Projects
Six ways to draw the fifth wall.
Each project is an attempt to make belonging visible in built form — sometimes at the scale of a chair, sometimes at the scale of a neighborhood.
01 · Ongoing
The Fifth Wall
The overarching signature project — an evolving practice and research studio dedicated to designing spaces of belonging.
02 · Xinjiang, China
Xinjiang Community Library
A converted courtyard house that became a village reading room, book by book, wall by opening.
03 · Guangdong, China
Factory Rest Space
A quiet room inside a factory — for a shift break that felt like a room of one's own.
04 · Object
Wave Chair
A single piece of furniture designed as a study in welcome — the smallest possible architecture of belonging.
05 · Chicago, IL
Chicago Church Renovation
Renewing a small neighborhood church so its door felt as important as its altar.
06 · Speculative
Future Design Concepts
In-progress speculations: a public bench that invites lying down. A doorway with no threshold. A city block without walls.
