SEA RANCH

This is a two-phase architectural proposal that addresses wildfire resilience and affordable housing in Sea Ranch, CA. In the first phase, AI tools such as ComfyUI were used to generate conceptual imagery from sketches and prompts, guiding the development of spatial strategies and formal language through drawings, physical models, and 3D studies. Building on this foundation, the second phase introduces a native tree nursery to support ecological regeneration and proposes modular housing units designed for adaptability, efficiency, and high-quality living. Guided by Firewise principles, the layout defines defensible zones and ensures firefighter access—enhancing safety while preserving the site’s natural landscape. Throughout the process, AI served as a creative and analytical tool, supporting innovation grounded in resilience and place.
