More than ‘flats’, we design living spaces, we value everyday life and experiences, we think about each person’s emotions and ways of living. We are all different, with our own rhythms and distinct dynamics, and this is reflected in the interior space.

H.E.R.A. is the result of a commutative process between need and will, which unequivocally seeks to claim a contemporary and (r)evolution of the way we live.

The collective housing building, H.E.R.A, is defined as a symbiotic body that absorbs the stimulus of living in a rural context into an urban circumstance.

H.E.R.A. is a ‘manifesto’ for what we believe to be a new paradigm of urban living. It claims within itself the assumptions that we defend, develop and incorporate into our architectural studies and developments.

We are interested in understanding the evolution of cities, their necessary expansion and growth, the areas of conflict between the rural and urban border, the fractures resulting from unthinking occupation of the land or, in turn, its non-occupation. The collective housing building, H.E.R.A, is defined as a symbiotic body that absorbs the impulses of living in a rural context in an urban setting.
