Spanish practice XPIRAL shared with us this nice urban residence in a very narrow site in Murcia, Spain. With a very tight budget, they decided to built a structure house attached to the party walls that creates a central courtyard facing west to the neighbors.

By what!? Plastic materials instead of green grass? My impression is that building was built in a very dangerous environment (see street facade).

Fun house,
but the interior finishing is really kinda ‘basic’ in a bad way.

I liked a lot the exterior, but agree with JDR about the interior (un)finishing…

It’s incredible what they did here, quite detailed and seems comfy for being a small house.
