Global economic leaders come together in Davos, Switzerland each year to engage in open discussions, forums, and workshops that inform the directives of businesses worldwide.
Tech companies welcome these attendees into their temporary spaces during the conference. This particular brand revolves around innovation and creativity, so the design of its building should as well.
The acrylic block system installed creates a transparent yet soundproof invitation to the spaces within. The space is primarily divided by public and private, with a coffee bar joining the two. Each move in this design is intended to allow users to feel welcome, inspired and comfortable to collarborate.

Fall 2023, Prof.Bravo
Location: Austin, Texas
Studio: Core Studio IV
In collaboration with: Cameron Farr
Programs: Rhino7, Revit2024, Enscape, InDesign
Located in Wonderspaces of Austin, Texas, this museum focuses on providng an experience of two contrasting emotions. The project explores the emotions ‘wonder’ and ‘anxiety’.
The hope behind the wonder space is to provoke awe and the awareness that the room is bigger than yourself. Guests are invited to follow the curves upward as they take in the scale. The anxiety space encourages just the opposite with the inent that guests feel constricted, on edge, and confused.
Lighting, color, and acoustic design impact the feeling of the space. The layout is intentional to give comfort, remove it and the bring guests back to comfort.
Austin, Texas is the heart of an ever growing community. As the city constantly evolves, so does its shopping experience. This project intended to reimagine retail in an informal sense, showcasing multiple retailers in one.
Inspiration for materiality stayed true to Austin resources and prominent buildings nearby. Located in an area that is being quickly gentrified, it was important to keep Austin genuine. Warm colors of light illuminate the space through stained glass windows.
Limestone is maneuvered to defy its normal use, becoming seating and shelving. Guests are intended to lounge, grab a drink, converse in the conversation pit and emerse themselves in the culture of the city.
Located in Austin, Texas, this micro hotel repurposes the shell of a building on 6th street to benefit the growing population of the city. This project focused on developing a space both inviting to public and private for guests.
Screens inspired by Morrocan architecture allow sunlight onto the celebratory staircase. There is a positive tension between the first and second floor. The screens provide privacy while also bringing a warm environment to the space that all guests can enjoy together.
The curvature of the seating and ceiling drop downs add to the language of fluidity and connection in an effort to give visitors an experience within the interior, themselves and others.
5. Sculpture Garden
Fall 2023, Prof.Lewis,Danze,Rosner
Location: Austin, Texas
Studio: Introductory Studio II Programs: Rhino7, Enscape
The sculpture garden includes an office, viewing room, cafe, and dining room. Stereotomic and techtonic elements blend together. The experience of lighting and shadows became a feature underneath the stairs and inside the hallway to the dining room. Bathrooms are tucked away inside the earth.
Circulation outside the building draws you upward in a spiral. The windows speak the same language and create an openess and invitation of light. Residents can work in private as well as in company. The architecture inspires innovation and thought as residents study.
