What is the ARCH Project?
The Philosophy Behind ARCH
The Affordable Rental Community Housing (ARCH) Project is an initiative by Rentchamber Ltd designed to address the pressing issue of affordable housing in Ghana. The philosophy of ARCH centres on inclusivity, sustainability, and fostering community living, ensuring that individuals and families from all walks of life can access decent, affordable homes.
Bridging the Gap in Affordable Housing
Ghana faces a significant housing deficit, with many people unable to afford decent living spaces. The ARCH Project aims to bridge this gap by providing affordable rental options tailored to low- and middle-income families. This initiative alleviates housing challenges and promotes dignity and security for residents.
Target Demographics
The ARCH Project is designed for low- and middle-income earners, young professionals, and families looking for affordable yet quality housing. It also targets individuals seeking community-oriented living spaces that promote interaction and shared resources.
Community-Focused Living
Promoting Sustainable Development
ARCH fosters a vision of sustainable development by integrating environmentally friendly practices and ensuring that communities thrive socially and economically. Residents are encouraged to engage in local initiatives that contribute to the development of their neighbourhoods.
Building Connected Communities
A key feature of the ARCH Project is its emphasis on community building. By creating spaces that encourage social interaction, such as shared gardens, recreational areas, and communal facilities, ARCH nurtures a sense of belonging among residents.
Features of ARCH Residences
ARCH residences are thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and functionality. Key features include:
- Modern, compact housing units.
- Shared amenities like parks, playgrounds, and multipurpose halls.
- Secure environments with 24/7 security and maintenance services.
