Many families find that when they decide to grow, it's also time for them to find a bigger house, leaving a couple house hunting and contemplating a big move while their next addition is already on the way. One couple in Madrid, who already had 3-year-old twins, found a better solution. The home featured here is a beautiful renovation from visualizer Mario Mimoso that combines the couple's current two-bedroom house with the symmetrical house next door that happened to go up for sale before the couple's third child was due. The result is 175 square meter (1883 square feet) house with plenty of room for a family of five and unified, modern design.
