The growing unaffordability of home ownership in cities has led to the resurgence of models such as rental housing and cooperative apartments. Both models emerged as a response to the long-term unavailability of housing and the high property prices in urban areas. While cooperative apartments offer benefits such as the option to purchase a share.

In the volcanic heart of Kalapana, Hawaii, a futuristic structure gently rests upon the rock, like an organic creature finding refuge. It doesn’t conquer the landscape, it contemplates it. Inspired by parasitic architecture, Volcano Shell adapts to its surroundings like a natural extension of the hardened lava.
