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 areas where the walls concave in suggest private spaces. A part of the exterior wall left of the entrance has been demolished in order to continue the etched layered glass wall. Its purpose is to bring light into the building and creat a more airy feel.

Physical Study Model
The hybrid model exhibits is the main design for the whole project. First a pattern was etched on 1/8� thick acrylic, laser cut along curves, and then stacked 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 is the interior of a retail space in Melbourne, Australia called the GPO. My brief was to 3d-model a particular area within the building, 3d-print an installation concept, and then use a render software to communicate my vision.

03 A PUBLIC BAR
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.
