Madrid-based architecture practice OOIIO Architecture has created a single-family house that plays with the intersection of red ceramic-tiled volumes arranged in a rotated position in Valdemorillo, a town north of Madrid, near the Sierra, Spain.

Named Llo House, the 243-square-metre house emerges as an expressive form of material and intricate spatial arrangement.

Designed for a family, all program functions are distributed to each different volume rotated to different angle in protruding arrangement to grasp the view from its surrounding.

Looking closely, it is not clear where the house begins and ends. Each unit provides a surprising encounters where uncertainty domaines all functions.

The project site is hugged by a curving street, enjoying a wide view towards the nearby mountains.

“There were several trees and rocks, so building something in there was, on the one hand, an opportunity to develop a project that played with the distant landscape of the Sierra de Madrid,” said OOIIO Architecture.

According to the studio, preserving the site’s pre-existing nature and existing trees were a challenge for the project.

The architects are inspired by the contextual limitations and describe all of those as “a game” to connect with nature. In this regard, the architects designed a single-family house and distributed its program throughout the plot, avoiding cutting the existing trees.

The team also wanted to direct the views to specific points of the mountains that preside over the horizon. With this approach the house would have turned into a large spatial “pinwheel”, which revolves around a double-height core that embraces the staircase and connects its two floors.

“That kind of mill in which LLO House has become sits on the ground and when turning around the building, a passer-by discovers that the house is never the same, it has a thousand faces,” said the office.

“It is a house that looks to several different points and also when you look at it, it will appear always different, depending on what time of day it is, the season or from where in the plot you are.”

“You will see always a different house! A nuance, a shadow that throws with a specific inclination, but never the same as before,” the studio added.
