Inclusive housing complex

Through the review of housing policy, the social and territorial exclusion of people with cognitive disabilities in the city is raised as a housing problem. For this reason, a housing complex is proposed that promotes a life with autonomy and the inclusion of this group in the urban environment. This, through the creation of a contained space but that enables dialogue with the outside, the incorporation of work areas and common spaces to carry out more risky tasks.

02. Collective housing:

Pequeño condominio in 9x18 site

Micro-radiation and redensification are proposed in the so-called “9x18 Neighborhoods” as a solution to the problem of settlement and precarious housing conditions that these areas have. The creation of a small condominium capable of housing up to 8 families in the same place is proposed, protecting privacy, green areas and good habitability conditions. In addition, the intervention of the public space immediately around the home is considered due to its urban character.

Type of project: Collective housing.

The second home is designed for an elderly couple with guest rooms and a living room for their grandchildren.
