onushongo.bangladesh is a consultancy firm currently operating in Dhaka, Bangladesh: is aimed to be a social enterprise providing affordable housing solution for lower and lower middle income people. We came to formation winning the "urban innovation challenge 2018" organized by BRAC. Onushongo.Bangladesh is a team of professionals mostly architects in quest for an effective solution for one of the most densely populated delta in the world. Currently involved in different social housing projects for lower income people in different contexts, with organizations like BRAC(NGO), PKSF(govt organization), UNDP and local government authorities.The mission of onushongo.bangladesh is to solve the perpetual need of shelters for the poor, and provide them a roof above their head in a relatively closer place to CBD, which ultimately leads to slum up-gradation and low-cost housing solutions. But the difference between a typical developer organization and us is that we aim to develop a parametric housing solution, which will in nature be adaptive, and take into account the social and cultural parameters as well as architectural and living standards parameters that would affect the core of the system's adaptability, and change it accordingly. This unique approach makes our service rally quick and affordable.Currently we are connected with several government and non-government organizations such as city corporations and UNDP, and trying to change their views towards the low-cost housing solutions. We are trying to prove that some initial expansion in expenditure of the building will ultimately reduce the living cost, turning the total system into a low-income housing rather than a low-cost housing. Overall improvement in living condition will turn the housing into a social business, providing living solutions for the newly migrated marginal group in the urban and peri urban areas, resulting into mutual benefit of the existing and new marginal communities.
