Housewarming Workshop is a design-research collaborative that challenges the social and material norms in architecture through experimental spatial practices. Their work ranges from speculative exhibition projects to small-scale refurbishments and construction experiments focused on reuse and renovation. Their ethos centers on the transformation and reprogramming of existing conditions, rather than new construction, modeling new lifestyles and habits for our uncertain futures.


Vincent is an engineer, architect, and researcher based in Cambridge, MA. He holds a Diplôme d’Ingénieur from INSA Lyon and a Master of Architecture from MIT.

Vincent is a co-founder of Housewarming, a practice that explores forms of architecture challenging assumptions about material value, modern comfort, and permanence. Through pre-industrial knowledge and hacking existing construction systems, it proposes interventions resisting the extractive cycles of contemporary material cultures.

Vincent is also co-founder of COBI (Collective Organic Building Initiative), a design collective based in Cambridge, MA, focusing on bioregional materials and circular practices in the Northeast of the United States.

From time to time, he spins records and bikes long distances.

    Junha is an architect, researcher, and artist based in Cambridge, MA. She holds a Master of Architecture from MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a focus in Architectural Design from Stanford University.

Currently, Junha is exploring forms of architecture that challenge assumptions about use and appropriateness across time. She is particularly interested in reimagining everyday objects, surfaces (such as chairs, stairs, and walls), spaces, and materials. In doing so, she questions existing preconceptions of normalcy, appropriation, societal conduct, comfort, and our relationship to materials and labor. She believes that somewhere between architecture, performance, and play, we can begin to break our ingrained habits and construct new, heterogeneous practices of care and solidarity.

Outside of work, Junha enjoys doing yoga, ︎drawing on people's bodies︎, reading other people’s thoughts, and resting.
