ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
The open design of the ground floor also encourages the neighbourhood community with a direct connection to the street .
Underfloor heating and tiles : An energy-efficient modern pairing
With its focus on energy efficiency , barrier-free design , and aesthetic design , the building owners have opted for a combination of underfloor heating and thermally conductive tiles in large parts of the interior . This contributes 100 % to the energy efficiency of the house because , compared to parquet or other flooring , tiles allow heat to be transferred into the room more quickly and efficiently . The duo is easy to install , sustainable to use , and unbeatably efficient in terms of durability . In summer , the tiles are nice and cool , and they are particularly welcome and often used in warm countries such as Spain . With the modern natural material tile , the architects have created a cozy and healthy room atmosphere for residents of all ages in their showcase project .
Consistent room design with slip resistance Accessibility is a major theme in the Kin Family Housing , and a prerequisite for the architectural landscape of Ignacio G Galán and OF Architects , who want to promote inclusion and participation for all residents , both inside and out . While new buildings in the area tend to relegate the majority of social life to their rear-facing terraces , they encourage the formation of communities and social connections with an inner courtyard , among other things . The open design of the ground floor also encourages the neighbourhood community with a direct connection to the street . A short ramp leads from street level to the entrance . Inside the house follows a seamless sequence of spaces that cater to all needs , from toddlers to seniors , which can be explored and lived in comfortably and safely on each of its three floors in varying degrees of autonomy and community . A series of cascading gardens surround the house and offer outdoor seating alongside a small pool . A roof terrace offers additional space for gardening .

The conscious use of modern tile design has broken down architectural barriers and ensured unrestricted mobility in the home . The architects considered tiles here as an integral part of inclusive residential architecture , which is becoming increasingly important as a concept for the future . The open and flexible floor plans , and not least the ceramic façade , have created a house that can adapt flexibly to the changing needs and lifestyles of its residents today and in the future .
