The project intertwines spatial complexity with social purpose, offering a network of public spaces that foster collective engagement, reflection, and dialogue.
Located in the wetland landscape of Big Slough and Silver Lake, the design offers a vertical exploration of the natural environment through a carefully articulated watchtower structure. The project merges ecological awareness with spatial complexity, creating an architectural framework for observation, movement, and interaction.
Positioned within the prairie landscape of De Smet, the structure functions as a vertical marker that combines public utility with cultural reference. Its design responds to local narratives and environmental conditions, offering spaces for observation, orientation, and gathering.
Positioned between the Baltic Sea and the Jaunupes River, the Pilgrimage Yoga House is a multifunctional space designed for yoga, meditation, and communal gathering. The project combines sustainable construction with a strong sensitivity to its landscape and users, offering a setting that supports both individual reflection and shared experience.
The project addresses the complexities of urban density while fostering social engagement and pedestrian accessibility by integrating flexible office spaces with vibrant communal areas. The design not only enhances functionality within a constrained urban footprint but also strengthens connections between disparate elements of the city’s fabric.
Located in a small urban center adjacent to open landscape, the structure supports both elevated viewing and pedestrian circulation across its site. Designed to enhance public engagement, it responds to local context through its spatial configuration and material logic.
The Kolka Cabin is a contemporary yoga retreat designed with sustainability, community, and mindfulness at its core. Located in a forested setting near Cape Kolka, the structure serves as both a yoga studio and a communal gathering space.
The project intertwines spatial complexity with social purpose, offering a network of public spaces that foster collective engagement, reflection, and dialogue.
The design addresses the challenges of desert living by integrating sustainable strategies that support self-sufficiency and environmental resilience.
