A house built
from the ground up.

House Zero explores the intersection of 3D-printed concrete construction and warm, hand-crafted interiors. The result is a home that feels both experimental and deeply livable.

The project required close coordination between architecture and interior design — assembled as a single Kit.

Completed while working at Lake Flato Architects.

A hotel that
feels like a home.

Hotel Otis is a midcentury hotel in Harbor Springs, Michigan. The project focused on the redesign of the lobby and common areas — bringing warmth and considered detail back to the shared spaces while preserving the character of the original building. Guest rooms were not part of the scope.

Completed while working at Michael Hsu Office of Architecture.

Living with
intention.

The Waller is a residential project that asks what it means to live deliberately. Warm materials, quiet proportions, and a restrained palette combine to create spaces that feel both grounded and open — designed for how people actually live.

Shared space
that builds community.

MKT is a major mixed-use adaptive reuse development in Houston. Directed design across programming, schematic, and design development phases, with close attention to how shared space can cultivate community and social connection across a diverse urban constituency.

Where the city
meets the trail.

The Terminal at Katy Trail is a food and beverage destination anchored by its relationship to the trail itself — a warm, layered interior that draws energy from outside and gives it back to the neighbourhood.

A house shaped
by the land.

Manistique is a single-family residence designed in response to its northern landscape — a building that settles into the site with a quiet confidence, using natural materials to extend the logic of the land indoors.

Quiet restraint,
quietly lived in.

44 East is a high-rise residential project that balances the scale of the building with the intimacy of home — a material palette of warm oak, limestone, and soft plaster that makes large spaces feel considered and personal.

Completed while working at Michael Hsu Office of Architecture.

A home rooted
in its suburb.

Rollingwood Residence is a complete residential project — architecture and interior working as a single discipline. The design takes cues from the neighbourhood's mature trees and quiet streets, creating a house that feels rooted and generous.

Completed while working at Michael Hsu Office of Architecture.

Built around
the open air.

Courtyard House organises living around a central outdoor room — a protected courtyard that brings light and air deep into the plan. The architecture is quiet, the materials are few, and the courtyard does the work.

An amenity space
above the river.

The Hearth is an amenity space and lookout point for a rural high-end housing development in Bastrop, Texas. The building overlooks the river running through Bastrop, framing the landscape as a continuous presence throughout the experience of the space.

A house built for
efficiency and soul.

Supercube is a speculative residential project investigating how spatial and cost efficiency can coexist with architectural quality. The project asks a fundamental question: what is the minimum footprint required to support a full, rich life — and how can that constraint become a design opportunity rather than a limitation?
