Zero Flat is a new typology of apartment for chronically homeless persons with difficulties adapting to any other housing resource due to the high degree of their social exclusion. It is a low-demand apartment intended for persons with difficulty accepting the common, basic cohabitation rules of most homeless shelters.

Best design project of the year, ADI Culture Awards (ADI-FAD), 2018. Selected and presented for the 48h Open House Barcelona, a member of Open House Worldwide (2017, 2018).
