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.

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.
