Overview

Revitalizing the industrial shell

Interior architecture + Adaptive Reuse

To adapt and transform an existing industrial shell into a creative hub. Located in the winter-heavy college town of Providence, the shell is identified as underutilized and transformed into an indoor collaborative hub for creatives, making it a contextual asset.

Craft X Curate

Designing for hospitality and leisure

Designing for hospitality and leisure in way that speaks to the themes of 'retreat' and 'quiet comfort'. The focus is on visual coherence, user experience, and intentional material selection to foster a calming environment for both the visual and tactile senses. Attention to mirroring curated details in both elements to be made and sourced ensures a cohesive package.

Retail X Repair

Interior architecture + Adaptive Reuse

To transform a Boston brownstone into a host for fashion retail brands that are repair centric in their ethos, in a way that speaks to them. The adaptation applies a minimalist display system translating into the space, the brand’s ethos. It also blends retail and community spaces with interventions that appear pop and vibrant, and are yet minimal in impact reflecting the very brands they represent.

Sleek & Groove

A duo that seamlessly blends function and aesthetic

To create functional and bespoke products that seamlessly fit into contemporary interior spaces. By departing from strong colors and motifs and applying light, sleek, and groovy form, it is designed to be a versatile addition to any space.
