adapt naturally to the slope of the terrain; on the other, at the upper level, to respond to the need for a pitched roof—traditional in the area—and to capture light from different orientations.
The floor plan is rationally organised through orthogonal volumes arranged at 120-degree angles, which are connected to form a small yet significant inner courtyard. Due to its geometry, light transforms its surface and alters the perception of the space throughout the day.
Over time, the openings allow for panoramic views of the landscape. This configuration also enables each volume to have its own outdoor space: courtyards protected from the wind and from view in two of the volumes, and an open terrace in another.
From a more intuitive perspective, perhaps the fascination with Andreu Alfaro’s “Homage to Brancusi” provides an essential point of departure for understanding the origins of this project.

Situada en Las Rozas, con vistas abiertas hacia la Sierra de Guadarrama, la vivienda se compone de cinco cilindros que configuran la propuesta y dan forma a su geometría por diversos motivos.
Los cuerpos cilíndricos organizan el programa de manera precisa, albergando las habitaciones, la zona de estar, la pieza que integra el acceso rodado con el garaje y el área destinada a la salud, el volumen que contiene la piscina y las instalaciones, y la zona de entrada. La estructura se resuelve con nitidez a través de esta geometría, que define con coherencia el carácter espacial de cada ámbito.
Los cilindros se seccionan de manera oblicua por dos razones. Por un lado, para adaptarse de forma natural al desnivel del terreno; por otro, en la cota superior, para responder a la necesidad de una cubierta inclinada —tradicional en la zona— y captar la luz desde distintas orientaciones.
La planta se organiza de manera racional mediante cuerpos ortogonales dispuestos a 120°, que se enlazan entre sí formando un reducido pero significativo patio interior. Debido a su geometría, la luz transforma su superficie y modifica la percepción del espacio a lo largo del día.
Con el paso del tiempo, las aperturas permiten disfrutar de vistas panorámicas del paisaje. Esta configuración posibilita además que cada pieza disponga de un espacio exterior propio: patios protegidos del viento y de las miradas en dos de los volúmenes, y una terraza abierta en otro de ellos.
Desde un punto de vista más intuitivo, quizás la fascinación por el “Homenaje a Brancusi” de Andreu Alfaro constituye un detonante esencial para comprender el origen de este proyecto.
