The Carbon Condominium project explores applying composite carbon materials to residential architecture. Investigating emerging carbon forms, especially gas pyrolysis-derived carbon nanotubes, the composite carbon building shell doubles as a solar power generator, epitomizing a holistic blend of sustainability and functionality in residential design. Internally, custom-designed furniture enhances flexibility, with an extendable, movable kitchenette, and foldable furniture optimizing space for daily activities. The structure is unified by monotone, all-carbon aesthetics, presenting an avant-garde approach that seamlessly marries cutting-edge materials with adaptable interiors in this residential project.
