Building a house for 6 families (10 adults and 8 children) with a low budget is an incredible challenge. This is why we decided to show you the “Candela House”, an amazing looking compact home in Spain, by Zigzag Arquitectura built in a beautiful and remote location, surrounded by mountains. The initial plans for this house wanted to capture the nature of the incredible near-by landscape. Perhaps you can see the resemblance of this building’s exterior to a hollow mountain with many eyes- this was the main idea behind the project’s design. It is said that all rooms have great views and that the large windows act as good intermediaries. A stylish porch is links the interior with the open spaces outside the construction. The materials were all adapted to the requests of the region- for example it was mandatory that the architects used flat concrete tiles for the roof, which had to go with the overall design.- via Designboom

Hmmm… I really wonder what is LOW budget in this case…
Various shape and size windows looks so mysterious when lit at night.
Yes, WHOSE idea of ‘low budget’ are we talking about? I can’t see this costing less than $250-300K!
this may be low budget, but I can’t get rid of the feeling from the picture with the guy from inside the house that the space inside that room is so impersonal, it may be because there is no furniture, yet, but I just couldn’t leave there. this just shows, that doing it fancy isn’t always better…
Kay: Well, $250-300k for a house like this is low budget..
