The featured innovative multifamily housing projects spotlight atypical solutions on typical sites and radical interventions in unusual locations that aim to address issues of increasing density, the ongoing housing crisis, and affordability. While these societal problems are far beyond the scope of architecture alone to solve, designers can bring innovative thinking to improve the quality of housing as well as the quantity, while actively controlling costs. The five inventive projects highlighted here, located in major U.S. cities and in Europe, serve to illustrate the unique challenges and opportunities in multifamily housing applications. Among these projects are a 15-unit family complex in the center of a large urban block, low-cost housing opportunities for the homeless, and a high-end Passive House condo project with ample outdoor space. These varied multifamily design ideas across a range of sites and price points, shine some rays of light on one of contemporary society’s most intractable problems.
