This is a beautiful apartment building in the center of Palma. Brutalist ground floor. Operable wooden slats up the rest of the facade. It feels right at home in this climate. It's also a passive-energy building that uses 90% less energy compared to a "conventional" apartment building. The technical classification is nZEB (or a _nearly_ zero energy building). It's pretty amazing that with only 9 apartments, these kinds of projects pencil here. Perhaps it's no surprise that it's also a [single-stair building](https://brandondonnelly.com/2024/07/08/building-code-change-request/).

The architect is OHLAB. For more information, [here's their website](https://ohlab.net/en/project/paseo-mallorca-15/).
