Villa 18: Awarded at the German Design Awards

The Villa 18 project in La Moraleja has received international recognition after being awarded in the Excellent Architecture category at the German Design Awards 2026.

This prize, granted by the German Design Council, represents one of the most significant recognitions in the field of design at an international level. Its aim is to identify and highlight proposals that bring innovation and define new directions across different disciplines.

The project features diagonal views towards a lake belonging to the La Moraleja golf course in Madrid. Given the generous dimensions of the site, the proposal is for a dwelling that is developed primarily on a single level.

The daytime area is organised into two volumes of different heights that shift relative to each other to create a protected terrace overlooking the landscape, oriented դեպի the southeast. The main volume reaches a height of nearly one and a half storeys. A third volume contains the nighttime area, positioned in such a way that it enjoys its own more private outdoor space. The movement of the three built volumes shapes an प्रवेश courtyard, oriented to the north, which gives identity to the entrance sequence. The geometry has a structural function and allows the views towards the landscape to remain free of supports, enabling the spaces to be adaptable in the future for new uses and users.
