The Urban Modules of Sustainable Integrated Housing –Muvis-, have become a resilient response for people who wish to acquire a functional home, built with quality materials that allow them to improve their quality of life.

The country’s housing deficit is one of the most complex social challenges in Guatemala. One of the most efficient responses in recent years has been the construction of Muvis, buildings that comply with current regulations and also provide the opportunity for families with limited resources to access decent housing.

For Gabriela Cruz, advisor for Urban Solutions and Housing in Progreso, the concept of –Muvis– broke with the traditional model by meeting a huge demand with little supply of social housing in Guatemala, they are proposed as projects that break paradigms.

“One of the most disruptive elements of the Muvis is that they are located in central areas of urban centers and represent a real opportunity for families to be able to acquire decent housing, since approximately, the value of the monthly fee does not exceed the payment of a minimum wage.

Cruz explained that in addition to offering decent, safe and affordable housing, Muvis allow adequate integration and a safe space for families, since they are made with the city’s construction standards. «These modules allow the integration of safe, recreational spaces, with the appropriate regulations that guarantee the investment of families.»
