The project
Article 47 of the Constitution stipulates the right to decent housing. Nonetheless, this right is subjected to the law of supply and demand, which sets market prices. These prices, which have been seriously affected by pressure from tourism, causing an average rise of 22% in rental costs per year. As a result, the Balearic Islands have the lowest housing accessibility index all over Spain, that is, the relationship between mean purchasing power and the theoretical cost of a home.
In terms of the supply and demand of publicly-subsidised housing, the Balearic Island Housing Institute (IBAVI) manages a fleet of 1,745 homes, 34 of which are currently available and in the process of being awarded. However, the demand for housing is on the upswing.
For this reason, IBAVI is presenting this project, whose objective is to promote and build a group of 19 publicly-subsidised homes on a plot of land at number 15 Calle Xarxh on Ibiza so that they can later be awarded as publicly-subsidised rental housing. This aims to palliate the collateral effects of tourism, which hinders residents’ access to housing.
It is an adapted design that meets all the environmental demands and is characterised by volumetrics made up of large projections and recesses to interact with the sun and the sea breezes. All the homes have two façades and cross-ventilation, as well as open car parks on the ground floor and storage rooms.
Also worth noting is the fact that all the housing developed by IBAVI are energy-efficient in order to meet the European Energy Strategy’s objective of 20-20-20, which in Spain is currently equivalent to energy qualification A for residential buildings, with consumption under 15 kWh/m2/year.
