We are in the process of developing a fiber-based, affordable, co-housing prototype that will both celebrate and re-envision traditional Jamaican spaces. Jamaica has a population of 3 million, with approximately 60 percent of Jamaica’s urban population living in substandard housing. Prime Minister Andrew Holness recently stated that every year, Jamaica has a deficit of 15,000 new housing units.
The aptly titled Breeze Co-Housing Prototype (Breeze House) will feature breezy and open communal interior courtyards, and interior spaces designed as bedrooms and sanctuaries for individuals, allowing for focus, reflection, and study.
