The study critiques traditional energy-intensive heating and cooling methods, proposing a design ethos that aligns with principles of sustainability and the adaptive thermal comfort model.

Mapping comfort attributes
An architecture that investigates the integration of air and heat as building materials in Swedish residential architecture
Invasioning a radical domesticity
proposing a “comfort bubble” for its residents—an environment in which life unfolds without the need for solid walls or conventional spatial separations.
Domestic Fiction
imagining a dwelling type in which its residents live actively around a standard living package.

Inspired from critiques by the radical precedent Rayaner Banham and the thermodynamic architectural approache of Philippe Rahm a standrad living package were produced by follwing the recommended dimensions of each space and appliance from the book Arkitektens handbook.
Through a thermodynamic lens, the project follows the paradigm shift in architectural practice, emphasizing performance over form and the unseen meteorological influences within the built environment.
