Cell Housing
Cell Housing
- Systemic changes
From the existing housing shortage in Brazil, more than 1.2 million families in precarious situation only in Sao Paulo, the proposed project thinks beyond meeting the 200 houses requested for the land of the previous Wilton Paes de Almeida Building, create a design solution that enables deployment in other areas and contexts, as well as flexibility for expansion. Thus, based on the Japanese architectural metabolism, the tower is verticalized from the fitting of cylindrical modules that form the housing units, which in turn shape the geometry of the building. As a living, ever-changing organism, the tower becomes dynamic reflecting the changing movements of people in the building and in the city.
As a starting point the contemporary ways of living, each apartment has at least 3 modules, with only one bedroom. Within the 33 floors, 14 floors have fixed apartments in this way and the another 15 floors have units that allow the addition of 3 more modules, totaling 6 modules.
