OUR SHELVES HOUSES is a unique collective housing project that results in a block with 8 duplex dwellings with staggered rooms, which share a common access area and two vertical communication cores. All the dwellings have a private outdoor space, a garden in the case of the lower dwellings and a large terrace in the upper dwellings. In addition, the project offers unique features that allow each cooperative member to customize and make their own home.
The houses are treated as suits tailored to the needs of each family resulting in unique homes. The wooden structure is «sociabilized» by becoming elements of sun protection, view and privacy control, integrated furniture, etc. The staggering of the floors improves communication between rooms and visual connections with terraces and gardens. Making the homes a reflection of the families’ awareness of the sustainable world they live in.
