ECHOES: PRECEDENTS WOVEN INTO MY THINKING
01
SPACE
Compression & Release - AD Residence by Yama Architecture
Spatial porosity & permeability - Large openings and layered thresholds extends the interior into the courtyard. Hillcrest Residence by Kelly Wearstler
Mass and Void - Solid, monolithic concrete volume and breezeway void.
Merida House by Ludwig Godefroy
Vertical Spatial Promenade - BAMPFA by Mario Ciampi
Latent Space - Wohnung by Laborette
Echoes, precedents woven into my thinking, define the architecture of a space through the harmony of volume and void. My practice investigates how these historical and structural resonance points orchestrate human motion and psychological response, uncovering nuanced layers within every threshold. Design is a living dialogue between context and innovation, where the rhythm of light and shadow creates an immersive environment that honors the continuity of the built world.

MATERIAL
Tactile materials — Starburst stepped bone by Ironies
Living Metals - Patinated metals, bronze and blackened steel
The choice of material defines the tactile reality of a space. My practice is centered on the honesty of raw substances, using textures to invite touch and authentic finishes to ground the sensory experience.
Hand applied plaster and lime wash finishes - Greenwich hotel by Axel Vervoordt
Woven natural textiles, boucle and raw silk
Warm ambient lighting and a muted earthy palette
03
LIGHT
Lights reveals material, using shadow and contrast to give weight, depth and atmosphere. Therme Vals by Peter Zumthor
Light dissolves boundaries, transforming space into an immersive field of perception. Ganzfeld by James Turrell
The way light sculpts space defines its character. My work is a constant negotiation between the seen and the unseen, using luminosity to guide the eye and shadow to provide weight and depth.
04
FORM
Mass & lightness, weight rendered weightless
Residence by Nicolas Schuybroek
Stone 27 by Benjamin Langholz
Tulip Chair by Eero Saarinen
Biomorphic Form - Natural systems translated into form, from macro structures to micro patterns
Scale Distortion – familiar forms are exaggerated. Proportions itself become the statement. Olivetto Showroom by Carlo Scarpa
Repition and rhythm establish a sense of flow and movement
Form reveals itself through contrast, distortion, and rhythm.
Mass becomes light, familiar shapes are stretched and re-scaled, and repetition turns structure into pattern.
Together, these studies show how shifting proportion and sequence can transform objects into spatial experiences.
05
OBJECT
Honesty of Material - grain, joinery, and structure left visible rather than concealed, the making shown rather than hidden
Hand of the Maker - surfaces that carry tool marks, hand-carving, or visible process as part of the finished form
Structural Logic as Ornament

Process as Form - freezing pneumatic latex into rigid load bearing furniture through layered resin casting. Blowing Series by Seugjin Yang
Function pushed toward Sculpture.
Chest of drawers by Wendell Castle
Furniture and industrial objects are the tactile connection between the user and the space. I focus on the honesty of materials and the sculptural potential of functional forms, where every detail reveals the hand of the maker.
06
MEMORY
A space is remembered through sensation more than sight, compression before release, rough before warm, sound and scent anchoring what the eye forgets. Patina, shadow and sequence turn a space into something the body carries with it.
