Published on Leave a comment on More signs of recovery in Spanish property market

The Spanish residential property market is showing further signs of recovery with the latest national figures showing that completed sales in February were higher than 2014 Spanish HOme 300x225 - More signs of recovery in Spanish property marketand 2012.

But the data from the National Institute of Statistics also shows that sales were lower than 2013. However this was when tax breaks for buyers inflated registered sales.

Year on year, the market has increased 14% as a whole, but by 53% in the resale market, a substantial increase by any standards. But sales of new builds are not doing well, down 30% compared to the same month last year.

There is also considerable regional variation. For example, the growth in homes sales in coastal areas that attract foreign buyers has been generally above the national average, as foreign demand is boosting sales in most of those areas.

This white residence - La Moraleja - by Otto Medem Arquitectura is located in Alcobendas, Madrid. The building concept revolved around its particular site, where the ground is home to many century-old oak trees and, like the foliage, which encircle the house, the internal space revolves around a central, open air courtyard, where a single oak tree stands against the contemporary structure.

Published on 1 Comment on Four-bedroom house in Spain ‘sold’ in €10 raffle

This four-bedroom house in rural Valencia was given to its newest owner after winning a raffle.

House raffled in Valencia - Four-bedroom house in Spain 'sold' in €10 raffleWhen the previous owners, the Bolumar family, first wanted to sell the house they had inherited two years ago in Segorbe, a town of 9,300, they tried to do it the traditional way, listing it for €90,000. But the struggling Spanish housing market yielded few potential buyers.

The family began considering other ways to sell. Most ideas were dismissed quickly, save one. “Raffling it off seemed interesting – people would have the chance to acquire a home for a low cost and we would still end up covering the cost,” Bolumar said.

From there began a year-long project, with the family wrestling their way through seemingly endless amounts of red tape to obtain authorisation from the country’s tax authorities to be the first in Spain to raffle off a house.

The €10 tickets, sold from a kiosk in Valencia as well as online, offered the chance to win the 141 sq metre home, no strings attached.

Published on 2 Comments on Crossed House: Dwelling in La Alcayna, Murcia

From the architect. On a site in the higher part of a residential zone in the environs of Murcia is located the singular, crossed house with views to the adjacent mountains, the “Sierra de la Pila” and “Valle del Ricote”. From the ambiguity, being on a site of a future densely built-up area and at the same time enjoying today’s unsurpassable views, was born the idea of the project: to orientate the lower level of the house to the garden’s intimacy and grant to the user at the superior level the delight of its views considering future edification and the influence of solar radiation.

On a parcel in the hills outside Barcelona, RTA-Office designed House and Studio YC with two objectives in mind. The first was to preserve as many of the site’s trees as possible, allowing them to grow around any new construction. The second was simply to generate variety. ‘Variety of view; variety of colour; variety of light,’ says RTA-Office’s Simona Assiero Brá. ‘That is the main focus of the house, to capture segments of natural light and accentuate their changes throughout the day and year depending on the season and weather.’
