Habitat 67 is a housing complex and landmark located on the Marc-Drouin Quay on the Saint Lawrence River in Montreal, Canada. Its design was created by architect Moshe Safdie. It was designed to integrate the variety and diversity of scattered private homes with the economics and density of a modern apartment buildin. Modular, interlocking concrete forms define the space.The project was designed to create affordable housing with close but private quarters, each equipped with a garden. The building was believed to illustrate the new lifestyle people would live in increasingly crowded cities around the world.
The complex was originally meant to be vastly larger. Ironically, due to its architectural cachet, demand for the building’s units have made them expensive rather than “affordable” as originally envisioned.
