Prefabricated Timber Slab
The project was realized in two stages. The ”frame” construction was first designed and built by the developer, then came the ”infill” phase with habitants building their homes as Do-ItYourself –projects. The opportunity for the users to manipulate their surroundings, creating spaces that are functional for the individual’s needs are essential qualities that could be extracted from this case study.

Each flat includes at least one bathroom module, which allows for different kitchen layouts. All elements can be produced off site and introduced within the space at later dates, maximising variation and the ability for continuous change over the years.

Artificial Beach Housing Integration In the past fifty years, Benidorm has become the key holiday destination for many holidaymakers around Europe, especially the British. The combination of sun, sand and cheap vacation packages has created the ideal situation for tourists in search for an affordable holiday, often wrapped up in an all-inclusive package. As a consequence, Benidorm nowadays acts as a host for two distinct cultural identities, the permanent and temporary residents that, despite their differences and almost no interaction, up to the present day manage to co-exist efficiently. Can the introduction of more points of interaction strengthen existing and introduce new relationships between communities, appealing to both extremities on what the city has to offer?
1300s
The beachfront is one of the few locations in Benidorm which are used by both permanent and transient residents, providing an ideal opportunity to develop a project that supports and intensifies the cultural collision. However, as the city, and the beachfront in particular, is used almost up to its capacity in terms of building, ways of providing additional housing units or temporary accommodation will soon need to be reinvented. The project therefore seeks to explore the occupation and reuse of the abandoned urban pockets, suffocated between gated developments, as a prosperous path for the re-densification of Benidorm. While unifying segregated communities within Benidorm will become the primary objective of the proposal, the design approach will focus upon flexible elements that can interrogate and form a language common to both communities. The project will supply flexible social housing for the permanent residents of Benidorm and provide additional services for the city. The vision is to reimagine the notion of home as a multi-use space that transforms throughout the day, from a living space to a commercial unit. Clusters of units can therefore in certain times imitate the market atmosphere attracting tourist and locals to participate within the voids of an otherwise gated city block.
1780s
The project will physically connect with the surrounding apartment buildings creating an opportunity for social and commercial exchange in between existing and new residents of the block. The scheme will consist of several levels, the populated horizontal circulation will discover the vertical dispersion, encouraging engagement and privacy simultaneously. The circulation between programs will allow the permanent residents of Benidorm to inhabit the linkage slots and to transform part of their living spaces into micro markets, restaurants, offices, bars, and entertainment when needed. During the winter months, the inhabitants can adapt their flats to other functions more appealing to the growing elderly community or other locals from the Old Town. In the near future, the limited capacity to build in Benidorm will inevitably force the neglected void spaces to be given a definition. In an attempt to address this issue now, the project expands on the possibilities to interrogate these forgotten spaces as an area of opportunity for social integration. If successful, this strategy could be implemented on other sites with similar conditions as a new way of building in Benidorm.

8.9 MILLION TOURISTS 7,740 MILLION GBP Throughout the year approximately half of Benidorm’s tourists are Spanish, of the overseas tourists approximately 75% are British and the remaining predominantly from other parts of Northern Europe. The proposed touristic destination is still a huge success, where due to its massive hotel offer and good connections through Alicante airport attract millions of tourists every year.
Professional Analysis
The housing scheme will socially, culturally, and economically impact Benidorm, creating a multi-use space that could engage the temporary tourist with local traditions, breaking the barrier of all-inclusive alternatives.
