Located in one of Madrid’s most prestigious residential areas, the Park House by A-cero is a showcase of orthogonal architecture, sculptural volumes, and luxurious minimalism. Designed by Joaquín Torres and Rafael Llamazares, this 13,500-square-foot home stands on a 1,700 m² plot and blends natural stone and glass into a composition that reflects both elegance and power.
Monumental Entrance and Layered Layout
The home’s presence begins at the street—where a custom black glass and steel gate opens to reveal a manicured garden and striking limestone-and-glass façade. A grand entry door welcomes visitors into a double-height foyer, where an iconic spiral staircase in white and glass becomes the central architectural gesture, linking all three floors.
“We wanted to keep the essence of the A-cero style, but adapt the geometry to the client’s request for a more orthogonal scheme,” – A-cero

A Harmonious Palette of Stone, Glass, and Wood
Park House is a material symphony of limestone, lacquered surfaces, and wood flooring. Interior design is subtle and refined—favoring clean lines, minimal ornamentation, and high-end finishes. Children’s spaces introduce a restrained palette of color, maintaining the overall serenity of the home.
Every room, view, and transition is choreographed for flow, light, and privacy. The integration of home automation elevates functionality while reinforcing the minimalist clarity of the design.
Park House by A-cero is a meticulously designed family home—architectural in vision, livable in scale, and refined in every material and spatial gesture. A synthesis of form, function, and artistic restraint, it exemplifies modern residential design in Spain.
