The Homes That Can Expand - Quinta Monroy by Elemental

The Quinta Monroy social housing project in Iquique, Chile, emerged from a history of illegal occupation by 97 families over 30 years, leading to disorderly settlements and neighbor complaints.
Coordinated by Elemental, a government initiative began in 2003 with a $10,000 budget per household. Residents were temporarily relocated as 93 modular apartments were built, emphasizing dense and expandable units. Initial homes covered 35 square meters, expandable to 72 square meters vertically and horizontally. The project aimed to settle families on-site rather than displacing them to the outskirts.

This is absolutely genius. Well done, Elemental!

I've been thinking just about this, that it ought to be possible to build a modular kind of house with room for some expansion.
