Población Quebrada Márquez, Social housing complex in Valparaíso, Chile.
The residential development features five concrete blocks rising four to six stories high, containing 214 apartments arranged in a stepped pattern along the hillside.
Between 1946 and 1949, engineer Pedro Goldsack constructed this housing project during Gabriel González Videla's presidency to address the residential needs of working families.
The State Popular Housing Fund initially allocated these 58-square-meter apartments exclusively to families with three or more children, who gained ownership after paying 800 pesos.
Each apartment includes three bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, and bathroom, while ground floor units have back yards and upper levels feature connecting balconies.
The buildings adapt to the steep topography of Márquez ravine, creating a continuous horizontal profile that integrates with the natural slope of Valparaíso's hills.
