In La Moraleja, where quiet streets meet the open landscape of the Soto, this loft occupies the second floor of a contemporary building designed for discreet living. The apartment is organised around a sequence of connected spaces, beginning with an entrance area that introduces the material language of the home—oak flooring, smooth plaster walls and integrated lighting that defines the atmosphere from the first step. The living and dining area unfolds as a single volume, its proportions extended by a 29 m² terrace accessed through full-height sliding doors. The kitchen, positioned along one side, is conceived as a functional yet unobtrusive element, with matte lacquered cabinetry and stone worktops that blend into the overall palette. Two bedrooms occupy the opposite wing, each with its own bathroom. The main suite includes a dressing area and a bathroom finished in large-format porcelain, while the second bathroom adopts a more minimal approach with a floating vanity and concealed storage. Throughout, the details remain consistent: flush doors, recessed handles and a climate system that operates without visible intervention.
La Moraleja is technically not Madrid — it sits in the municipality of Alcobendas, about 15 km north of the city via the A-1 motorway — but it functions as the international corporate family's default answer to "where do we live while our kids go to school in English?" The district is a collection of gated residential estates developed from the 1970s onward, with villas on 1,000–5,000 m² plots, private gardens, pools, and the highest concentration of English- and other foreign-language international schools in all of Spain (ICS, Runnymede, King's College, Brewster, Colegio Base, the Lycée Français Saint-Exupéry campus — all within 1 km of each other). It is suburban in the American sense, not the Spanish: you drive everywhere, the streets are leafy, and the social fabric runs through the school gates and the Club de Campo La Moraleja golf clubhouse.
