Casaguapa Alto Tajo is located in Armallones, within Alto Tajo Natural Park, where the road ends and the territory opens up.
The project began with two ruined houses that were close to disappearing. It was necessary to clear the plots completely and start again. Rather than building one large house, we chose to create two independent homes, integrated into the village and designed to welcome couples, small families, or small groups, while allowing different stays to coexist with their own sense of privacy.
This house is arranged over two floors and opens onto a private interior patio, discreet from the street. Behind a simple door, an unexpected and sheltered space appears — ideal for outdoor breakfasts, unhurried meals, or long summer evenings. It includes a barbecue and becomes a natural extension of daily life in the house.
The interior is simple and warm, with a predominance of wood, natural fibers, and a few reclaimed or handcrafted pieces that add character without drawing attention to themselves. The intention was not to create something striking, but something truly livable.
Casaguapa was also conceived as a way of experiencing this place from within — not just visiting for a few days, but sensing what it means to live here: the silence, the proximity to nature, and a more essential rhythm. Sometimes those who come return. That possibility is part of the spirit of the project.
