This project provided worker housing in Villa Verde, Chile following a severe 2010 earthquake. The architect Alejandra Aravena designed the homes using an incremental construction approach. Residents were provided an initial base build home that could be expanded over time as funds allowed. The base build comprised a kitchen/living area, bathroom and two bedrooms on the ground and first floors. An open space next to each home allowed for future expansion. This approach aimed to provide better quality initial shelters that could grow with residents' means, rather than building incomplete small homes.
