About Mikaila Rastella
Mikaila Rastella is a graduating senior in the Interior Architecture and Design program. At the core of her design philosophy is the belief that every space should be functional, beautiful, and sustainable for both the occupants and the environment. Her love for design stems not only from how occupants move throughout the space, but how they interact with each other.
Statement
My senior thesis highlights the need for Natural Disaster Resilient Homes. With climate change on the rise, we will see an increase in frequency and intensity of these disasters. In areas such as Miami, Florida it is crucial we start designing new residential buildings to withstand these events and prevent major damages and displacement.
