Coupling LTRC and Co-operative mixed housing

Our hypothesis is to demonstrate how LTRC’s spatial configurations and its programmatic diversity can work as an ecology of functions. The addition of programs for local food production, not-for-profit co-operative housing, as well as public spaces and services, could produce an environment of living integrating LTRCs activities at the heart of the new concept. Seen as transitory spaces for the end-of-life, LTRC’s program can become an environment that embraces the rituals associated with both daily life activities and finality with more collective meaning.

We are proposing a mixed co-operative model where volunteers benefit from social advantages, housing, and permanent living quarters in exchange for community involvement and the provision of daily tasks to reduce employees’ workload. The purpose of our project is to support the scarcity of personnel in LTRCs by providing them with better work conditions and addressing Montreal’s housing shortage.
