Timber frame
A house assembled to the millimetre instead of mixed on site: quicker to raise and steadier as the years pass.
Get inspired
Custom timber-frame homes, from Madrid across Spain. This isn't a catalogue: it's everything you get to choose when the house is built for you.
Every element combines with the rest. You can stay with the essentials or go all the way to the last indulgence, and the structure and the guarantees will be the same either way. The only thing that changes is how much of your home you decide yourself.
You feel it before you see it
Some things never show up on a viewing and you notice them every single day: a steady temperature with no machine humming, a warm floor in January, the noise of the street staying out on the street. This is where energy efficiency stops being a label and becomes how you live.
A house assembled to the millimetre instead of mixed on site: quicker to raise and steadier as the years pass.
Insulation wraps the house without a break, like a coat with no seams. That's what keeps the temperature in and the bill down.
One machine for heating, cooling and hot water, drawing most of the energy it delivers straight from the air.
Warmth rising from the floor instead of blowing out of a grille. No draughts, no noise and no radiators taking up wall.
Windows that hold back cold, heat and noise. You choose the material, the colour and how far the glass goes.
Skylights, high openings and an orientation planned so that at midday you don't need to switch anything on.
What you see and touch
Two homes with the same floor plan can look nothing alike. The tone of the façade, the way the flooring carries from one room into the next, the temperature of the light as the afternoon fades. That's the difference between a house and your house.
Mediterranean white, stone, timber or porcelain. It's the first sentence your house says before anyone steps inside.
Large format for continuity, timber for warmth, or a mix that changes language from room to room.
From the off-white that opens everything up to the deep tone that turns a living room into a refuge. Decided last, with the finished volume in front of you.
General light for the day, accent light for the evening and saved scenes so you don't have to think about it every time.
Floor-to-ceiling doors, sliders that hand metres back to the living room and built-in wardrobes that vanish into the wall.
Everyday life
A home is measured in rushed mornings and dinners that run long. Which is why these two spaces aren't picked from a closed package: they're configured piece by piece, down to the handle.
Island, peninsula or galley. Drawn around the way you cook, not the other way round.
Porcelain, compact surface or natural stone, with fronts matching or deliberately at odds. Durability and character aren't mutually exclusive.
Induction, an oven at eye level, an integrated extractor or downdraft straight through the worktop.
Flush walk-in shower, freestanding bath or both. Wall-hung units so cleaning is one sweep.
From classic chrome to matt black or brushed brass. It's the detail you touch most and the first one that gives away a carefully built house.
Out through the doors
The best months of the year are spent outdoors and yet the garden is usually the last thing anyone draws. Not here: the outside isn't what's left of the plot once the house is placed, it's floor area you actually live in, and it's designed with the same care as the living room.
Prefabricated to have it sooner, or built in place so it takes exactly the shape you pictured: infinity edge, beach entry or perimeter overflow.
Salt chlorination so you can forget about chlorine, a counter-current jet to swim laps in four metres, hydromassage and lighting that turns it into something else after dark.
Species that take the summer here without begging for water, automatic irrigation and a lawn that doesn't become a chore.
Shade where and when you need it. Fixed, bioclimatic with adjustable louvres, or planted — covering you in August and letting the sun through in January.
Barbecue, sink, fridge and worktop, so you don't spend the whole gathering walking in and out of the house.
Somewhere low, soft and with a fire for the last stretch of the night, when nobody wants to sit at a table any more.
A house that answers
Good home automation doesn't show off: you forget it's there. Blinds that drop by themselves when the sun bites, a lighting scene as you walk in, the car charging overnight on what your panels banked that morning. Fewer buttons and a smaller bill.
Light, climate, blinds and irrigation from your phone, from a wall panel or just by saying it out loud. Installed with the house, not patched on later.
Brightness and colour temperature that follow the hour: cool and awake in the morning, warm and low from eight onwards.
Connected alarm, cameras, video entry on your phone and a keyless lock. Knowing who's at the door from a thousand kilometres away.
Panels sized to what you actually use, with a battery if you want real independence. The roof leaves site already prepared.
A charging point in the garage from day one. Adding it later means opening trenches all over again.
Knowing what each thing costs you and at what hour. It's the fastest way to make the bill fall on its own.
What if we said yes
This isn't a shopping list: these are indulgences that get planned before a single wall goes up, because afterwards there's no room for them. If one of them has been circling your head for years, now is the moment to say it out loud.
Finnish or infrared, off the main bathroom or beside the pool. Twenty minutes that fix a whole day.
An outdoor hot tub facing the horizon, or an indoor wet area with an experience shower. The spa, without leaving home.
A room with a proper floor, a mirror and real ventilation. The no-time excuse ends here.
A blacked-out room, projector, surround sound and actual cinema seating. The cabling goes in during the build or it doesn't go in.
Climate controlled, with steady temperature and humidity. Glazed if you want to show it off, under the stairs if you'd rather keep it to yourself.
Two or three floors stop being a problem the day they become one. And if you don't want it now, the shaft is left ready.
Wood for the ritual or gas for the ease. Suspended, double-sided, or as the centrepiece of the living room.
Blinds that open with the alarm, light that rises slowly and climate that adjusts itself while you sleep.
