Habitat 67
Habitat '67 is a striking housing complex located on the Quai Marc-Drouin on the
Saint Lawrence River at
Montreal. It was designed by architect
Moshe Safdie for his masters thesis at
McGill University. The project created affordable housing with close but private quarters, each equipped with a garden. Modular, interlocking concrete forms define the space. The complex was built as part of
Expo '67. It is now a privately owned condo complex since it was purchased by its tennants in 1985.
