Spanish design practice Sanchis Olivares designs the Brick House, which is a home that is made from white clay bricks and located in the suburban community of Valencia. It features a special food preparation area outside along with an oven specifically for cooking paella.
The practice speaks about the design, stating that "The lack of collective life in the streets of this urban model leads us to a typology that looks inwards, protecting and enclosing the exterior space in search of the user's relationship with it [...] On the east facade there are openings, gaps and a courtyard that allow morning light to enter the rooms, while on the western side there is a flat, opaque facade that seeks shelter from the sun under the surrounding vegetation."
