Story

Exploring new forms of urban living through spatial continuity and material restraint The ST House in Madrid the potential of reinterpreting domestic standards within an urban context. Designed by maximale, this project challenges conventional housing typologies by fostering new spatial relationships and ways of inhabiting space. The architecture is enveloped in a neutral palette, creating a serene backdrop that allows specific elements to emerge with clarity. This approach emphasizes light, proportion, and material texture as primary design tools, reinforcing the spatial qualities of the home. Organized vertically, the upper floors are defined by clean architectural lines and a measured sense of order. The integration of wood through furniture and paneling introduces warmth and tactility, softening the otherwise precise composition. This results in an atmosphere characterized by a silent dialogue between rigor and comfort, where each element contributes to a discreet domesticity. A central aspect of the ST House is the reactivation of intermediate spaces. The design unfolds through a sequence of courtyards and terraces, transforming often neglected areas into active components of daily life. These outdoor rooms introduce natural light and ventilation, establishing visual and spatial connections between the home's different levels. At the heart of this interaction is the kitchen, strategically positioned as the social and spatial core of the home. It dissolves conventional boundaries, encouraging a fluid use of space where domestic life extends beyond the enclosure. Through this project, maximale explores new forms of domesticity, where material restraint, spatial continuity, and the integration of outdoor spaces redefine urban living experiences in Madrid.
