Casa El Rosal Offers Scenic Views of La Bola del Mundo in Spain

On a privileged plot, Casa El Rosal, designed by Estudio Maceda, is a house located in Spain. In 2021, the home was crafted to overlook the Navacerrada reservoir and provide views of La Bola del Mundo.

To maximize its stunning setting, the architecture incorporates a warm ochre exterior that combines stone, Airslate, and corten steel, blending beautifully with the surroundings while creating an open courtyard that bathes the building in light and plants.
