HAH - Hexagonal Affordable Housing

Abbreviated as HAH for 'hexagonal affordable housing', the design is for a mid-rise residential building comprised of 84 trapezoidal housing cells that are attached to a structural grid and slide in and out, much like drawers in a dresser. It explores various lighting concepts and the Japanese shinchintaisha movement through a modern, technological lens.

Urban Oasis

The contradiction between the encroachment of urbanization and the increasing tension of agricultural land has also become the most prominent problem in the current stage of rapid urban development. We need "urban agricultural landscape system", as a unique continuous "patch" type of urban green ecosystem-the "urban oasis".

The "O2" or "Air" POD is the result of an exploration into alternative materials and forms for cost effective housing in the future. Our solution to expensive and heavy building techniques was to approach the problem from another angle, developing a light pre-fab pod that can be mass produced at a low cost out of an inflatable membrane.

City in the Arctic

Since human presence in an aggressive environment should be limited, it is necessary to create conditions for long-term stay of people inside the building. To do this, we offer to place inside the building: residential modules, offices, recreation area and facilities for the development of children and other premises.

More rigor to understanding the place and needs of a remote community would help this project greatly.
