Post-Nuclear Housing explores how existing homes can be adapted to new forms of living together. Drawing on the ideas of Judith Butler, Donna Haraway, and Virginia Woolf, the project proposes more flexible and inclusive spatial strategies that move beyond the traditional nuclear family model.

Contemporary housing continues to respond, to a large extent, to traditional family models that do not always reflect the diversity of current living arrangements. In response to this reality, Mikel García Hernández, Mikel García Hernández, a Bachelor's Degree student in Interior Design, proposes a reflection on how interior design can help rethink domestic space through more inclusive and flexible perspectives.
Drawing on the work of Judith Butler, Donna Haraway, and Virginia Woolf, the project examines the relationship between housing, identity, and ways of inhabiting space. Based on this theoretical framework, it develops intervention strategies for existing residential environments, adapting them to user profiles that move beyond the traditional nuclear family model.
The research understands housing as an environment capable of evolving alongside the needs of its inhabitants, exploring new spatial configurations that foster adaptability, coexistence, and diversity.
Through this proposal, the Final Degree Project invites reflection on the role of design in shaping more open domestic models that better represent contemporary realities.
