Casa Zimbabwe, Student housing cooperative in Berkeley, United States.
Casa Zimbabwe spans four stories on its east wing and three stories on its west wing, connected by communal spaces at 2422 Ridge Road.
Constructed in 1966 as the first purpose-built student cooperative in the United States, Casa Zimbabwe initially featured separate male and female residential wings.
The building walls showcase numerous murals dating back to the 1970s, starting with a recreation of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album cover.
Each of the 124 residents contributes five hours per week to maintain the facility and participates in council meetings to make collective decisions.
The structure's floors are offset by half a level between wings, incorporating solar panels installed in 1979 for sustainable energy generation.
