As part of the Design Against the Elements competition, the prompt is to design an entire disaster-resistant community next to an existing university. The project scope includes a community center, a community daycare or school, and at least 100 housing units.

The underlying goal is to create survivable units. In the case of a typhoon, these houses are raised 3 ft so that it can endure the floods that follow. Each unit interlocks with the adjacent  one, forming one residential building. Because of limited space on the site, each living space is sized to accommodate for the basic needs, like sleeping, eating, etc.
