The Casa Sal apartment in the Poble Sec district of the city is only three metres wide and 19 metres long.
Nook Architects covered the kitchen, bathroom and study with patterned ceramics to divide up the space visually. They then used wooden flooring for a softer look and feel in the rest of the home.

The campaign by the Spanish tax authorities to find all newly built structures, alterations or changes of use of properties which have not been declared to the Land Registry is starting to show results.
The first phase of Hacienda’s plan has covered 486,000 properties in 29 municipalities in Malaga province so far, especially Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Mijas, Vélez, Antequera, Alhaurín de la Torre, Cártama and Alhaurín el Grande.
Inspections have revealed 30,113 buildings (6.2 per cent of the total) which had previously been invisible to the authorities for tax purposes because neither their owners nor the respective town halls had declared them, irrespective of whether or not they had works licences and the necessary certificate of occupancy.

This Spanish home is a sophisticated attic space, designed by architect Luis Velasco Roldán, looking out over a rich expanse of village greenery, which is continued into the dwelling in the form of small inner courtyards, patio and greenhouse, to promote connection between interior and exterior spaces. The dwelling, based in Selva (Mallorca) has a minimalist décor that is brought to life with the abundance of plants and shrubs that give an injection of color and softens the hard edges of the modern construction.

Three years after the Junta de Andalucía’s planning decree 2/2012 came into force, only half of the municipalities in the province of Málaga have actually made any progress in their part of the process. The decree, an attempt to bring some sort of order to the maze of illegal construction in rural areas, required local authorities to draw up an 
inventory of structures on land classified as ‘no urbanizable’ or to hand in a declaration stating that there were none.
Few town halls in the province have done this, an essential step before the properties can be named as Asimilado a Fuera de Ordenación (AFO). This status in any case has been declared as unacceptable by many home owners as it merely allows the properties to remain standing without making them fully legal.

From the architects: Located in Marbella (Málaga), on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, the Jellyfish House's neighbouring buildings block its view onto the nearby sea. Appropriately, it was chosen to cantilever the house's pool from its roof, so that the beach and sea can always be seen while sunbathing or swimming.
