Inside Casa Bilbo, Madrid.

In Madrid, Casa Bilbo unfolds as an extension of architect Bilbo García-Conde’s personal universe. Originally commissioned by Architectural Digest Spain, Daniel Schäfer documented the architect’s home, a transformed brick building where architecture, colour, memory and references to space-age culture merge into a highly personal domestic landscape.

Known for an architectural language moving between experimentation, playfulness and personal narrative, Bilbo García-Conde conceived the house as both refuge and manifesto: a place where everyday life and architectural thinking become inseparable. Casa Bilbo operates as a layered environment where objects, colours, materials and references coexist within a spatial language oscillating between industrial rawness and domestic intimacy.

The photographic series developed by Daniel Schäfer Studio moves through interiors, architectural details, materials and fragments of daily life, tracing the relationship between personal identity and built space. Rather than simply documenting a private residence, the images construct a visual narrative positioned between editorial documentation and atmospheric interpretation, exploring the relationship between architecture, memory and inhabitation. The house gradually appears less as a fixed architectural object and more as a lived environment where narratives, forms and references continuously overlap.
