Single Family Dwelling in Castellon, by Jaime Sanahuja Asociados
From the architect. Light, volumes, spaces and views. Single-family dwelling with swimming pool, next to a golf course. The orientation and the integration of the pine grove are the starting points. A series of volumes of different materials are created to delimit outer spaces. These volumes structure the house in such a way that the house and its environment constitute a continuum, with a high level of comfort and habitability. Concrete is the main material, and it is articulated with white sections, or with wood finishes. The house closes in inwardly, away from the street, and opens up on the garden side, with views of the tree grove in the golf course, and facing the sea.
Location: Grao, Castellón, Spain.

Spanish Team Wins UN Prize for Plans to Create Solutions for Mass Housing
A project designed by two Spanish architects has won a UN competition to create sustainable solutions for mass urban housing. Recooperation, presented by María García and Gonzalo Navarrete of architectural firm Improvistos is a project to revitalize the run-down Orba neighbourhood in Alfafar, in the southern outskirts of Valencia (Spain), which was built in the 1960s to house the families of workers employed in a nearby timber plant that has since closed, prompting an exodus from the area.
Orba’s housing stock is made up of just two types of low-quality, identical 70- and 90-square-meter apartments in blocks laid out on a grid system, originally designed to house around 6,000 people.
Improvisto’s project is based on the principle of cohousing, an approach that is popular in Scandinavia, where communities consist of private homes with shared facilities, and where residents play an active role in how the community is designed and managed.
