ECO-PRINT is a housing prototype designed as an ethic of restraint: reduce impact, increase dignity. The project begins with a practical question—how can a small footprint still feel like a complete life?—and answers it not through spectacle, but through clarity. The plan is composed as a sequence of thresholds, where spatial generosity comes from proportion, daylight, and the careful placement of outdoor relief, rather than from excess area.
A central lobby becomes the project’s organizing intelligence. It holds the home together—connecting living, dining, and porch—while separating bedrooms with quiet discipline. This reduces friction in daily routines and gives privacy without hostility. The garden is treated as more than decoration: it is a breathing seam—a place where light arrives, air moves, and the house can pause. In climates where heat and glare can dominate, this interstitial space becomes a small but meaningful infrastructure for health.
ECO-PRINT also acknowledges the present: real constraints, real budgets, real maintenance. The geometry remains compact and repeatable; the circulation is legible; the prototype is conceived to be adaptable across sites without losing its core logic. Sustainability here is not a label—it is a method: minimizing unnecessary surfaces, designing for natural ventilation and controllable daylight, and prioritizing assemblies that can be maintained and repaired.
Role: I actively led the team’s design process and authored the project’s communication, delivering copywriting, illustration, visualization, and 3D modelling to align the architectural idea with a clear, buildable narrative.
Type: Housing prototype | Status: Concept / prototype | Scope: Design lead + narrative + visuals
Plan: compact does not mean cramped—clarity becomes comfort.
Lobby as spine: a simple hinge that protects privacy and reduces wasteful circulation.
Garden as infrastructure: light, air, and pause—designed, not accidental.
Prototype logic: repeatable form, adaptable life.
