Habitat 67, Modular residential complex in Montreal, Canada.

The complex consists of 354 interlocking concrete units arranged in varying geometric configurations, creating a network of interconnected living spaces across multiple levels.

Moshe Safdie designed Habitat 67 as part of his McGill University thesis, which later became a central pavilion during the 1967 Montreal World Exhibition.

The residential structure transformed architectural perspectives by introducing prefabricated modular construction methods while integrating private gardens into urban apartment living.

The building contains 158 apartments ranging from 600 to 1800 square feet, accessed through three elevator cores that stop at designated pedestrian streets.

Each residence within the complex features individual roof gardens, created by utilizing the top surface of the unit directly below as outdoor space.
