The Botjio house’s high ceilings enhance openness and airflow, while southern light and adjustable shading optimise interior comfort. Energy efficiency is ensured with thick insulation, natural cross ventilation, and radiant-cooling floors powered by aerothermal energy. These features minimise energy consumption and enhance thermal comfort throughout the dwellings.

Placed in Madrid, the house blends into its urban context with red brick and industrial materials like concrete and galvanised steel. A ceramic latticework hides the stairwell, integrating with neighbouring buildings. Emphasising communal interaction, it features shared spaces and flexible layouts.
