Oswald House in Puerta de Hierro

Matilde Ucelay Maórtua

"The ground floor is articulated in an 'L' shape, which houses the single-storey garage on the short side (capable of accommodating 5 vehicles) and the long side, in turn, is made up of two double-height bodies: one with a single bay, linked to the garage and housing the services of the house, and another with a double bay, the main one, which houses the day area of the dwelling. The link between the two bodies is a structural line that is the rear façade of the service area, which opens onto the swimming pool (to the west) by means of a porch, and the main façade (to the east) of the noble area, where once again a public porch replicates the private one.

The first floor has, in the main volume, the parents' quarters and, in the secondary volume, the children's quarters, which are perfectly independent. The service bedrooms are housed under the roof of the main body, thus gaining height and, with it, representativeness in the elevations, which show, in the complex play of roofs, the rich articulations and nuances of the floors".
