Water house proposes a climate adaptation strategy 

for flood-prone communities.

Combining retrofit, ecological infrastructure, and

flood resilient housing that work with natural drainage 

systems and natural flood cycles, the proposal

transforms water from a threat into a spatial and

environmental asset, enabling communities to adapt 

without displacement while preserving local identity

and autonomy.

Adapting to natural flood cycles, the proposal

transforms water from a threat into a spatial material, 

enabling communities to adapt without displacement 

while preserving local identity and autonomy.
