Casa del Bolo by ÁBATON
Casa del Bolo is part of a housing development of 6 homes designed by architecture firm in ÁBATON in Torrelodones, Spain. The terrain, the type of vegetation and construction (semidetached) determined the design.
The two-storey, 3,681 square foot (342 square meters) house was
elevated over the land in order to preserve the surroundings and the
natural course of the water was respected to guarantee the survival of
plants and trees. “Our client, being an architect, insisted on the
importance of privacy and a concrete wall was built for this purpose.
The sitting room was designed taking into account the direction of the
sun, north to south, to achieve warm light in the winter and coolness in
the summer.”
