'Casa Alternativa' is a sustainable housing that can be incorporated into empty spaces found around the city.  It is composed of five modules that can interchange positions to increase flexibility when adapting to spaces and maintain optimal orientation in regards to the sun and wind.  The center module is a garden, which provides natural light and ventilation system for all the spaces in the house.  'Casa Alternativa' is not connect to the cities system since it generates its electricity and has a water harvesting program and filtration system.
