The Italian architecture of the 50s and 60s saw in the formal research, color and textures the main qualities to give the domestic space a human dimension, comfortable and at the same time linked to the place and to local materials with particular attention to ceramics. The Pattern House takes up these principles and applies them in Madrid, merging them with those of contemporary Spanish architecture of flexibility, dynamism and expanded domesticity.

In the Pattern House, colors and patterns are used to suggest and amplify the atmosphere of each space, creating sensations that are always different but also connected to each other. It is the sensations that define the functions: touch, sight and smell are the main tools for the construction of the interior space that adapts to different needs. The house is designed as a diffused space, without divisions, where the only fixed points are the patterns. These take different shapes, from floors to walls, from ceilings to decorations, always visible from any angle.

The Pattern House also relates to new forms of communication and work, such as smart-working, which is materialized into a home-office. In the contemporary era the smart-work is increasingly entering the daily life of many people, showing the need for an adequate space that allows concentration without having to interfere with other domestic dynamics.
