The Butterfly House
Tasked to design self sufficient, affordable housing for the people of Nicaragua residing in Martina Bustos, Costa Rica. This proposal aims to design a dwelling that is uncomplicated in form, easy to build, and quick to assemble while creating a livable, adaptable interior. Designing a small dwelling means that there is an increased need for efficiency. The additional opportunity for multiplicity makes the possibility of prefabrication more feasible, while influencing the quality and speed of construction.
By examining the relationship between interior and exterior, program, and environmental concerns in relation to prefabricated and easily assembled components, a minimal home with maximum function was created.
