Residence in Torrelodones

Located in the northwestern hills of Madrid, this home offers a serene, immersive, and natural dialogue between light and material. Its bold, contemporary architecture blends seamlessly with a shifting landscape of textures, shadows, and distant horizons. The lighting design, conceived from an integrative logic, reinforces the Mediterranean industrial aesthetic that defines the project: a sober, warm, and essential style, where noble materials coexist with natural elements and precise technical solutions.

In the living area, a large pendant lamp made of natural fibres takes centre stage, functioning as both a textile sculpture and a luminous focal point. Light is softened by earthy-toned walls and a carefully curated selection of furniture that balances industrial character with Mediterranean warmth. The lighting is structured in layers: a functional,frameless recessed base in a warm tone, and decorative fixtures that bring rhythm, scale,and personality to the space.

In the private areas, the lighting strategy becomes more restrained, favouring indirect solutions that provide visual comfort and emphasise a welcoming atmosphere. In the main bedroom, a concealed light line enhances the headboard and outlines the room’s perimeter, creating an intimate, almost theatrical setting. In the youth bedroom, small recessed accents and an industrial-style pendant lamp add a sense of dynamism while maintaining a cosy tone.

The entrance and garden are lit with recessed spotlights and low-height bollards that guide the way without visually disrupting the surroundings. In the greenhouse area, technical lighting is seamlessly integrated into the architectural structure, enhancing the vegetation and natural materials without overpowering them.

The result is a timeless residence where lighting not only supports but reveals the spirit of the project: a contemporary retreat where artisanal beauty and technical clarity coexist in harmony.
