Galgo House, designed by Murado & Elvira architects and located in Madrid, is a creative response to a narrow plot in a quiet neighbourhood. This simple and slender 4-metre-wide dwelling boasts unique outdoor spaces on every level, providing both openness and privacy in a bustling area.

The basement features a sunlit courtyard and a connecting bridge to the garden. On the ground floor, the living area seamlessly extends into a garden with a striking pool. Metal sliding shutters add character to the design.

Upstairs, the main bedroom area encompasses a bedroom, walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom. The first-floor terrace offers both privacy and panoramic views. A floating spiral staircase leads to a rooftop solarium, the perfect place to enjoy the surroundings.

Galgo House challenges the traditional stacked-level concept, creating a dynamic vertical living experience that combines modern design with functionality.
