This is an interview with a Spanish architect:
En este mismo sentido, la casa fue un encargo, casual como todos, de un cliente que creía que podía construir una segunda Pitch House en su propio pueblo. Pero despúes de revisar las normativas locales, descubrimos que solo era posible construir 25 m2 de bodegas.
IS that the total surface area on a given level?
Thanks

Literally.

It simply refers to the "basement" surface...
The floor of a building which is partly or entirely below ground level.

And of course 5 x 5 meters is a small basement area if it has to be habitable. I.e., you could have a pool table in such area, but it will be relatively tight. For a pantry probably would be big enough... :-)

Like you say, Wendy, for what I read, it seems that the architect has a constraint of 25m2 to build a house. I don't believe it's a cellar or a storage room, as the name of this project, which I believe is not yet built, is "Revolutionary House". I'm not sure what he means by "bodegas", it could just mean "surface" or perhaps "container" (as it seems to be a prefabricated house).
I'd just say "...we found out that there was a 25m2 constraint...", o sth along those lines. I wouldn't risk saying "container" without being sure.
This is one of the links I found:
https://archkiosk.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/reconfiguration-p...
The Revolutionary House project, an operable building that can fold up into a 5 x 5 x 5 meter cube, is still in R&D, but if successful will be an exciting addition into the contemporary discussion on prefabrication.
HTH!

The Phone Bloks system proved to be a surprisingly apt analogy for a couple of Carnicero’s projects- Hangar 16, and the Revolutionary House.
Maybe, you could say "bloks".

: Important context. The bodegas are probably just sheds/agricultural buildings/granaries or similar. Same project: https://bit.ly/2JTHZ5O "The site is [...] an agricultural zone, where only small constructions [...] are allowed to be built".

Excellent link, Thomas! I'll copy it in the discussion entry. Thanks!

The bodegas are probably just sheds/agricultural buildings/granaries or similar. I'd probably keep it vague – maybe 'structures' or something similar.
