CON FESS The project not only challenges the traditional idea of space and body, perceiving them as equal objects; but also generates conventional confessing notions into fully self-reflective experience. A semi-open form engages with the body,suggesting the act of homogenized. Offset printing aluminum plates are implemented as materiality, offering an ambivalent reflectiveness. The texture allows the occupant gains an illusion of solitary and develops sense of concession.
Form Finding The room invites rather than encloses completely. Leaving the occupant to choose between facing outside and facing the corner.

B RIDGIN G The design proposes performing stages within a residential space for a musician family with four members. Hence, a unity of separation and coherence need to be created, the apartment should provides spaces of intimacy while also accommodating for a group of guests by distributing people to certain areas. Due to the size limitation, certain areas need to have dual functionality to compensate the lack of room.

First Floor
DESIGN STRATEGY The design stretches out the limitation of the space, allows performing space, by adding flexible of certain area. There are three performing stages within this residential space that in general are stair landing, instrument storage and child musical practice room. Different level of these platforms creates a hierarchy, therefore music flow from 3 different direction, where it bounces off surrounding walls for room- filling sound.
“ANTI”- NETWORKING Mobile technology enables us to stay connected with one another. However, increasing reliance on social media creates instant connectivity, which adds underlying pressure for people to networkeverywhere and at anytime. This project proposes an “anti”- networking space, which allows occupants to control their level of desire for social engagement, through the use of double sided window. Different activity platforms provide hierarchies at eye level to avoid direct contact, which prevent people from being obligated to participate in conversations. The different hierarchal levels allow occupants to only see parts of the other persons within the space (head,feet,torso,etc.) This creates a unique focal perspective, which offers intriguing possibilities for social interaction in the digital age.
CIRCULATION OF HOST AND GUEST Host activities may remains in the first floor. Bedroom is at the right corner all the way in the back for privacy. Kitchen and bathroom are shared area. Most Guests activities happen on the second floor and the shared kitchen.

SPACIAL FUNCTIONALITY The space divided into three areas , host, common and guest. Host bedroom is at the right corner all the way in the back, reserve most privacy. Each guests has own personal space, with double sided window which allow occupants to control their desires of social engagement. The different hierarchal levels prevent direct eye contact to each other, releasing being obligated to start a conversation.

H AVA N A 21st Century Cuba is much more diverse than it was when initially colonized by the Spanish. In order to take back ownership of the country, locals implemented their own Cuban flair on to the Colonial architecture. Hostel La Habana Nuevo becomes an interior/exterior space where theeclectic cultural elements of Cuba and its visiting cultures are able to weave together, deepening its unique “Tropical Deco” style. Eclectic cultural elements of Cuba and its visiting cultures are able to weave together, deepening its unique “Tropical Deco” style. Using waste materials from sugar cane cultivation, the local craft of rattan weaving was reinterpreted into an organic structure thatinfiltrates the Colonial building. This facility serves as a local hub for performance art,infomation, and local commerce, allowing for the integration of cultures from around the world.
R EC EP TIO N D E S K
Welcoming visitors into the hostel, the reception area highlights the use of traditional cement tiles of Cuba. Its most descriptive feature is the 360-degree reception desk which becomes a gatekeeper in between the private and public wings of the building. With a ceiling height of 20’, reception is among the spaces that use heavy, bold and bulky furniture that counterbalance the void..
TR AVEL CE N T E R L O U N G E
The long public lounge embodies several programs. Besides lounging, it is also an information center encouraging visitors to explore the richness of Cuba and its local culture. Accent pieces such as the large couch resemble the look of upholstered Art Deco furniture while the juxtaposition with modern silhouettes once again put forth the idea of eclecticism.
TER RACE
Modern outdoor lounging furniture with a resemblance of rattan weaving is used to activate the exterior views of the building. With its key location between indoor dining and outdoor balconies, the terrace becomes another interior/exterior space and this transition is made visible with the use of ventilation systems and faded colors as opposed to highly saturated ones.
DO RM BE DRO O M
Bearing in mind that the visitors are unlikely to know each other beforehand, personal storage and privacy become key questions in this space. Solving the problem with simple furniture arrangement and orientation, the bedrooms reveal one of the many promising properties of the weave structure which is its ability to form habitable objects/spaces..
AGE OF TINDER Dating has entered the age of Tinder. While online dating has been one of the most popular ways to meet people, very few of those people ever meet in physical space. This thesis proposes a Tinder hub, which converts digital analysis of the tinder algorithm into physical infrastructure. Tinder tries to match up users with common interest by analyzing data from social media. The physical hub proposes implementing a similar analysis focusing the type of matches ones encounters while increasing their chances of running

PROFESSION A L WORK
DISTRICT COWORK District Cowork is a coworking space located in Midtown Manhattan. The building was under renovation when I join the company. Working as an interior designer assistant, I helped the design team with drafting furniture layouts, contacting and following up with vendors to make sure project meets the deadline, along with creating posters for marketing. Space is design for innovators to collaborate, hence space is divided into the private and open area. The third floor focuses on private offices which incorporate many minimal decors. The second floor is made for open tablespace which is filled with vintage elements to portray a cozy sensation to bring people together.
