该项目位于西班牙首都附近的马德里山区，这里拥有极好的景观和自然环境，十分受当地人欢迎。冬天，白雪覆盖山峰；夏天，这里的温度比城市低得多，山里十分凉爽，人们可以睡个好觉。这里拥有丰富的动物群、河流、可以洗澡的天然池塘、人行步道以及多样的旅行路线。马德里山区是马德里人呼吸新鲜空气的好去处，它离市区很近，只需45分钟人们就可以置身自然，享受优质的自然环境。因此，城里人在该地区的小镇建造第二居所,它们到马德里最远需要一个半小时的车程。无论节假日还是周末，很多出身乡村的人都喜欢不时地感受家乡，在这里休息几天或几周，回到没有车水马龙和噪音的高品质生活中。

“Sierra de Madrid” is the name of the mountainous region near the Spanish Capital. For those who do not live in the Spanish capital, is very popular among locals thanks to its great landscape and natural value. In winter its peaks are still covered with snow. In summer you can enjoy a good handful of degrees less than the urban oven suffers, being able to even sleep well at night thanks to the coolness of the mountains. There are varied fauna, rivers and clean natural pools in which bathing is allowed, sidewalks and very pleasant routes. Sierra de Madrid is the most recurrent escape door to breathe fresh air for all Madrilenians, especially since it is very close to the city, in 45 minutes by car you can be in the middle of nature, actually, in the middle of a quality natural environment. It explains then why the existence of multiple second residences, they are very common in that region, dotting all the small towns along a radius of up to an hour and a half of driving distance to Madrid. Both during the holidays and every weekend, the people of Madrid, many of them with rural origins one or two generations above, love to feel “hometown” again from time to time. Come back to live even for a few days or weeks with pause, with quality of life, without traffic, without noise.

该项目位于马德里附近山区的海拔较高处，这里的地面通常是斜坡，建筑师利用后部庭院高于街道入口，创造出了露台空间。这座小镇住宅最初构想为城市家庭的休闲之所，回归本源和乡村生活。之所以强调最初构想，是因为该项目始于新冠前期，完成于新冠爆发的前几个月。突然间，将第二居所作为长期居住地变成了很好的选择。新冠结束后，社会、经济、卫生和城市的变化程度依然未知，但一切均表明，市区附近的乡村住宅已经成为极具吸引力的选择。这些都是宽敞又廉价的房屋，却拥有现代生活的舒适，在城市里，永远不可能以同样的价钱建造这么大的房子。它们按照当代可持续发展的标准建造，不仅邻近市区，而且建在更健康的地方，空间更加宽敞，可以享受高品质的生活。

The land around here is usually always sloping, especially when we are already at a considerable altitude in the mountains, so the BUS House has to adapt to these slopes by forming a terrace with its pleasant backyard higher than the entrance street itself.Casa BUS is a town house, a house in the mountains near Madrid “initially proposed” as a place of recreation and rest for an urban family. A return to the origins, a return to life in the village. It is important to underline the words “initially proposed”: when the project was conceived, the world was enjoying the pre-covid-19 context, and the work was completed a few months before the pandemic broke out.Suddenly the “second residence” has become an excellent option for the family that inhabits it as a habitual residence. The depth of the social, economic, health and urban changes that will come after the end of the covid-19 pandemic are currently (September 2020) unknown, but everything points to the fact that homes in rural areas close to Cities are already becoming a very attractive life option for many. These are spacious and cheap houses (in the city you could never build for the same price on such a large lot), with all the comforts of modern life, perfectly connected, built according to contemporary sustainable standards, in healthier places, more spacious, with a higher quality of life, … And close to large cities. You can telecommute most of the time and go to the city once or twice per week if you want to attend in person to some management or enjoy the cultural offer of the city.
