WORLD WILDLIFE FUND OFFICE ACADEMIC

The WWF Office Design project reimagines the workplace as a restorative, nature-connected environment that supports the mission of the World Wildlife Fund. Rooted in principles of sustainability, biophilic design, and wellness, this office space fosters a strong connection between people and nature while promoting comfort, focus, and collaboration. The design features enclosed bamboo partition connected with the HVAC system, a vertical green wall, and abundant natural daylight to enhance air quality, regulate temperature, and bring greenery into the built environment. A clear public-to-private spatial sequence ensures intuitive circulation and supports a balanced work experience in a calm, eco-conscious setting.

VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT ACADEMIC

Our objective is for the Interior Design and Visual Communication Design student groups to collaborate on researching, conceptualizing, and crafting a design for a restaurant that embodies a distinct cultural identity.

This design aims to effectively convey the essence of the designated cuisine, providing customers with an immersive and memorable dining encounter through a integration of graphic and interior elements.

Partnered with: Saniya Hardin, Nihkiya Kennedy, Daymond Chan

CORE MULTIGENERATIONAL HOUSING ACADEMIC

This project interweaves generations, households, and daily rituals into a shared living environment. It creates spaces where community and home overlap, allowing people of all ages to connect and support one another through shared amenity spaces, shaping a resilient model for multi-generational living in the city.

Soft carpet floors reduce impact and noise, supporting kids at play, elders with sensitive joints, and overall calm behavior.

LEVEL 1 FLOOR PLAN

Wellness room offers a dedicated quiet retreat for prayer, meditation, stretching, or therapy, supporting emotional regulation.

Outdoor green area encourages daily movement, casual social encounters between generations, and supervised play for children.

Abundant indoor plants create a biophilic connection, shown to reduce anxiety, support attention, and invite gentle care-taking behaviors.

STUDIO UNIT AXON & PLAN

Open living, dining, and kitchen form a generous gathering space for large family events.

Continuous glazing along the living side gives everyone equal access to views and daylight.

Proximity of kitchen to dining table supports shared cooking and multigenerational meals.

Bedrooms at opposite ends create acoustic and visual separation for different generations (e.g., grandparents at one end, parents/child at the other).

Large central living area acts as a shared family hub for meals, TV, and play.

Bathroom near entry serves guests and day-time use without crossing private zones.

DUPLEX LEVEL 1 UNIT AXON & PLAN

Bathroom are located for easy access from bedroom and living space, reducing conflict around daily routines.

7HR CHARETTE PERSONAL

A warm, flexible cafe-and-amenity loop that flows from buzz to calm.

Soft curves, can-lid circles, and honest materials nod to the brand without going literal.

DHAKA PERSONAL

This building in Dhaka reimagines academic space by integrating traditional brick architecture with fluid, nature-inspired forms that embrace the region's monsoon climate and dense urban texture. It acts as a living ecosystem, channeling wind, harvesting rainwater, and cultivating rooftop greenery to foster a sustainable, community-rooted educational environment.
