It’s a social exchange system whereby people who have extra room on their property and people who need a temporary living space get in contact through a website.

 

They go inside this rooms through building’s facades by a stacker crane, equipment used in industry for automatic storage of materials.

 

The concept of traditional horizontal public space is modified, now you are able to find a laundry on the sixth floor or a meeting room on the third floor while you go for a walk on different levels.
 
We “place” our door where we need it and the system begins to work.

 

The time of occupation of these areas will be established between landlord and tenant. Hours or years?

 

This system goes for the reuse of existing infrastructure in the neighborhoods and sustainable development claims against the uncontrolled growth of cities.
