Photo shoot for a completed project in La Moraleja: Villa Gaitanes

Our studio has completed the photo shoot for Villa Gaitanes, thus continuing the process of documenting and disseminating this project. Photographer Jesús Orrico’s perspective has allowed for the precise capture of the atmosphere and spatial essence of the residence.

The design of this house is based on a volume formed by the addition and subtraction of circular forms from a central rectangular mass, reinterpreting the relationship between geometry and environment. This formal configuration creates spaces for covered and uncovered terraces that embrace the existing natural green landscape on the plot.

The residence is composed of two clearly differentiated volumetric logics: the orthogonality of the central core and the fluidity of the curved geometries. The rectangular mass represents stability and organization, while the circular forms introduce a dynamic dimension that energizes the exterior space. Together, both elements create a balance between solidity and openness.

The organization of this villa is distributed across two levels. On the ground floor, at the level of the main entrance, both the private and social areas are fully developed, prioritizing accessibility and a direct connection with the garden. The lower level houses support areas, services, and facilities in a basement floor which, due to the careful consideration in its implementation, is practically invisible from the plot.

Villa Gaitanes is conceived as a serene space where architecture complements the landscape. The sequence of its terraces, the precision of its geometric composition, and the prominence of the surrounding nature create an experience that invites one to inhabit the place calmly, in a constant balance between the built environment and the natural surroundings.
