Habitat 67

A pixelated cliff of stacked concrete homes that turned housing density into a sculpture.

Why this matters

  • 354 prefab modules stacked in 12 storeys, each unit with a private terrace
  • Built for Expo 67 as a manifesto for affordable urban density
  • Every apartment gets natural light from at least two sides
  • Prefab assembly cut construction time and cost dramatically

For everyone, a garden — Habitat 67 made the absurd promise visible in concrete.
