La Borda

La Borda is a self-organized housing cooperative project located in Barcelona, Spain. It was developed through a participatory process involving residents, architects, and local organizations. The project aims to provide affordable, sustainable housing while promoting community engagement and social innovation. The cooperative has 28 housing units, with a focus on minimizing environmental impact through the use of sustainable materials and energy-efficient design. Residents have a long-term leasehold agreement with the municipality, ensuring affordable rent prices. The project also includes communal spaces such as a kitchen, multipurpose room, and outdoor terraces, which foster a sense of community and shared responsibility among residents. La Borda serves as a model for democratic and sustainable housing, combating speculation and promoting social transformation.
