Contemporary architecture rooted in context, landscape, and considered design
Selected Works
​ARCHITECTURE IN CONTEXT
Rooted in the desert context, the project is shaped by climate, landscape, and material restraint.
The architecture balances shelter and openness, creating a architectural composition within its remote setting.
MATERIAL FORM
Architectural detail highlighting material choices, texture, and refined construction elements. Detailing is purposeful and restrained, allowing the building to sit quietly within its context while responding to both climate and function.
A striking view of Dead Valley Lodge capturing the interplay of architectural form and dramatic desert landscape,showcasing harmony with its environment.
INTEGRATED DESIGN
Even within the desert context, the interiors respond to the environment through calm, restrained design and material choice. The bathroom is composed with careful attention to light, proportion, and texture, creating a serene and functional space that complements the building’s robust exterior. Subtle detailing and durable finishes ensure continuity with the surrounding landscape while providing comfort and refinement.
SPATIAL REFINEMENT
The interior culminates in a space that is both intimate and expansive, reflecting the quiet grandeur of its desert surroundings. Natural light filters through carefully positioned openings, accentuating textures and materials chosen for their warmth and resilience. Every element, from fixtures to finishes, echoes the landscape outside, creating a harmonious dialogue between interior and environment.
