Casa O3 in Madrid, Spain by Lucas y Hernández-Gil Arquitectos

This was a house for a married couple with four children, that asked Lucas y Hernández-Gil Arquitectos for a house that could take advantage of the views of Retiro Park and a kitchen being part of the social area.

This is a building of the late nineteenth century, one of the first ones of the expansion district of Madrid, really close to Retiro Park. Lucas y Hernández-Gil Arquitectos keep the original joinery of the balconies to Retiro Park and they were carefully restored. Also, they keep the original marble fireplace.

The arrangement that architectors found was fully compartmentalized and constantly changed. They modify the space for a clear and open one with light in every room. The day area, living room, dinning room and study, towards Retiro Park and the bedrooms to the courtyard. The kitchen in the heart of the house assembles both parts.
