“Good architecture is only architecture, but good collective housing is what makes cities.”
Enrique Criani

Collective housing has always been in constant transformation, generational transitions, uses, customs and ways of living alter our spaces day by day, and so the arrival of the pandemic was no exception to reconfigure them again. In this way, the SVR Buildings emerge, which, rather than being just architecture, are a housing strategy that seeks to meet the needs of today's nomadic life.

The model is based on generating a replicable prototype that meets the requirements of temporary stays but with the flexibility to adapt to any user. For this reason, we decided to return to the basic principles and allow the structure to be the guiding axis to generate a series of buildings that keep their core but contain interchangeable parts or materials depending on the conditions of each place. In this way, we manage to make all resources efficient to the maximum, from construction to maintenance, and we focus on the quality required by housing and its multiplicity of uses.

On the other hand, the choice of the location of each building responds to strategic points in the city with development potential. Where users can have mobility alternatives and current inhabitants have greater economic growth given the new flows that this strategy will generate so that, as Cirani says, we can become a city.
