84 dwellings part of the Opengela programme in Otxarkoaga are being extended with terraces

• The dwellings on Txotena Street (three doorways) and Irumineta Street (four doorways) feature 12 m² terraces, thereby increasing their usable space by 30%.

A total of 84 dwellings in the Otxarkoaga neighbourhood of Bilbao have been extended with new terraces as part of the Opengela urban regeneration programme. The project, carried out by Bilbao Municipal Housing, aims to improve the liveability of small flats through innovative refurbishment solutions.

The buildings involved are located on Txotena Street (three doorways) and Irumineta Street (four doorways). The new terraces, measuring approximately 12 square metres, represent an increase of around 30% in the usable space of each flat. This work forms part of the Orain Otxar regeneration project, run by Opengela.

The project has received funding from the European Union through the Next Generation EU funds, as part of the Spanish Government’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, as well as contributions from the Basque Government and Bilbao City Council.
