In Los Molinos, a picturesque village in the Guadarrama mountains, a family from Madrid found their ideal refuge. With a deep emotional attachment to the area, they decided to build their dream home on a large plot of land. To do so, they entrusted the Estudio de María del Valle, in charge of the interior layout, functional design and aesthetics of this 350 square metre home.
Architecture in harmony with the environment
From the outset, the integration of the landscape was essential in the design. Priority was given to the entry of natural light and the optimisation of views towards iconic points of the Madrid mountains. Floor-to-ceiling windows, large enclosures and black carpentry were combined with reclaimed wood, creating an elegant contrast with the local stone and bringing modernity without losing the rustic essence.
The heart of the house is a double-height space connecting the two floors, lit by a wide corridor with glass balustrades. This solution allows light to flow between the levels, while a fixed window in the master bedroom offers uninterrupted views of the garden and pool, reinforcing the visual connection with the outdoors.
Natural materials and warm finishes
The materials selected emphasise naturalness and comfort. The floor is covered with natural slate on the ground floor and oak wood on the upper floor, creating a sense of continuity. The bathrooms stand out for their large-format porcelain tiles, which imitate natural textures such as wood, creating warm and welcoming spaces.
The guest toilet is one of the most special spaces in the home. Here, the protagonist is the Río washbasin by Bathco, made of natural stone, which adds texture and authenticity to the atmosphere. The choice of this washbasin, together with wall tiles in neutral tones and wooden details, turns the washroom into a warm and welcoming space, ideal for receiving guests.
Spaces for enjoyment
The kitchen combines modernity and rusticity with a laurel green design and natural oak details. The space is functional and elegant, perfect for family life.
The garden, with a pool with a light background and stone walls, evokes Mediterranean landscapes. The covered porch is a privileged place to enjoy the views and has custom-designed armchairs, offering a unique corner for relaxation and contemplation.
