Personal Spotlight
This is an affordable housing project conducted by myself and my business partner working in the solar industry.

Re imagines shipping containers as adaptable, sustainable housing solutions for single-family use. Designed with resilience and affordability in mind, this innovative concept transforms industrial materials into modern, off-grid homes that emphasize functionality, durability, and eco-conscious living. The project reflects a commitment to creative reuse and thoughtful design, offering a practical yet stylish solution for those seeking sustainable housing options or disaster relief accommodations.

Intrepid
The Voyager Project aligns closely with my thesis on resilient off-grid land development strategies for hurricane-prone regions by addressing the critical need for affordable, sustainable housing solutions in disaster-affected areas. This concept leverages shipping containers to create durable, hurricane-resistant homes designed for displaced populations. By focusing on modularity, eco-conscious materials, and self-sufficiency, the Voyager Project embodies the principles of resilience, mitigation, and sustainability central to my research, offering a practical framework for housing in vulnerable communities.
