Six Publicly Subsidized Rental Apartments in Santa Eugènia, Mallorca

Abstract

This social housing project is a prototype intended to enhance and demonstrate the viability of using local low-carbon materials affordably in simple compressive structures. It is located in Santa Eugènia, a small Mallorcan municipality, where integration into landscape was sought not through architectural form but with updated traditional building techniques and the use of the materials constituting the island and its heritage, with the aim also of helping overcome prejudices linked to social housing.
