U PENTHOUSE | ÁBATON

Split level Penthouse in Madrid. 285 sq mt

All the access areas to this property were conceived as outdoor spaces to increase
the sensation of privacy and isolation. The terraces which mark out the different
areas were decorated with non-invasive plants, leafy enough to give the
impression of a ground level garden. A natural irrigation system was designed
leading rain water from the roof tops down towards the terraces so no
maintenance is necessary. These terraces of warm earth serve as insulators.

As for the main materials used in the build: Honed limestone floors laid over an
under the floor heating system. Plastered walls finished in matt white paint.
Facades clad with coloured mortar render. Flat roofs layered with gravel. Interior
woodwork and doors made from white-lacquered MDF. Exterior joinery made
from lacquered aluminium.
