The Covid-19 pandemic has put the vital importance of domestic space on the forefront, and this double issue of the magazine AV Monographs presents a selection of 24 residences – 12 in Spain, 12 in other countries – designed by internationally prestigious architectural practices, with special emphasis on construction details, material quality, and interior designs. A multipart essay by the editor, Luis Fernández-Galiano, throws light on the timeless character of eight spaces of the home.
