Madrid-based architects FRPO, founded by Fernando Rodriguez and Pablo Oriol, have created an apartment building in Elcano, a street previously comprising low-rise warehouses and workshops, close to the city centre in Madrid, Spain. The building comprises 13 apartments, with storage rooms, a garden, a swimming pool and 32 underground parking places. It occupies the maximum volume allowed by the regulations, in this case, a floor plan of 22m by 12m with a 14m height.

MORESehw Architektur designs two buildings for use as temporary accommodation for professionals in Berlin
Berlin-based Sehw Architektur's project 'Twins for Modern Job Nomads' in Berlin Schöneweide provides temporary accommodation for 50 professionals on an urban in-fill site. Rather than completely fill the existing gap, a six-storey street-facing building is situated to allow entry to a semi-public courtyard, which then provides access to a 'twin' rear building via a private communal garden.
