Design
Spatial premise
The project addresses habitability in mission-driven confinement by rethinking the container as an adaptive interior rather than a neutral shell. The design responds to shifting routines, limited daylight, and prolonged exposure to a highly controlled environment, proposing a spatial system that supports both operational efficiency and psychological well-being.
Design drivers
The proposal was structured around three key spatial needs, agency, privacy, and sleep, while also responding to alternating work patterns within the station. Rather than prescribing a single use, the interior was conceived as a support system for changing routines, different degrees of interaction, and degrees of withdrawal.
Reconfigurable uses
 |
 |
Reconfigurability was used to produce different modes of occupation within the same spatial envelope. The system supports rest, focused work, retreat, and informal interaction, allowing the habitat to shift with the user’s physical and mental state.
From geometry to environmental surface
 |
 |
The geometry was progressively refined through scale transitions: from the spatial envelope, to extracted surfaces, to differentiated panels integrating light, structure, and acoustic performance. This development was not aesthetic only; it aligned the formal language of the proposal with fabrication logic and environmental intent.
Light as spatial layer
Lighting was treated as an architectural layer embedded in the furniture system. Its role was not merely functional, but environmental: to differentiate zones, modulate routines, and compensate for the scarcity and instability of natural light.
