Villa 18 -Luxury home in Madrid (Spain)
by
SENSEM
The project features diagonal views toward a lake belonging to the La Moraleja golf course in Madrid. Given that the size of this location allowed for it, a home was proposed that develops primarily on a single floor. The daytime area is organized into two volumes of different heights that shift in relation to each other, creating a sheltered terrace that faces the landscape, oriented southeast.

About SENSEM
SENSEM crafts frameless door systems that blend into the walls around them. Without a frame or architrave, a room takes on a different composure. The wall reads as one continuous surface, doors can rise to full height, and modest proportions feel generous.
Made to measure
Each door is tailored to its opening and finished as the room requires. It may take on the wall’s own finish and blend into it entirely, or stand as a considered surface of natural timber, lacquer or glass. With sliding, pivot, hinged, acoustic and fire-rated systems in the range, the same frameless detail can follow a project from the entrance to the most private rooms.
Precision beneath the surface
The engineering stays out of sight. A patented galvanised steel mesh anchors the hidden frame within the wall and reduces the chances of cracks along the join, while concealed hinges bear the weight inside the door so it hangs true over time. The system adapts to existing partitions to suit a renovation as readily as new build.
Rooted in Spanish craftsmanship
SENSEM grew out of a Valencian tradition of artisanal carpentry dating back to 1936. In South Africa, we work alongside architects, interior designers and developers from Johannesburg, ideally from the first drawings.
