CONCEPT

I explored how each area could connect fluidly, balancing circulation with programmatic intent I assigned verbs to each space, giving the design a sense of movement and life from the start.

M E T S A

Metsa was a project that explored collaboration and craf tsmanship while designing a student housing community for the University of Helsinki. Partnering with another designer, I learned to set aside ego and embrace the power of combining perspectives

Designing in Finland's unique climate and cultural context presented challenges that forced me to rethink my approach, especially regarding light, thermal comfort, and materials. The project’s title, “Metsa,” meaning “woodland” in Finnish, reflects its setting in a lush, wooded area and inspired the integration of natural elements and sustainable strategies.

This experience deepened my skills in sof tware, sustainable design, and ecoconscious architecture, teaching me how to balance creativity with technical precision to create innovative, environmentally responsible solutions.

A modular system is implemented in the building's apartment units, with a 10' x 22' studio serving as the basic building block This approach ensures uniformity, reduces material usage, and shortens construction time.
