From the initial conclusions of the research ‘Architecture and Psychology: Living in Confined Spaces’, the project moved towards a proposal that gave emphasis on spatial qualities such as visual “temperature”, intensity and color of light, audio landscape, tactile textures and generally spatial features/characteristics that contribute to the sensation of the habitation archetype. A rough retrofitting framework was produced that led to a proposal of a different type of utilization of submarine chassis. The proposal presents an alternative use of a submarine, as a novel habitation “nest” , focusing in the design of spaces that exhibit the qualitative elements of “place”, using narrow spaces as an advantage.
