RESILIENT HOMES CHALLENGE

EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT HOME

The project embodies the concept of easily constructible homes using vernacular materials and modular system that can be multiplied and combined into units of various sizes.

The focus is on quickly rebuilding the townships, creating aesthetically pleasing and functionally feasible environment for fast emotional and economic recovery of the affected regions.

The building form is simplified by merging the common elements- the wall and roof are one composite with uniform construction and finishing materials that respond to the necessary functional performance.

This structure can be later on expanded into bigger aggregates.

A singular housing unit is built of three highly functionally distinguishable modules of living, cleansing and resting.
