Problem
Conventional residential construction treats climate control as a mechanical afterthought, resulting in energy-heavy HVAC systems. How can housing in hot-humid climates like Houston balance ventilation, solar exposure, and efficient construction?
Solution
Designed from Houston weather analytics, this project functions as an adaptive dwelling system that uses climate data, active facade mechanisms, and modular timber assembly to transform the house into a responsive environmental device. The house would serve as a testbed to explore new forms of climate-conscious domestic living.
