Concerned with the wellness of its users, The Oasis invites comfort in isolation and promotes independence with sustainability in a postpandemic world. The concept is to be flexible and transformable by the user while thriving in biodiversity. The central roof structure holds the roof and rooftop garden where rainwater feeds the plants along the top and any excess water runoff drains through and into the vertical garden lining the interior wall. Any water collected in the centre of the roof is separated and filtered to be reused by the inhabitant for cooking, washing, etc. At 300 sq ft the house is meant to be prefabricated and can reside almost anywhere in Canada - the site pictured here is in British Columbia. The round exterior provides panoramic views to the ever changing Canadian scenery and stems from indigenous plans of yurts, tipis, and igloos, while also sliding to provide shading from the sun or opening up to provide more space that connects to the outdoor scenery. The opened interiors are spatially efficient with the center space being designed for utility and the rest capable of transforming as needed with a subfloor that houses active systems (generator, rainwater collector and filter, etc.) and storage for personal belongings, bedding and sitting space.
