Buoyant, Interdependent proposes a floating habitat where community is shaped through shared reliance rather than fixed ground. Repurposed grain silos are transformed into modular dwellings linked by collective infrastructure, supporting diverse modes of living while reinforcing social connection. Circulation paths, communal platforms, and shared resources create a spatial framework that encourages encounter, cooperation, and mutual support.

Salvaged grain silos and concrete tubs are retrofitted into buoyant structural units, forming a modular framework for floating community. Linked by shared platforms, the system promotes resource efficiency while enabling collective living. Reuse beco

Salvaged grain silos and concrete tubs are retrofitted into buoyant structural units, forming a modular framework for floating community. Linked by shared platforms, the system promotes resource efficiency while enabling collective living. Reuse becomes both material strategy and spatial driver, supporting an adaptable habitat responsive to environmental change.

A floating neighborhood structured by shared infrastructure, where independent dwellings are anchored within a cooperative spatial framework that supports encounter, visibility, and evolving forms of community. Organized as a field rather than a singular object, the settlement allows moments of retreat and participation to coexist — framing community not as consensus, but as an ongoing spatial negotiation.

A central promenade organizes the silo dwellings into a shared social spine, where circulation becomes encounter. Soft seating clusters transform the passage into an inhabitable threshold — balancing privacy with collective life and framing community

A central promenade organizes the silo dwellings into a shared social spine, where circulation becomes encounter. Soft seating clusters transform the passage into an inhabitable threshold — balancing privacy with collective life and framing community as an everyday spatial condition rather than a programmed event.

Elevated above the waterline, the communal deck operates as an outdoor living room — a platform for informal gathering, work, and pause. Shaded yet open to the horizon, it supports a fluid overlap of domestic and civic rituals, suggesting a new model

Elevated above the waterline, the communal deck operates as an outdoor living room — a platform for informal gathering, work, and pause. Shaded yet open to the horizon, it supports a fluid overlap of domestic and civic rituals, suggesting a new model of neighborhood grounded in adaptability and shared stewardship.
