Located in the outskirts of Madrid on a 5,000 sqm area, architecture studio A-cero presents their current works of a big single-family house. The concrete house is currently under construction ad expected to be complete in 2010.

The house design seems to be hidden between concrete walls and vegetable ramps that extend up to the roof. They are dyed in dark gray and contain, between them, vegetation areas that seem to climb towards the sky. The house’s façade show a spectacular organic view of the whole house and so even the hard concrete shows its most kind face.

The back front of the house is totally opened towards the garden where the lounge, dining room, library, study and bedrooms are. In this façade the wide windows, the volumes set and the projections. These elements cover the several house’s porches. The large window of the main lounge hides itself automatically in order to make this stay completely opened to the exterior areas.

This A-cero’s façade and the roof have the main ecological roles because they are covered with low consume vegetation. Furthermore on the house’s roof has been implemented a renewable energy system made of wide surfaces with solar tubular collectors which allow that the energy autonomy of the house.
