Space Age Triple-Layer House Hides a Lush Courtyard & Swimming Pool
An intermediate void separates the elevated half of this futuristic house in Madrid from the subterranean half, channeling light to a secret courtyard garden below. Architecture studio Z4Z4 custom designed ?Casa Tobogan,? or ?Slide House,? for clients who wanted a highly unique modern home with a range of living spaces and a design that reflects their love of global travel. The result feels like a hybrid of residential and institutional architecture, with bright, high-ceiling spaces and a museum-like courtyard hosting a collection of sculpture.

Within this void, which functions like a giant skylight, there?s a car park, an entrance and two staircases. The intermediate level also works as a thermal regulator, creating a grotto effect for the double-height courtyard below.
