“Not a House” is not a residential object. It is a living spatial system — programmable, shareable, evolving — where architecture shifts from static shelter to adaptive platform. The narrative should frame it as a new typology between dwelling, infrastructure, and experience. The project rejects the conventional idea of a private, fixed, ownership-bound dwelling. It proposes architecture as a time-based, service-enabled, and experience-driven habitat — designed less as property and more as a spatial interface between people, nature, and networked systems.

Not a House is BHZA’s redefinition of residential architecture as a high-performance living platform rather than a fixed private dwelling. Designed around a 100-day flexible access model, it transforms housing into an adaptive, networked system that maximizes spatial utilization, financial efficiency, and experiential quality. By combining prefabricated performance envelopes, modular interior programs, and membership-based access structures, Not a House enables middle-income households to participate in architecturally elevated environments without the burden of full ownership duplication. It aligns design excellence with platform economics—reducing idle capital, increasing lifecycle value, and delivering curated, nature-integrated living experiences that evolve over time.
