RESEARCH PROJECTS

​A sculptural light that reinterprets fire through material and form. Brass stems rise from an iron base to hold glass spheres that appear weightless in suspension. The piece transforms illumination into a quiet presence, emphasizing durability, reflection, and the enduring relationship between energy and stillness.

A climate-adaptive prototype for communal water infrastructure in Madagascar. The design integrates floodwater collection, filtration, and public gathering spaces, creating architecture that performs as both system and sanctuary. It redefines resilience through shared resources, combining local construction techniques with environmental research.

A trio of vases exploring material life cycles through the contrast of materials. Each piece reveals layers of transformation - solid and fluid, natural and fabricated, inviting reflection on time, decay, and renewal within sustainable craft.

A civic complex designed to foster transparency, accessibility, and collective identity. The project combines administrative functions with public spaces, using daylight, circulation, and open structure to encourage interaction between citizens and government. Material simplicity and modular construction emphasize long-term adaptability and environmental responsibility.

Nestled on a hillside overlooking the Pacific, the Artist Retreat is conceived as a place for solitude and creative focus. Layered volumes open toward light and landscape, framing shifting views of ocean and sky. The design balances openness with shelter, using natural materials and quiet geometry to cultivate reflection and connection with place.
