Villa 18, House in La Moraleja by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos

The project designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos features diagonal views toward a lake belonging to the La Moraleja golf course in Madrid. Given that the size of this location allowed for it, a home was proposed that develops primarily on a single floor. The daytime area is organized into two volumes of different heights that shift in relation to each other, creating a sheltered terrace that faces the landscape, oriented southeast. The main body has a height of almost one and a half floors. A third structure houses the nighttime area, positioned in such a way that it has its own more private outdoor space.

House in Sotogrande by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos

House in Sotogrande is a project designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos. Located in front of the Sotogrande golf course, the layout of this house invites us to experience the shadow between the ground plane and the roof that extends over it. A generous roof cantilever that not only offers shelter from the intense sun of Cadiz, but also protects from the copious rains that descend from the Sierra de Grazalema, the place with the highest rainfall in the Iberian Peninsula.

Compluvium House by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos

Compluvium House is a project designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos. The ancient Greeks, Etruscans and Romans implemented in their aristocratic residences a new architectural system known as compluvium, designed to divert rainwater into the impluvium. This structure, located in the heart of the domus, not only had an initial practical function of expelling smoke from internal fires, but also evolved to improve fundamental aspects such as natural lighting, room ventilation and the efficient accumulation of rainwater.

SABATER HOUSE by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos

The project designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos arises from its implementation in the environment. The building unfolds through a very clear geometry, deviating from the concept of compact architecture. This strategy, combined with the slim proportion of the construction, allows for an increased perimeter of the dwelling’s contact with the exterior, creating a system of courtyards that seems limitless.

Álamo House by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos

Álamo House by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos. The proposal, located in Madrid, is built on a plot with a significant elevation and an escape towards the landscape on its diagonal direction. The impossibility of accommodating the entire program on a single floor makes a two-level design necessary for the house. However, we strive to create a sense of continuity through the openings. We like to envision the house as a solid mass, from which these openings are carved out, creating a piece with a dynamic narrative. Photography by Jesús Orrico.

The Empty House by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos

The Empty House is a project designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos. Located on the main street of a town near Valencia, the house is part of a fragment of 20th century history.
The existing façade and building footprint are protected, but the volume exceeds the needs of the new project. Faced with this situation, it is proposed to empty the interior space in ruins and show it in an innovative way. From the outside, the façade maintains its character, without modifying the street, which becomes a kind of scenery from another era. The tone of this old façade is unified with an antelope gray treatment that goes completely unnoticed. Photography by Fernando Guerra.

Àtic Blanc by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos

Àtic Blanc is a project designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos located in the center of Valencia, the project seeks to reinterpret the approach of this type of housing, recovering the potential of disused roofs. We like to think that each building takes away an open space from the city and gives it back on the roof. Photography by Diego Opazo.
