Waco Surf Desperado
Visulization
This set of imagery explores storytelling as a form of design: using images to make a future community feel tangible. For Waco Surf, the challenge was not simply visulize a project, but to communicate the atmosphere of a central Texas surf community — its energy, landscape, textures, daily rituals, and sense of belonging. What is it like to be a part of the community? Let’s take you for a tour...

Shanghai Infrastructure Design Competition
1st Place & 2nd Place

What if infrastructure could belong to the city, rather than simply serve it?

In a megacity like Shanghai, infrastructure is everywhere—necessary, immense, and often indifferent to its surroundings. Too important to ignore, yet too utilitarian to be considered architecture. We explored how infrastructure can become more grounded in its context, transforming systems of movement and utility into places with spatial, civic, and human value.

Strange Sound Lab
Installation, In-progress

This project is an attempt to explore the sonic world of unconventional acoustics—spaces where sound behaves unpredictably, revealing its materiality, texture, and emotional depth. As a sound installation, it engages both natural and manmade sounds, integrating spatial ideas that intentionally subvert traditional acoustic logic. These moments are not just heard, but felt—inviting a heightened awareness of one's surroundings and the temporal qualities of sound.

House 1350
Residential, In-progress

This 1,350 square foot home is a compact yet spatially rich dwelling designed around the simplicity of form and the complexity of spatial experience. At the heart of the design is a folded, ridged roof with a carefully shifted gabled profile. This single geometric gesture creates a play of varying ceiling heights, clerestory light entries, and dynamic interior volumes that enhance the perception of living spaces.

This project explores how small footprints can be reimagined through thoughtful sectional manipulation and material clarity, providing both intimacy and openness within a modest domestic scale.

Austin Ave Station
Mixed Use, Adaptive Reuse, In-progress

This adaptive reuse project transforms a 25-by-160-foot historic building into a vibrant, flexible space while preserving its original character. Embracing the building’s long, narrow footprint, the design retains the existing brick façade and a distinctive wall mural, highlighting the layered history of the site. Within this preserved shell, a new mass timber frame is carefully inserted, creating a structural rhythm that supports a range of future uses. This timber intervention not only introduces warmth and material contrast but also enables spatial adaptability—allowing the building to evolve with changing needs while celebrating its past.

The Ribbon
Community, Concept

A Kayak Center located in Bald Eagle State Park, Pennsylvania. A continuous ribbon-like form weaves through the site, twisting and stretching to unite land and water into a dynamic hub. This architectural gesture becomes a meeting point for the park’s diverse natural elements—trees, grasslands, lakeside, water, and the surrounding hills.

The building acts as an extension of the terrain, emerging from the hillside and reaching toward the lake. As it unfolds, it frames immersive views of both land and water, reinforcing the experience of transition between solid ground and fluid motion. The design blurs the boundary between architecture and landscape, inviting visitors to engage with the environment through movement, perspective, and recreation.

Finding Duality
Cutural, Concept

A visitor’s center designed for a historical stone dolmen. The design is, as the opposite of the existing, a linear and modularized space. Divided by a single surface, the side facing the monument is for public use; the other side is for administrative and research uses. This design discusses the co-existing condition of the old and the new, halves and one.

33 Thomas St. Adaptive Reuse
Residential, Concept

Vision for the existing structure will directly influence the efficiency of a proposal. Compatibility of structure and programs is of high priority. Given that 33 Thomas St. had a never-built second phase next to it, we propose to build a ‘ghost structure’ where the second phase was supposed to be. The old structure with limited bay sizes houses administration and affordable housing. The new structure features large column-less spaces that could fulfill needs for required social infrastructures such as swimming pool, sports court, and park.

Mummer’s Museum
Cutural

This project envisions a floating wardrobe for the Mummers organization in Philadelphia—an architectural response that embodies the unique spirit of the Mummers Parade and its vibrant culture. Unlike traditional museums that often center on solemn, weighty historical artifacts, this museum celebrates costumes—objects that are soft, translucent, colorful, and in constant motion.

The floating wardrobe becomes a metaphor for these qualities: lightness, joy, and transformation. It expresses the theatricality of the parade while also serving as a civic space for the city. More than a storage or display facility, this wardrobe invites interaction. It is a living stage that supports not only the Mummers community but also the broader public, offering space for gathering, celebration, and urban life.
