Hand-fired clay tiles<\/a>, exposed timber and plaster walls bring “essential simplicity” to Rosa Mar\u00eda House, a residence near Madrid<\/a> designed by Spanish architecture studio Delavegacanolasso<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Organised around two internal courtyards, the 320-square-metre home is nestled between a wooded area and a large lawn that informed Delavegacanolasso<\/a>‘s use of a pared-back, natural material palette.<\/p>\n

“The Rosa Mar\u00eda House is rooted in essential simplicity \u2013 a serene, well-oriented home where light, proportion, and honest materials define the atmosphere,” the studio’s co-founder Ignacio de la Vega told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“The concept focuses on creating calm, balanced spaces that respond naturally to their environment and daily life.”<\/p>\n

\"SpanishThe home was designed with a tactile material palette<\/p>\n

A path shaded by a long white wall forms what De la Vega called a “ceremonial approach” into the home, passing beneath a porch sheltered by wooden slats to reach a central corridor.<\/p>\n

This corridor is flanked by two patio courtyards wrapped by walls of full-height glazing and sliding doors, around which the roof geometry has been designed to control the entry of light.<\/p>\n

\"RosaClay tiles line the floors<\/p>\n

“The roof is the project’s defining gesture. From a simple, well-oriented plan, its geometry folds to generate two patios and a generous porch, shaping how light enters the house \u2013 when and how it should,” said De la Vega.<\/p>\n

The largest courtyard at the home’s centre features a paved patio acting as an extension to the dining area, while a smaller courtyard to the north is finished with pebbles and plants.<\/p>\n

\"DiningThe dining area leads out to a patio<\/p>\n

Both the central living, dining and kitchen area of Rosa Mar\u00eda House and the patio have been given a floor finish of hand-fired Moroccan clay tiles, intended to make the transition between inside and out feel seamless.<\/p>\n

These floor tiles are at the centre of a deliberately simple and rustic material palette, alongside exposed plywood carpentry, pine plank ceilings, a white-painted steel framework and plastered walls.<\/p>\n

This is mirrored in the home’s exterior, which features pale cream rendered walls and pale terracotta roof tiles, typical of many of the more rural homes in the area.<\/p>\n

“The elements in contact with the ground \u2013 floors and walls \u2013 are crafted and tactile: white plaster, pine wood, and handmade Moroccan terracotta tiles, each irregular and full of character,” De la Vega explained.<\/p>\n

“In contrast, the roof structure is light, precise, and prefabricated – designed for efficiency and clarity. This dialogue between the handcrafted and the technical reinforces the house’s serene yet dynamic character,” he added.<\/p>\n

\"RosaThe plan is organised around two internal courtyards<\/p>\n

Rosa Mar\u00eda House’s bedrooms are positioned at the eastern edge of the home to take advantage of the morning sun, while facing south, the living area opens onto a sheltered terrace through sliding glass doors.<\/p>\n

A lightweight, suspended steel staircase leads up to a study area on the home’s upper level, which faces east through a window in a projecting, mono-pitched section of roof.<\/p>\n

Delavegacanolasso was founded in 2017 by De la Vega alongside Pilar Cano-Lasso. Previous projects by the studio include a prefabricated steel-framed cabin<\/a> and a mirrored extension for a hidden house in Madrid<\/a>.<\/p>\n
