What could possibly be more novelty than novelty socks? Maybe the box in which they arrive. The inspiration for this concept was Hello Socks, a brand of Swedish novelty socks. Their boxes are fun but didn’t quite match up to the absurdity of the actual item. The box proposal has legs that can be popped out and a handle, so the box itself can actually be transformed into a little dresser for just (3 pairs of) novelty socks.

The Eixample neighborhood of Barcelona is cha-racterized by a very specific block formation: the octagonal block with an empty center. While this doesn't seem so strange on its own, consider that the entire neighborhood only accommodates this layout, and has a strict height limit.
The premise of this proposal was to infill one of the only nonconforming blocks in the neighborhood with a housing complex and corresponding garden co-op in the open center. I decided to focus on a demographic very specific to Barcelona: elderly couples with adult children living at home. The concept was simple, to create units that could be spacious and accessible one-bedroom apartments that could be converted to comfortable two-bedrooms. The garden co-op became the entry: couples who wanted to live in the units would have to volunteer time to the co-op as teachers for local community members.
