SHELTER + WATER + FIRE

What if we redefined architecture as something interrelated with its climate, materials, and watershed? Designed for rural and coastal communities facing water and housing stress in climates with year-round temperatures above 50°F and relative humidity around 60%.

High quality regenerative modular shelter with decentralized water and power systems to be approved at the state level, reducing local barriers to housing production.

Built offsite and light on the land, components can be configured for different locations and relocated from leased land or land affected by wildfire.
