The Sibarist

Light, terraces, and architecture in an iconic building

Description

In one of Madrid’s most iconic buildings, this property is conceived as a contemporary piece where architecture is shaped around light and its corner position.

A project that understands space as something alive, in constant dialogue with the outside.

Located in one of the most singular gems of Madrid architecture: the building designed in the 1970s by Fernando Higueras and Antonio Miró, two of the most visionary architects of their time.

Conceived as an urban refuge, this brutalist masterpiece breaks with convention by fusing concrete with lush vegetation, creating a unique microclimate in the heart of Madrid.

The corner position defines the home: every room, without exception, opens onto the terraces, including the most private areas. This continuous relationship with the outdoors blurs traditional boundaries and allows light to travel through the home throughout the day, creating a unique atmosphere at every moment.

The renovation proposes spacious, connected interiors where fluidity is the common thread. There are no abrupt separations, only gentle transitions that support a contemporary, open, and dynamic way of living.

The building, recognized for its character and presence within the city, also includes on-site parking, an added value that enhances comfort in a privileged urban setting.

Construction is already underway and is currently at an advanced stage. Completion and handover are expected approximately in May 2026.

24-hour security, garage parking space.

Layout:

Upon entering, a reception hall introduces the property with balance and proportion, leading into the daytime living area, where the living room and dining room are integrated into a single open-plan space.

This area extends outdoors through a terrace conceived as a natural extension of the interior living space, enhancing the sense of openness and connection to light.

Strategically positioned, the kitchen is designed as a functional yet discreet element, complemented by a generous service area. Within this section, the laundry room is planned independently, with direct access to an outdoor terrace, ensuring order and autonomy in everyday use.

The most private area of the home is arranged independently and comprises three bedrooms. All of them share an exceptional quality: direct access to a third terrace, allowing light and the outdoors to become part of the home’s most intimate experience.

A layout shaped by continuity, light, and a constant relationship with the exterior, creating a contemporary, open and deeply livable home.

5 Stars

This neighborhood is bordered by Princesa, Gran Vía, Fuencarral, Carranza, and Alberto Aguilera streets. Widely known as one of Madrid’s trendiest neighborhoods, Malasaña is famous for its bars, vintage shops, bookstores, restaurants offering cuisines from all over the world, street markets, and history — all of which define a district with so much to offer. It was, above all, the icon of Spain’s legendary Movida Madrileña in the 1970s and 1980s, with bars such as El Penta and Vía Láctea preserving a large part of the contemporary history of beautiful Malasaña. Historically, the neighborhood also represents Madrid’s resistance to the French occupation, through figures such as Manuela Malasaña — after whom the area is named — as well as Daoíz and Velarde, and emblematic landmarks such as Dos de Mayo Square.

Its dual south- and west-facing orientation allows for the best natural light throughout the day.

This building is an icon of Madrid architecture. It is not merely a place to live, but an architectural manifesto. Fernando Higueras and Antonio Miró envisioned a way of living that broke with convention, where the exposed concrete structure merges with vegetation in a perfect dialogue between brutalism and bioclimatic design. Its design, far ahead of its time, responded to a visionary philosophy: to create an ecosystem within the city, where cantilevers and vertical gardens generate privacy, coolness, and well-being. A living architecture that defies the passage of time and remains a benchmark for those seeking a different way of inhabiting space — more sensory, more connected to the essence of place. An opportunity to acquire a newly renovated property finished to the highest standards, with a garden, garage parking space, and 24-hour concierge service, in one of the most emblematic buildings of brutalist architecture.

High-quality full renovation that redistributes and optimizes the space, featuring a contemporary design that eliminates architectural barriers wherever possible in order to create flow and bring natural light into the different rooms. Thermal and acoustic insulation, concealed climate control, a fully equipped kitchen with high-end appliances, an independent laundry area, two terraces, a garden, garage parking space, and 24-hour concierge service.

The Malasaña–Universidad neighborhood is always a sound choice, thanks to its consistently high and well-established demand, as well as the investment made in recent years in the improvement and renovation of façades, streets, and squares. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly distinctive property, surrounded by history and offering strong investment potential, further enhanced by the new real estate momentum around Plaza de España — one of the capital’s key development hubs, set to drive appreciation across the entire area.
