A sporty sense of playfulness wafts into a handsomely juxtaposed house, home to a well-known international sportsman.

There is an inexhaustible energy in Casa H. The unending sense of space conjugates (what seems to be) a variety of living blocks in an asymmetrical order. The irony between its bleached palette and the lush greenery express a subtle cohabitation of the two elements, within a rather uniform environment. Doing the unexpected, the non-hierarchical order stands out with its geometric display of positive and negative lateral spaces.
The house is situated in an exclusive area in Madrid, Spain. Architect Alfredo Munoz of ABIBOO Architecture answers the broad and diverse functional needs of the client who is a high-profile international sports person.
“My practice and research focus on the development of integral processes at the intersection of arts, engineering, anthropology as well as the sensorial approach to architecture,” the architect confesses.
In Casa H, there is a sense of art movement that meanders from one space to another; like an open gallery. These theatrics are balanced with a unique touch of contemporary style that gives out a minimalistic look. But in that organised mannerism, its ‘soul’ is present. Every corner of the house tells a different story and narrates a distinctive mood altogether. It is hard to point out a favourite spot because ever corner is unique on its own.
It is definite to stop by and be mesmerised in awe from the front elevation of the house. As if looking parallel across the flat land, the architecture continues to surprise with a subsurface level that leads to the lounging terraces at the back. In further delight, the individual pavilions are pieced together in a rather peculiar but interesting way – creating a dynamic exterior shape that is au courant but not over the top.
Take another look around and expect more surprises on all four sides of the building.
