What if an urban house didn’t defend itself from the city — but filtered it, softened it, and transformed everyday life into a calm retreat?
Lechuza House was designed around gardens, courtyards, and carefully choreographed paths that place nature at the center of daily life. From a discreet street presence to a sequence of lush inner spaces, this house proves that true luxury isn’t exposure — it’s serenity, privacy, and light.
In this video, we explore how architecture, landscape, and movement come together to create an urban refuge that feels surprisingly quiet, intimate, and deeply connected to greenery.
This is not a house that shows everything.
It’s a house that knows exactly what to keep for itself.
