A reconsideration of the limited understanding of comfort is needed. Thermal autonomy challenges the static notion of comfort, and gives authority to the residents to control their microclimate. Our site strategy focuses on creating an environment which establishes comfort by utilizing the breezeway to respond to the climate of our site with a particular focus on sun, light, and wind. “Air” was fundamentally rethought to a tool which can be leveraged to sustainably provide comfort, both for heating when confined and natural ventilation when allowed to flow freely.
