Hardcore Housing

PROBLEM

People need somewhere to live and they've been getting the same options for fifty years.

SOLUTION

Galaxy Hardcore Housing is the MTREES residential universe — the full taxonomy of shelter systems, modular housing ecosystems, and structural formats for people who need a place to exist on the planet and have not been served by the available options. Housing is the most consequential physical product a person acquires, and it has been designed with the creativity of a spreadsheet and the flexibility of concrete. Hardcore Housing attacks this from multiple angles: colonial modular systems that look expected and behave like platforms, angular boxy off-grid structures that degrade gracefully, tubular stacking habitats for density environments, and everything in between. Planets here do not share a single architectural language. They share the belief that the structure a person lives in should be improvable, expandable, and designed for the life actually being lived rather than the life a developer assumed would be lived there.
