Puerta de Hierro Housing Development

A house ceases to be just a home when it begins to tell the story of those who live there.
The owners, a young couple, weren’t looking for just another house. They were looking for a place that represented them. An interior with its own identity, where the existing architecture would be enriched by a careful selection of furniture, art, and materials capable of standing the test of time.

The large windows frame the landscape as if they were living paintings, while the linear fireplace introduces a horizontal axis that provides balance and visual continuity.

Living Room

The centerpiece is a modular sofa with soft lines and very understated proportions: the Flexform Groundpiece. The very deep seat invites a relaxed way of living, where comfort takes precedence over formality. The low arms and large cushions create a horizontal silhouette that emphasizes the calmness of the piece as a whole.

Carl Hasen & Son Armchairs: These two armchairs complement the living room’s seating arrangement without visually competing with the sofa.

Ethnicrat Coffee Table: Its stained oak or black ash finish adds depth and visually anchors the arrangement.

Arte Paper Collective’s color palette—terracotta, dusty pink, burgundy, and ochre—adds the only pop of color to the living room.
The decor follows a philosophy very close to the Mediterranean wabi-sabi style. Bowls, Salvatori; Ceramics, Domani; Rug, Limited Edition.

Dining Room

The table, Van Rossum, is the focal point of the room. Its design embodies a monolithic, architectural aesthetic, in which geometry and material take center stage.

The Bitta Chair by Kettal provides a light, airy contrast to the table’s solid presence. It features a very slender black metal frame combined with a seat and backrest woven from taut, sand-colored rope.

The screens, Bocci, are spherical and made of opal glass; their varying heights create a sense of dynamism without losing balance.

Hallway

The change in level is achieved with a single, very long step. Far from being perceived as an obstacle, it serves as a natural transition between two areas of the home. There is no side furniture, console tables, or decorative objects in this hallway. The natural oak flooring lends the space its warmth.

The Rimadesio doors are fully integrated into the architecture.

The artwork becomes the sole focal point of the tour. It is a large-scale abstract composition inspired by geometric minimalism, by Sean Scully.
