CASE STUDY: MODULAR HOUSING (2026)
How to respond to the affordable housing crisis for young professionals? Rethinking scale.
This project explores new ways of living based on an unconventional typology: micro-housing units designed within the dimensions of a shipping container. Located steps from the Sagrado Corazón Urban Train station, the proposal converts an industrial structure into a functional, adaptable, and accessible space.
The development includes two alternative typologies that incorporate a commercial component on the ground floor, connecting with the modular housing.
What do you think of this type of modular typology for the city?
