Nicole Fontaine, M. Arch 2025

I’m Nicole— a designer and researcher focused on the edge cases: frozen, flooded, off-grid, wild.
 

I started Resilience by Design to answer the urgent questions most architecture forgets to ask:
How do we build places that heal? How do we design for chaos? How do we make resilience beautiful?

​

Every other week, I share insights from the front lines of adaptation — so you can build better systems, stronger structures, and more enduring futures.

​

Cold. Coastal. Off-grid. Beautiful.
