La Borda housing cooperative

The La Borda housing cooperative is a self-organised development by its users to gain access to decent, non-speculative housing by means of a collective structure. The initiative was launched in 2012, driven by the community and the cooperative fabric of Barcelona's Sants neighbourhood. The project is based on three main principles:

  • User participation. Self-promotion implies that participation of future users in the process (design, construction and use) is the project’s most important and differenting variable, generating an opportunity to get to know them and plan with them and their specific needs. Imagination, scheduling, project and environmental strategy, typology, materiality and budget workshops have been held.

    2. Environmental sustainability. The aim is to construct the building with the lowest environmental impact, both on site and during its useful life, by reducing the initial demand of all environmental vectors (energy, water, materials and waste), prioritising passive strategies to make the best use of existing resources. This will result in comfort in homes with minimum consumption, eliminating the likelihood of energy poverty.

    4. To redefine the collective housing programme. The programme proposes 28 dwellings (40, 60 and 75 m2) and community spaces that extend living from the private to the public space, enhancing community life. Kitchen-dining room, laundry, multi-purpose space, guest space, health and care space, storage and outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces such as roof terraces. They are all articulated around a central courtyard, a great space for social relations.
