Shav Ferre, a high end fashion icon, has its headquar ters in the downtown district of San Francisco, CA. The purpose of its current renovation is to showcase their leading innovative and contemporar y design practices. The vision behind the interior design challenges traditional office environments by addressing three key concerns within any office: productivity, organization, and collaboration.

FLOW 02
I wanted to utilize the natural light coming from the ceiling into the space of the retail space called the GPO in Melbourne, Australia. The installation makes inhabitants feel engulfed by a massive structure while not only seeming weightless but also being able to refract the light onto different areas within the space.
CONCEPT
3D MODEL What initially began as a concept to bring people together under one large structure turned into the fabrication of an organic shape that would occupy an entire interior space. I imagine the shape to be formed through molding glass.

PLEAT 03
Pleat is a wall installation within the Diane Von Furstenberg Headquarters in New York city. It separates a VIP retail space from the general shopping area. The walls have a pleated surface to reflect the client’s role in the fashion industry.

03 Because the Diane Von Furstenburg company is a fashion brand, I wanted to test out different techniques used in fashion as my main design focus. Pleating created the most interesting surface in its simplicity. After using tape to hold the structure with tape, I conducted further material studies to derive a pleated surface with aluminum who’s shape is independent of reinforcements.

Previously an abandoned warehouse in central downtown of San Jose, this space has been renovated to accommodate a horticulturalist, a pop-up restaurant, and a residential space. The central theme behind the design was movement. Being geographically located in the busy central business district of the downtown, movement is a huge factor of the culture. The design carries out the theme through the walls and on the structural surface of the walls. The areas where the walls concave in suggest private spaces.

STUDY MODELS CURVE I was attracted to the idea of a curved wall because of the organic character it gives to a surface
ETCHING I liked how etching a transparent surface like acrylic plays with transparency.

HYBRID OF STUDY MODELS HYBRID The hybrid model exhibits is the main design for the whole project. With a laser cutter, I etched a pattern etched on 1/8� thick acrylic, laser cut along curves, and then stacked each piece on top of one another. This process was repeated for every wall inside the physical model. It was also tested against light to study how the translucent material would reflect as it passes along the curves.

This space used to be an office in the suburb of Fitzroy in Melbourne, Australia. Transfomed into an exclusive bar that caters to ten to fifteen people. A Public Bar combines the class of a wine bar with the ambiance of a pub. It uses a continuous design throughout the interior that recedes to give the impression of a separate space. Due to the bar only serving a small amount of people, the geometric design of the ceiling was continued into the seats to come down as one form.
