4. Habitat groupé Bolette by LRARCHITECTES

On a building plot in a small Brabant village, two families are accommodated within two separate houses and one unifying volume. The surrounding rural architecture inspires the house concept by LRARCHITECTES in terms of volume and materiality. A slight fold in the two longitudinal facades offers a subtle distinction between the two houses from the outside.

5. HOUSE BSP20 by Raul Sanchez Architects 

Raul Sanchez Architects stripped a 19th-century property in a ruinous state, located in Barcelona’s Borne district, down to its facades, dividing walls, and roof. What was left is a 15-meter-high void revealing a composition of all kinds of bricks and stones arranged without apparent order or composition. Inside this void, Raul Sanchez Architects inserted a modern interior.
