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.
Laneway House is a compact urban infill project designed to support real family living on a tight lot. The concept uses a steel plate-inspired exterior language, which is expressed through the dark, grounded facade and crisp panel rhythm. Inside, the layout is planned to be efficient but generous, with clear circulation, practical storage, and flexible shared spaces that can support day-to-day routines over time. The project balances durability, comfort, and livability, showing how a laneway home can be both architecturally strong and genuinely functional for a family.
This bathroom is designed for those who appreciate minimal spaces that still feel intentional and meaningful. Every element serves a purpose, creating a clean and calming environment without excess. Warm lighting softens the space at night, transforming it into a more intimate and relaxing atmosphere.
AI was used as a tool throughout the design process to explore variations, test ideas, and visualize possibilities quickly. Rather than replacing design thinking, it supported it, helping refine the concept and push the project further while keeping the focus on human experience.
I’m Kim Vu, an interior designer and aspiring architect. I’m passionate about creating places that bring people together and make everyday life feel a little more meaningful.
Design has always been a big part of my life. I grew up around it, and over time it became something I truly connected with. I love the idea that a well-designed place can shape how people feel, interact, and experience the world around them.
For me, design is about people first. I want to create environments that feel welcoming, inspiring, and memorable. Spaces where people can connect, feel comfortable, and create moments that matter.
