Delavegacanolasso designs a modular house among pine trees in Madrid

In its design approach to Fresnos (translated as Ashes), Madrid-based architectural studio Delavegacanolasso set about creating “a simple and pleasant house” surrounded by nature.

The studio placed the house in a natural clearing between the pines — hidden from the road but open to the forest, the development altered as little of the terrain as possible. Paco Marín Delavegacanolasso Anchored on a sloping hillside, Delavegacanolasso designed a house that works as a large porch. The structure starts at the terrain’s natural height — from here, it is supported by a... More
