ALBUQUERQUE: Six visions of the future of seniors housing are currently on display.
All the housing types are currently under construction.
Dutch construction company Heijmans has started manufacturing temporary two-story homes that can be erected in a day. Described by the company as “a beautiful and complete home that is placed temporarily in empty urban areas” the homes are aimed at single young professionals and urban seniors. The prefabricated buildings have all “the necessary facilities, such as a kitchen, bathroom, large living room with an open space, a separate bedroom and its own front door with an outside patio”.
The designers believe that placing prefabricated houses on empty sites will solve two problems – “a shortage of good temporary rental houses and the dreary sight of empty areas”…
