Designed by Bouman Arquitectura, Boratuna House is a residence that draws inspiration from traditional Catalan architecture, particularly the masia—a rural farmhouse style deeply rooted in the region’s history. The goal of the project was to create a home that feels as though it has always been part of the landscape while providing modern comfort and efficiency.
Nestled in the heart of Avilés, the Tourist Apartment by David Olmos Arquitectos showcases how architectural heritage seamlessly merges with contemporary design. Situated on Calle Galiana in a building dating back to 1895, this 60-square-meter gem reimagines space to provide a tranquil urban retreat.
The current construction market often delivers “one-size-fits-all” solutions, producing uniform, neutral spaces that cater to broad appeal. Yet many people crave a unique, individualized home. TUR House by OOIIO Architecture challenges this trend by demonstrating how anyone can personalize a standard apartment with readily available materials, even when working within a limited budget.
Nestled in the heart of Valencia, Curved Attic by Destudio Arquitectura takes full advantage of its circular envelope to showcase sweeping views over the historic Turia riverbed. The home’s curved façade inspired the project’s name, as well as its central design concept.
Nestled on C/Vinya in the old town of Artà, this multi-family building comprises two housing units. It stands on the site of a century-old construction, where the architects carried out a thorough study before deciding which parts could be salvaged. Their focus was on reuse—a strategy to minimize waste, preserve cultural heritage, and give new life to original materials.
Szoke House stands on the southern slopes of Monte Abantos in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, near Madrid. This location is known for its dense pine forests, rugged terrain, and dramatic granite outcroppings.

Loft in Barcelona by Meta Studio aimed to enrich a ground-floor apartment with as much natural light and ventilation as possible. The original dwelling featured a long, open layout, relying solely on two courtyards at opposite ends for daylight.
Casa T is a 286.61 m² farmhouse in Menorca. The local architecture studio, Gabriel Montañés, turned an abandoned building into a modern home that still honors the island’s heritage. This revival features natural materials such as wood, marés sandstone, and limestone cladding. By mixing old and new elements, the project respects Menorca’s traditional style while meeting modern needs.
