Exploring form, material, and light through thoughtful design
LUMA House is a small, light-filled retreat designed to sit gently within its landscape. Its curved form softens the boundary between built space and nature, while the glass facade allows daylight to move freely through the interior. The structure feels calm and grounded, offering openness without losing privacy. LUMA House is meant to be a quiet place for rest, reflection, and simple living, shaped by light, material, and its surroundings.
Infinity is a figure-eight shelter designed as a shared space for pause and connection. Its looping form creates two intimate areas linked by a central crossing, allowing people to gather, rest, and move naturally within the landscape. The design explores the infinity shape through sketches, focusing on curved seating and wood as the main material. The figure-eight form creates two connected areas that feel social, comfortable, and open to light and nature.
