Alter-House
Year Completed: 2019
When building or a work of architecture becomes associated with mere construction of houses, it becomes habitual, and we tend to forget what we mean by architecture as a place of dwelling. It is our everydayness that dulls our understanding of architecture as a dwelling. Importantly – this project asks us to rethink our understanding of a house – thus its title – Alter-House

Barnacle of the Woodlands
Year Completed: 2022
Along a trail in Cement Creek Redwood Forest, Victoria, lies a massive wooden pavilion that is shaped like a seashell. Made of beautifully finished wood, the giant structure sits amidst the towering redwood trees, looking as though they are ready to project, or perhaps capture sounds from different corners of the woods.
With a persistence of using wood throughout the entire construction, this method of construction inlays the woods together like a puzzle piece, producing a beautiful pavilion in the absence of man-made materials.
