Overview
A housing thesis framing domestic architecture as climate infrastructure: adaptable living systems, flood-aware assembly, and communal space designed for changing environmental conditions rather than static occupancy.
Highlights
- Thesis project focused on resilient domestic architecture under flood and storm conditions.
- Final media set combines atmospheric renders with long-section and axonometric technical drawings.
- Housing is treated as an environmental system spanning envelope, community, and temporal occupancy.

## Abstract
Tomorrow's House for Today asks how domestic architecture can operate as climate infrastructure instead of a fixed object. The thesis studies housing as a system that must absorb changing water levels, shifting occupation, and communal patterns of use over time. Rather than treating resilience as an add-on, the project makes adaptation legible in section, axon, and lived space.
## Focus
- Housing is organized around flood-aware living and changing seasonal conditions.
- Community space is treated as part of the survival logic of the house, not leftover amenity.
- Long sections and axonometric drawings carry the project as much as the perspective renders.
- The project prioritizes environmental response, assembly logic, and spatial clarity over formal excess.
