In the refined Almagro district of Chamberí, this attic occupies the top floors of a classic Madrid building, its exterior orientation flooding the home with natural light. The sequence begins with a grand entrance hall, where marble and wood establish a material language that carries through the residence. From here, the space opens into a series of interconnected living areas, each defined by high ceilings and a considered interplay of volume and light. The sleeping quarters are arranged across five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, while a sixth bathroom serves the communal spaces. The terrace extends the living experience outward, offering a rare perspective over the rooftops of Madrid. A lift ensures seamless access, and the attention to detail in finishes and fittings underscores the precision of the design.

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.
