Rising sea levels and coastal instability invalidate static, land-based architecture. This thesis proposes an adaptive, amphibious system: a continuous architectural interface deployed along sinuous shorelines. Drawing from submarine interiors—optimized for pressure, enclosure, and operational continuity—the project develops a framework of nested, layered, and interdependent spatial assemblies. These are transformed into hybrid programs combining residential, commercial, educational, and recreational uses to sustain daily life under fluctuating conditions.
Situated within the littoral zone, the system extends vertically above sea level, horizontally along the shoreline, and sub-surface into the shallow seabed, forming a thickened architectural interface between land and ocean. Rejecting rigid typologies, the project reconfigures compartmentalized logic into a continuous, adaptable spatial field, positioning architecture as a performative system that absorbs and operates within environmental instability.
