Title : A Home That Moves With Us
“Home is no longer where we stay, but what we carry.”
This project proposes a mobile living system designed for extreme and constantly changing environments.
The spherical units function as self-contained habitats that can be transported by towing, allowing users to relocate freely across vast landscapes such as deserts or remote terrains.
The spherical form was chosen for its structural efficiency and environmental performance, minimizing surface area while maintaining internal volume.
Its geometry also allows it to better withstand external forces such as wind and sand.
The lightweight structural frames surrounding the units serve both as protective elements and as adaptable infrastructure, potentially supporting energy collection, stabilization, or environmental modulation.
By detaching the concept of dwelling from a fixed location, this project redefines housing as a dynamic system—one that responds to mobility, climate uncertainty, and the evolving relationship between humans and their environment.
Rather than designing a static building,
this work explores the idea of architecture as something that moves, adapts, and travels with its inhabitants.
