Barcelona Social Housing by Cierto Estudio Features Non-Defined Rooms to Challenge Gender Roles

Summary

Cierto Estudio has completed La Comunidad Habitacional, a social housing block in Barcelona's 22@ urban renewal area featuring 51 apartments with deliberately non-defined rooms. The design challenges traditional gender roles by creating flexible spaces without predetermined functions, using a bold red and pastel green color palette. The project aims to promote more equitable domestic arrangements and reduce gender-based spatial divisions in household tasks.
