Luxury + Basic Human Rights In Social Housing

Statement |

When starting this social housing project two questions came to mind; What is luxury? And What is a basic human right? In Mexico, luxuries and human rights can be defined very differently as compared to luxuries and basic human rights in the United States. The goal is to place a social housing community in a well-established neighborhood so those who live in the community will have access to the same opportunities as those who already live there. Roma Norte is a historically well-established neighborhood that would provide opportunities for growth and hope for a new future. These social housing communities will all have the same DNA make up having a kitchen, lounge, recreational center and technology lab. This social housing community caters to different size families allowing space for multi-generational, nuclear and single-family households. Allowing the residents, the luxury of choice as well as providing the basic human rights of access to a better life.
