Over the Edge: Arctic Habitat

The main task of the architect when designing in extreme conditions is to achieve the most competent adaptation of the object to the environment. In this project of the Arctic settlement "Over the Edge, Arctic habitat" an experimental decision was made to place the object on a slope, which as a result allowed for the creation of many interesting solutions.

This innovative habitat design utilizes modern architecture principles to enhance adaptability, efficiency, and sustainability in one of the harshest climates on Earth. The project emphasizes wind-resistant structures, passive solar heating, and integrated community spaces to ensure long-term resilience and livability.
