From CH+QS Arquitectos: Sometimes one can die of success, and this is what was happening to Hub Madrid. Its main function, to be a coworking space for social entrepreneurs began to be seriously compromised by the success of the space for events. So, combining both worlds increasingly became more difficult. Thus it was decided to expand to an available floor on the same building, just above the Hub, and so appears HUBflat, a complement, a support, a bubble of concentration to defend and maintain the essence of the entrepreneurial community. And as in the original Hub, the floor was found intact from the 1950s.

Year on year property sales in Spain have increased for five months in a row, signalling that the residential real estate casas 300x117 - Property market is becoming stable in Spainmarket is becoming more stable.

The latest figures from Spain’s National Institute of Statistics (INE) shows that sales increased by 10% in July on an annual basis and by 9% on a quarterly basis.

The INE doesn’t break down monthly sales figures by nationality, but real estate experts point out that foreign buyers are driving the sales increase. This suggests that there is plenty of scope for further increases when local demand picks up with falling unemployment and easier mortgage lending.

Buying a home in Spain is cheaper than elsewhere in the EU.

apartments for sale in Spain 300x300 - The price of buying a home in SpainAs reported by an annual analysis on Spain’s real estate market conducted by Deloitte, the percentage of income spent by households on mortgage payments - rate of effort - has been steadily falling in recent years and currently stands at 33 per cent, as a result of the decline in house prices registered since the outbreak of the economic crisis.

Moreover, the average home price in Spain is 4.4 times the individual gross salary, compared to many countries in the European Union where prices are 6.1 times the individual gross wage and Britain and France, where the ratio is 8.5 and 7.9 times the individual income.

For the fourth year and compared to the rest of the country, homeowners in Barcelona and Guipuzcoa have had to spend a larger percentage of their income on mortgage payments, given the high price of housing in those provinces.

The public prosecutor has signalled its intention to demand the demolition of 98 homes owned by British citizens in Albox, Almeria, which were built on non urban land and, allegedly, without the mandatory municipal licences.

Albox 300x243 - Courts to request demolition of 98 illegal homes in Albox, AlmeriaThe 98 homes are situated in the El Romeral-La Aljambra area and were constructed between 2004 and 2006 and, according to the courts, “are not legal because they do not comply with current planning laws in Albox”.

Two brothers, known under the initials J.F.A.H. and D.L.A.H., who were developers and builders of the residential complex, under various company names - Proyecto y Construcciones Almanzora SL, Procoal Villas SL and Empire Villas Sl - apparently built the homes on land not zoned for building and without a municipal licence and not only disobeyed an order to cease activity completely but continued to build more properties.

By the architect Roberto Ercilla

The traditional Ibiza (Spain) house is organized by adding rooms, which give an imperfect image with high plasticity.

In house nº 2, the white cubic volumes are articulated among themselves by means of turns, generating interesting residual spaces and cross views.
This arrangement allows a close relationship between interior and exterior through the organic adaptation of the house on the lot, integrating the existing trees.

The house sits opposite the landscape, to the south, with views of the city of Ibiza, and opposite the mountains, to the north, with views of the countryside.
