Hyphae Residential / Alternative Living System2023
Hyphae is an interchangeable, multicellular system for living. Housing creatives, engineers, and environmentalists, Hyphae offers income-based micro housing and creative studio spaces for a new way of living. Built within a sustainable growth system, the space evolves and harbors a symbiotic relationship between humans and nature.

Lichen itself is a symbiotic relationship between fungus and algae. One creates energy, while the other is a protective barrier. Without one another, it would not be such a forceful component in nature. Adopting the aspects of mutualism into Hyphae – we, as humans and nature, can live harmoniously – growing and evolving, as we change our human existence to live more alike and in sync with the patterns of nature.

Aimai Table Lamp
Lighting Design2022

K5 is a Swedish-Japanese inspired boutique hotel, built on the idea of Aimai – meaning vague, obscure, and blurring cultures, lines, and ideas.

Designed with the essences of it’s location – the historic ‘Water City’ – this table lamp captures the motions, transparency, and organic forms of water itself. Mixing that with the colors of Edo period art – this light blurs perceptions and uplifts the moment.

Renewal
Pavilion2021

Renewal was designed as a space to meditate on the ways in which we can't reverse what's been done, but we can move forward with intention. It is a reaction of the old Los Angeles Zoo – the heaviness that proceeds the location. Stepping from dark confinements to openness, light, and life – we are reminded by way of the walking procession, that we must co-exist. For if we are there for nature, nature will be there for us.

Gohar WorldMarket / Restaurant / Bar / Cafe2023
Being familiar yet unexpected in subtly obsure ways – Gohar World is the neighborhood unhomely home, where you gather with your friends to eat, drink, and shop together. The humor and mystery of the space is built upon tension through unusual pairings. Gohar World is where the community comes together to enjoy each others company, while taking nothing too seriously.
