The Environmental Bubble
A project explores the concept of thermal comfort in residential architecture, emphasizing a climatic approach that
balances the physical needs of the human body with subjective well-being.

The study critiques traditional energy-intensive heating and cooling methods,
proposing a design ethos that aligns with principles of sustainability and the adaptive thermal comfort model.

Invasioning a radical domesticity
proposing a “comfort bubble” for its residents—an environment in which life unfolds without the need for solid walls or conventional spatial separations.
Domestic Fiction
imagining a dwelling type in which its residents live actively around a standard living package.

Inspired from critiques by the radical precedent Rayaner Banham and the thermodynamic architectural approache of Philippe Rahm a standrad living package were produced by follwing the recommended dimensions of each space and appliance from the book Arkitektens handbook.
Through a thermodynamic lens, the project follows the paradigm shift in architectural practice, emphasizing performance over form and the unseen meteorological influences within the built environment.
