Plug-in housing explores flexible architectural systems where components can be added, removed, or reconfigured to accommodate evolving lifestyles and uses. This approach draws from both historical utopian models and contemporary responses to urban density and resource constraints.

Work includes transformative renovations, prefabricated housing strategies, and designs that integrate landscape and water as structural elements.
