The Cirerers building is a cooperative cohousing initiative led by Sostre Cívic and designed by Celobert, which is already a benchmark for intercooperation with the involvement of numerous agents and organizations with a common denominator: commitment to the city, the community and the environment.

Cirerers is a shared project that uses a model of cooperative housing based on transfer of rights. This formula is a departure from classic ways of accessing housing and aims to combat the dynamics of commodification imposed on the property market.

What sets Cirerers apart from a conventional building, apart from the use of wood as the basis of its construction, is the fact that it has been devised, designed and managed jointly with the people who live in the building. It is a building with eight floors (including the ground floor), 32 apartments and communal spaces, and was built on a site loaned by Barcelona City Council. It commits to offering stability to users, who, if they want, can live there for at least 75 years.

The decision was made to include quality shared spaces, freeing private interiors of functions to make them available to the community. The commitment to community space made it possible to gain 190 m² of buildable land. Small private living spaces have been built (50 m² on average), offset by 771 m² of space for community use.
