Text description provided by the architects. Cohousing arises from the desire
of three families to build a collaborative home where they can share the
synergies that arise from similar life philosophies. A common understanding
of the relationship between private and public spaces, along with the
economic and social benefits of sharing these spaces, forms the foundation
of this collaborative housing project.

homes - The configuration of the homes is determined by the limited size of
the plot and the desire to maximize green areas and communal spaces.

To achieve this, efforts were made to minimize the ground floor's surface
area and extend the garden to the basement. The three residences are
grouped around a shared connecting space, the patio, creating a sheltered

environment. Life revolves around this patio: circulation, communal areas,
and a pool. As a result, three spacious yet compact homes are created,

Sustainability. The building takes advantage of the benefits of the


Mediterranean climate and operates with minimal energy consumption.
Both passive strategies (controlled orientation, thermal inertia, cross and
induced ventilation, natural lighting, underground architecture, sealing,
exterior vegetation) and active strategies (photovoltaic solar capture, gray
water recovery, remote control sun protection) have been considered.

Construction. In the design process, substantial emphasis was placed on


economic and constructive analysis. Construction systems were proposed
and developed to simplify the process by reducing layers: the structure
incorporates insulation and serves as flooring, ceiling, and walls. Joineries
and furnishings complete the construction, defining the interior space with
quality. This construction approach allowed for a considerable reduction in
time and costs.

These types of projects carry a certain social responsibility, where high-


quality residences coexist with spaces for joint activities, shaped by
residents according to their needs. This fosters socialization and cooperation
among inhabitants, placing people at the forefront.
