NATIONAL GEO -
Office / Retail / Cafe / Galerie / Community
San Francisco, CA
Software Used : Revit, Enscape, Illustrator, Photoshop
The National Geographic Center project captures the essence of discovery and adventure, inspired by the misty redwood landscape of San Francisco’s Presidio. I contributed to designing an immersive experience that seamlessly blends nature with modern functionality.
The lobby mimics a dense forest with hanging wood details and textured stone, leading into an exhibition space featuring frosted glass partitions and NASA imagery. The retail area contrasts with an open, minimalist design, while workspaces emphasize flexibility and connection to nature through exposed ceilings and organic materials. Private offices, designed as secluded “hidden places,” enhance focus and immersion. The café and kitchenette offer inviting spaces with a balance of rustic and modern aesthetics. This project highlights my ability to integrate natural elements into functional, engaging environments.
