Kizuna Community commercial project: senior living facility

concept Torii gates align with both the client's mission to offer high-level care and to celebrate the cultural richness of Japan. The design incorporates linear spaces that connect seamlessly with the exterior, natural materials, and vibrant colors with an overall minimalist design to emulate the sacred gates, transforming the facility into a harmonious space that honors the significant life transition of the residents.

Levels 4 through 9 were dedicated for the living spaces of the residents - where a bedroom, bathrooom, living room, and tea kitchen allow for comfort and encourage independence.

Rheó Restaurant a commercial project located in Mission Bay

concept & floorplan

Formed during the programming phase when completing research about Mission Bay history, salt marshes prove to be an exceptional concept by themselves, being the most biologically diverse and productive ecosystem in the world and acting as an important transition zone between land and water. The design extrapolates the concept, introducing earth tones, organic shapes, and clustering of zones that resemble the hammocks of a marsh.

The demonstration kitchen offers an intimate experience between the guests and the chef where a custom island becomes not just an area for viewing, but where engagement and interaction occurs

In the space, it was key to have thoughtful transitions - reflectant of the concept. Thus the transition between the reception space and bar area becomes the sleek, tinted glass that offers connection but maintains privacy.

Custom units, such as the banquette and builtin shelf in the living room, allowed the design to carry the classical look into each area in a unique way, with the ability to carefully select materials that best fit the concept and client’s desired aesthetic.

Although the second floor is primarily used by employees, the same level of care is continued in the design, ensuring the users feel equally valued and appreciated.

Bold material choices create a memorable “wow” moment, while thoughtfully designed seating provides comfort during waiting periods.

This collection of images were all captured on a Canon Rebel T6 with postproduction occuring in Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom.

furniture design While the base goal of this project was to design and build a unique chair that was fully functional, the end design went beyond basic functionality and comfort to provide multi-use with the inclusion of a small shelf. The V i v i a n C h a i r provides space for a cup of coffee, some books, or other storage space while allowing comfort and sleekness.
