In the heart of Almagro, within a distinguished building designed by Luis Gutiérrez Soto, this ground-floor residence embodies a refined approach to interior living. The apartment draws inspiration from classical Japanese design principles—a sensibility defined by restraint, materiality and the careful orchestration of light and space. The home unfolds across 324 square metres with a fluid spatial sequence. The ground-floor placement offers a direct relationship to the exterior terrace, a 12-square-metre extension that serves as a natural gathering point. The layout balances openness in the shared living areas with privacy in the sleeping quarters, where three bedrooms and four bathrooms provide both comfort and flexibility. Each room receives natural light through the apartment's exterior orientation, creating a sense of continuity between inside and out.
Almagro
Almagro is the quiet pocket tucked between Chamberí and the Castellana — a handful of blocks where old-money Spanish families, diplomats, and private-office founders have lived for generations. Streets like Calle Fortuny, Calle Zurbano, and Calle Almagro itself are lined with late-19th-century palacetes originally built as single-family residences, mostly subdivided into one or two full-floor apartments per building, with a few still in the hands of the founding families. The density of embassies and consulates per block is the highest in Madrid outside the formal diplomatic strip on Castellana. The housing stock is unusually homogeneous for central Madrid — stone-and-brick façades, 3–4m ceilings, original wrought-iron balustrades — and apartments run large, 180–400 m² being typical.
