Currently available housing in the Arctic is limited to solutions that have been adapted from designs for less severe climates. This thesis has developed a new manner of residential construction designed specifically for the Arctic climate and culture. The system invented ensures a variety of building options for traditional cultural requirements, while also improving on the level of amenity expected of contemporary dwellings. It has developed a sustainable and responsible building system that represents definite and quantifiable improvements through the use of appropriate technologies.
