description: The identity of place within architecture has become a factor of secondary importance due to the impacts of globalization. Through the interpolation of regional data such as cultural values, materiality, and climate, this housing typology roots the architecture to its place. The application of regional data manifests within a residential development of micro units that live and breathe within the ecological parameters of the region. The spatial qualities of the development encourage community engagement while also retaining a level of privacy. It is of critical importance within contemporary architecture to respond to the changing climate and preserve the regional characteristics that have proven to be the most effective solutions to the problems of the site.
