Project promotes alternative and affordable housing model amid soaring housing costs.

The first feminist housing cooperative in Catalonia was just inaugurated in Barcelona's Nou Barris district, a milestone for alternative housing models.

Designed by the cooperative architecture studio Lacol, the spaces are meant to be open, safe, and communal, meeting needs that are not met in traditional housing.

"It's more than a home, it's the creation of an alternative lifestyle, far from the patriarchal model," says resident Sílvia Merino.
