About PROTOHOME
PROTOHOME is a self-build housing project created by members of Crisis, the national charity for single homeless people,
temporarily sited and open to the public in the Ouseburn, Newcastle upon Tyne.
A group of individuals who have experienced homelessness have developed a timber-frame self-build housing prototype using
a method of building specifically designed for untrained self-builders. The aim isn’t to create a full housing model with services, but a ‘shell’ structure that offers a vision of how this model could be developed into ‘working’ housing in the future.
PROTOHOME is open to the public to visit and plays host to a programme of events including talks, exhibitions, public forums,
film screenings, artist residencies, performances, workshops and more, examining the collaborative design/build process and wider issues concerning housing and homelessness in an austerity context, participatory alternatives and the politics of land and development.
