Houses on the roofs as the solution of the lack of construction land problem in Spain

The lack of land for construction is a serious problem in the large cities and resort areas in Spain. According to Idealista, the government got interested in the idea of the Danish architect Sigurd Larsen as a possible solution of the problem. His idea is to build wooden units using a modular system installed on the rooftop of already existing apartment buildings. According to the author of the project, that housing will be an affordable option for single occupants and couples. Thanks to the modular system, occupants will be able to add more bedrooms and bathrooms if needed in the future.

The Larsen’s project also includes green areas as well sports grounds and other recreation areas. These wooden units can be installed on the roofs of any buildings.

The project of the Danish architect has already been approved by the German government. New housing will be built on one of the Berlin’s apartment buildings.
