Casa Roble by muka arquitectura is designed in response to its natural surroundings, integrating two existing oak trees and the Pedrezuela Reservoir, Madrid , into its spatial configuration. The structure adapts to these elements through distinct facade treatments: a compressed, single-height access on the south side and a double-height glazed facade on the north.
The internal layout follows an ascending spiral, transitioning from social to private spaces while maximizing natural light penetration. The use of concrete and a double structural skin establishes continuity between interior and exterior spaces, maintaining a restrained and functional aesthetic. The placement of the house is determined by three pre-existing elements: the oak trees, a sheet of water, and the horizon.
On the south facade, the entrance is designed as a continuous curve that adapts to the terrain. The design establishes a dialogue between the pre-existing natural environment and the built intervention, emphasizing its integration with the site. The architectural team organizes a diagonal spatial arrangement to ensure light distribution across all levels, reinforcing the relationship between the house and its environment. A concrete framework allows flexibility in the placement of structural supports, shaping an interior sequence of floating levels.
These levels create a spatial transition from communal to private areas, following an ascending circulation path that connects reception areas, a study gallery, shower and bathtub zones, bedroom, and walk-in closet. A double structural skin, composed of concrete with integrated insulation, enhances thermal performance while maintaining a cohesive material language. This construction method minimizes the distinction between structure, enclosure, and interior finishes, incorporating essential systems within the concrete framework.
