For the love of Architecture and everything it stands for. Its ability to affect change in the built environment. To dignify occupants, and create a positive atmosphere. I think a life welll designed is a life well lived. Life is meant to have purpose, why settle for mediocracy.

Concept
One of the main design objectives is to provide an alternative design for future residents of Houston or current residents who have been ravaged by floods. Part of the objective was to design around a specific set of components for a house. Future homes would have a new floating platform as a base, a south facing eco cooler wall and solar panels. Additional requirements like operable louvers would be adjusted to site specific conditions.
Houston, TX is constantly ravaged by floods and since april of 2016 it has seen 3 dozen major floods. With Houston’s ever growing population and decreasing number of wetlands, floods show no sign of stopping soon. However, locals have built their lives around this major city and relocating just doesn’t seem like a viable option for most.

Site Analysis

Orientation and placement of particular components were affected by site specific conditions. Wind from the west determined the placement of operable louvers that when opened allows for direct ventilation.

Operable louvers provide necessary shade from direct sunlight on the east and west side, where there are full height windows, while still maintaining visibility.
Solar panels are south facing and angled between 20-30° for direct sunlight throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons.

A floating raft from recycled water drums allow the platform to float in the prescence of a flood. Steel posts on concrete caissons provide a track for the platform to follow.
Eco coolers claim to decrease indoor room temperature of up to 5° celsius. Positioned at the south side of the house for optimal wind.
