For the 2018 Tallinn Architecture Biennale, I collaborated with Casey Rehm and Yasushi Ishida pn the competition entry Strange Flatmates: New Residents for the Primitive Hut.

We proposed a gathering space for multi-species interactions, to be built on-site with robot-controlled wood panel fabrication – with lights embedded in nooks and crannies to attract prey for spider web aggregations, and simple heating elements to warm humans, plants, and animals, referencing the sauna culture of Estonia.
