Landscaped terraces, private swimming pools and fireplaces. For those who know what to draw a residential building means, it may seems quite impossible to achieve such a luxury for all those 10 homes sheltered by the building. But, architects from Spanish studio Abaton aren’t afraid of experiencing original structures in various geometrical combinations. Spotted on their website, abaton.es, Almanzora is one of the most interesting projects I have ever seen. The team working on the project designed one single circular building with a concrete structural façade that emerges from the basement and breaks up as the building rises. “The project breaks with the standard urban development model in the area, with its abusive number of terraced houses. A milestone has been created in the domain of low density resident buildings, very green, with landscaped rooftops”, architects explained on their website.
