Walk in the Park
Flat open spaces don't really invite lingering, but a surface that rises and falls creates natural pockets, somewhere to sit, somewhere to lean, somewhere a kid can climb. The attractor point became the social center, and the terraces around it felt like they were pulling people in without having to tell them where to go
Eliminate the Echo
A room's acoustics shape how it feels to be in it, probably more than most people realize. I was designing for a space that should feel calm somewhere you can think or have a real conversation without raising your voice. The hanging cylinders are doing acoustic work, but they're also visual. I liked that the wave pattern gives the ceiling a softness and a direction, something that draws the eye without demanding attention.
Put on a Happy Facade
A perforated facade has to balance a few practical things, letting light in, controlling views, giving the building some personality from the street. I used two attractor points because it breaks up the symmetry and keeps the wall from reading as a repeating pattern. The openings get bigger around each attractor and smaller in between, which gives the facade rhythm without making it feel chaotic.
