Housing units encompass the design of residential spaces at all scales, from single-family homes to multi-unit complexes. These projects address fundamental human needs for shelter while exploring how architectural design can improve quality of life, community integration, and social impact.

The community examines diverse housing typologies including student accommodation, social housing, transitional shelters, and speculative residential developments. Members share work that demonstrates innovative approaches to density, material expression, courtyard planning, and how housing can serve specific populations or urban contexts.
