The INFONAVIT Housing Research and Practical Experimentation Laboratory project consists of the design and development of prototype houses to deepen the analysis of social housing.
In this exercise, we have been in charge of working on the housing prototype for Ocoyoacac. The design is based on the premise that housing is essential for daily well-being and that its effectiveness is found in interacting with the urban, natural, and social environment.
Therefore, these spaces must function as units for family coexistence, sharing areas, and contributing to social cohesion and public space. Housing design focuses on activities that become individual entities. These main activities or spaces are the living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, organized around a common space representing future growth.
In addition, a set of exterior patios is established, some of which encourage interaction between adjacent homes, generating four different modules depending on the arrangement of these elements. This scheme defines the main features and will enable users to expand their homes according to their daily needs.
At the urban level, the project presents a set of domestic and urban activities in each home that are intertwined and connected to foster a dynamic community and promote the social development of families.
