Cirerers

The Cirerers housing project, located in the Roquetes neighborhood of Barcelona, Spain, is a cooperative housing initiative developed by Sostre Cívic. The project is built on a municipal lot ceded by the Barcelona City Council in 2017 and features an eight-story building with 32 homes and various community spaces. Key aspects of the project include: - **Community spaces**: The building includes a library, collective storage, bicycle parking, community kitchen, multipurpose space, tool room, garden, and rooftop. - **Sustainable materials**: The project primarily uses wood, lime mortar, and gypsum boards, which are biodegradable and have a low ecological footprint. - **Innovative construction**: Cirerers is the tallest wooden building in the state, with eight stories, showcasing the commitment to social and environmental innovation. - **Cooperative model**: The project is based on self-management and assembly operations, fostering cooperation and mutual aid among residents. - **Intercooperation**: The project involves various entities, including La Constructiva, Celobert, Arç, Matriu, Col·lectiu Ronda, Gestió Integral, and Fiare Banca Ètica, contributing to a social and solidary economy. Currently, Cirerers is fully occupied, with no vacancies available. The primary criterion for transferring the right to use a home is the order of seniority within Sostre Cívic.
