Occupying a footprint of only 11 square meters, this micro-house emerged at a moment when the canal's future is being rewritten by a large-scale infrastructure transformation. The design embraces a radical minimalist approach to space, materiality, and structure. Its construction relies on lightweight modular materials. AAC panels form the primary enclosure, reducing structural load, simplifying construction while providing thermal performance suitable for the tropical climate. The project documents a disappearing urban condition.
