EcoIsleta Coliving Canarias is in the process of becoming a Zero Waste Coliving, but this process started when we decided to buy an old traditional house in our neighborhood.

We have been working in the protection of these old houses for more than 10 years.

It is one of the most important heritages we have, and if you want to understand our identity and our community, you have to protect these houses.

They talk about how our families overcome many difficulties in the XX century, and turned La Isleta into a healthy community, full of people caring for each other…

This typology of houses are simple, but very strong, useful and self constructed by the owners, mainly with only one floor, and with one big patio to keep animals like goats and to grow some veggies…

We love these houses. Our EcoIsleta Coliving Canarias is not a new house, we don’t offer a state of the art brand new house, we offer an opportunity to understand and experience the way workers lived in our neighborhood 100 years ago…

We kept the old structure, hydraulic floors, wood ceiling, doors, etc… The renovation process lasted 3 years, we ran out of money twice and because we wanted to keep many old parts of the house, problems showed up every second…

We did almost everything ourselves inside of the house, we built a small workshop in one room and with the help of Mamadou, a good friend of us, we worked to renovate the house and build all the furniture. We did welding, plumbing, painting, electricity, etc…

But most important, this is an opportunity for our community to understand the importance of these traditional houses, that’s why we always invite neighbors to visit the house.
