Best social housing community design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best social housing community design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
Located in Gavà, near Barcelona, Social Housing 1737 represents an effective response to contemporary housing issues, combining inclusion, sharing, and sustainability, promoting biological continuity between the Serra de les Ferreres area and the Llobregat Agricultural Park. All the rooms of the 136 apartments that make up the project overlook the landscape, but at the same time enclose a central atrium, similar to a large cloister, where services and housing circulation are concentrated.
The Global Award winner will be announced next November in London. (Globals)
