Description by architect: Attics comprise a peculiar urban geography. As the tops of buildings, they can reveal surprising singularities that are hard to imagine when one is strolling through a city at ground level. Cupolas, pavilions, terraces and towers share the space with leafy plantations, delusions in textile, illegal transparent enclosures and sloping tiled roofs. This project is linked to this world of fantasy, which it exploits through the restoration of the site’s stunning original features and the invention of architectural operations close to woodwork and gardening.

建筑师描述：阁楼构成了一种特殊的城市地理。作为建筑物的顶部，它们可以揭示出令人惊讶的奇点，这是很难想象的，当一个人漫步在一个城市的地面水平。冲天炉、亭台、露台和塔楼与茂密的种植园、纺织业的妄想、非法透明的围栏和倾斜的瓷砖屋顶共享空间。这个项目是与这个幻想的世界联系在一起的，它通过恢复网站的惊人的原始特征和创造接近木制品和园艺的建筑操作来利用这个世界。

Located on a characteristic street in Madrid’s Barrio de Salamanca, the Penthouse H forms part of the seventh floor of a typical bourgeoisie twentieth-century building. It originally housed an Academy of Fine Arts. In essence, it possesses all of the qualities of traditional painting studios: a principal volume with a soaring gabled roof, which reaches a height of 7 meters at the ridge beam and boasts a large north-facing bank of iron-framed windows that provide an even illumination to the work space. The rest of the structural elements are made up of smaller volumes arranged around two interior patios and the building’s rear facade. The setbacks on the facades make it possible to enjoy the outdoors in two singular spaces. On the north side, there is an elongated terrace with direct views of a picturesque turret. The south terrace offers an expansive and wonderfully-oriented space with large enough dimensions to be thought of as a whole other room.

位于马德里巴里奥德萨拉曼卡的一条有特色的街道上，H顶楼是典型的20世纪资产阶级建筑的第七层的一部分。原来是一所美术学院。从本质上讲，它拥有传统画室的所有品质：一本主要的书，屋顶高耸入云，在山脊梁处高达7米，有一大片朝北的铁框窗，为工作空间提供了均匀的照明。其余的结构元素是由较小的体积安排在两个内部庭院和建筑物的后正面。正面的挫折使我们可以在两个独特的空间里享受户外的乐趣。在北面，有一个拉长的露台，可以直接看到如画的炮塔。南阳台提供了一个广阔而美妙的空间，足够大的空间，可以看作是一个整体的另一个房间。

The Penthouse H project followed two strategies. The first was to maintain all of the singular features that made the original space so unique: we respected the striking volume, the beautiful divided panes of the picture window, the old pine floors and the original wood doors. The second was to work on the space through specific operations that were coherent with the logic of the building of large-scale furniture or garden elements. In the main area, we rebuilt a precarious loft using a solution that resolved both structural and air conditioning issues, minimizing its visual impact. The space under the loft was used for the kitchen, the staircase to the next level and storage. In the rooms, a wall of closets and a window form a permeable border with the exterior. The south terrace was conceived of as another room, in which a network of climbing vines (roses, wisteria, ivy and jasmine) will create an aromatic, intimate and hedonistic oasis.

顶层H项目遵循两种策略。第一是保持所有独特的特色，使原来的空间如此独特：我们尊重醒目的音量，美丽分割的窗玻璃，旧松木地板和原始木门。第二种方法是通过特定的操作来研究空间，这些操作与建造大型家具或花园元素的逻辑是一致的。在主要区域，我们重建了一个岌岌可危的阁楼，采用了解决结构和空调问题的解决方案，最大限度地减少了它的视觉影响。阁楼下面的空间被用来做厨房，楼梯到下一层和储藏室。在房间里，一堵壁橱和一扇窗户与外部形成了可渗透的边界。南部露台被设想为另一个房间，其中一个攀缘藤蔓网络(玫瑰，紫藤，常春藤和茉莉花)将创造一个芳香，亲密和享乐主义的绿洲。
