Evolving Terrace 2021

‘For a machine to run smoothly and predictably, its parts must be standard and hence replaceable’.

Charles Eisenstein

Architectural drawings of a multi-story residential building, including front elevation, sectional cut showing interior layouts with people, and rear elevation, at 1:100 scale.

This group project explores how flexible, sustainable, and affordable design can create homes that adapt over time to users’ changing needs. Rather than being an afterthought, future vertical expansions are integrated from the start so occupants can easily adjust interior spaces. The new build combines an independent steel frame with standard and custom interchangeable components. This approach enables quick construction, low maintenance, and maximum flexibility.
