Casa Pitch in Madrid by Iñaqui Carnicero has just been completed. It took five years to build. The structure is located on a rocky slope called “los Peñascales” – which means rocky area in Spanish.
As if gathered out of the rock, the whole house is itself a massive weight of concrete. Under the gigantic weight of concrete, a single horizontal plane defines the building’s footprint, where daily life goes on. On this floor, all the furniture is reduced to one single element that has very different functions: storage, kitchen, sitting area and entrance windbreak. All the wardrobes are concentrated in one single strip that is attached to the façade, improving the thermal behavior of the building and therefore reducing its energy consumption.
