In Santo Domingo, a leafy neighbourhood on Madrid's outskirts, this independent chalet unfolds across 488 square metres of thoughtfully arranged living space. The semi-basement positioning allows natural light to enter from multiple orientations, creating a home that feels both grounded and open to its surroundings. The layout moves through distinct zones: a sequence of living areas that connect fluidly to the kitchen and dining space, then flows toward the sleeping quarters. Four bedrooms and five bathrooms are distributed across the property, offering flexibility for a family or those requiring multiple private spaces. The semi-basement level, rather than feeling enclosed, functions as a primary living floor that engages with the garden and external areas through carefully positioned openings.
