Theseus is a 150-bed housing project across from the Port of Chelsea, MA, that adapts cargo holds from decommissioned bulk-carrier ships, which are typically retired after a mere 25 years. The project transforms maritime steel infrastructure into resilient housing superstructures. Suspended floor plates allow the ground to remain open for communal use, creating a floodable, adaptable civic space. The units offer elasticity—residents can open walls to expand or merge households, adapting to shifting domestic needs.
