- 3. World-renowned chef MasaharuMorimoto’s creations are a unique fusion of Western food with Japanese technique. While the flavors of each dish are thoughtfully crafted, the artistry doesn’t end there - plating and presentation makes up half of the experience of dining at Morimoto. This exclusive Dallas restaurant fuses traditional Japanese art with a mysterious contemporary atmosphere. Spotlights cast shadows of moving people onto rice paper-embedded resin panels lining the main corridor, imitating the style of Sumi-e painting which captures the “essence” of its subject matter, using only different concentrations of ink to create depth and form. The flow of moving, ever-changing shadows creates a dynamic interior that serves as a neutral backdrop for Morimoto’s exquisite presentations.

As patrons and waitstaff pass, their shadows are cast on the rice paper-embedded curved resin panels, creating a living art backdrop for the dining areas.
- 5. AMANDA AND ZACH’S PENTHOUSERESIDENCE The clients for this residence design were a brother and sister. Both are avid collectors of objets d’art -Amanda is a fan of EvaZeisel ceramics, while Zach appreciates the craft of Japanese puzzle boxes. Inspiration for this space was drawn from the aesthetics of each siblings’ preferred objects. Eva Zeisel’s ceramics offer sensual curves modeled after the human body, produced in jewel tones and neutral shades of clay. In contrast, Japanese puzzle boxes utilize rigid geometry to conceal sliding panels, with beautiful designs created by parquetry and marquetry of various wood grains. These complementary elements guided the selection of colors, materials, finishes, furniture and fixtures in this space.

CEILING PLAN ELEVATION A ELEVATION B MATERIALS A B Zeisel’s ceramics are reflected in the iridescent glass tile mosaic, raw silk drapes, subdued jewel tone paint and acid-stained concrete floors. Hints of raw natural materials are added with the use of soapstone countertops and a stacked shale accent wall. To counter the stone’s coolness, linear architectural accents use several varieties of wood in different stains and grains to reference the construction of the puzzle boxes.
- 7. MODERNIST ELEGANCE BOUTIQUE HOTELROOM Design for this boutique hotel room was derived from Modernist aesthetics. Form follows function in the furniture and fixtures. Anadjustablebedandmechanicaldesklamp nod to the idea of the “machine for living.” Red is a bold accent in this limited color palette inspired by a print by El Lissitsky. Black poche forms add angular dynamic to an otherwise almost-square room, offering storage and shelf space. The poche forms and canopy house cove lighting in the reveals.A curtain pocket is concealed within one of the forms to allow the curtain to be fully retracted out of sight.

- 8. CONTEMPORARY ZEN BOUTIQUE HOTELROOM A zen lifestyle focuses on tranquility, simplicity, connecting with nature. Borrowing simple, clean lines fromJapanese minimalism, the Contemporary Zen room is a space to find one’s inner peace. A fountain feature on the wall offers the soothing sounds of water trickling over rocks to quiet the mind. Bamboo screens partially obscure views from the door toward the bed, and separate the work area from the sleeping area. Botanically inspired accents remind the visitor to be mindful of the natural world outside. SECTION A SECTION BFLOOR PLAN A B
- 9. Ouachita Healthcare andRehabilitation Center, Gasaway Gasaway Bankston Architects The project on which Harvest Manor Nursing Home was based, designed for the same client. While working as an intern at Gasaway Gasaway Bankston Architects, I was assigned to create Photoshop renderings for a new construction nursing home. Provided with the linework, color palette and floor design, I produced these renderings for a client presentation. The clients have traditional taste and prefer a neutral color palette. Most of the residents are confined to the facility a majority of the time. Something as simple as going to the in-house salon is a nice break from their regular routine. To make the visits to the salon a departure from the norm, the salon has a transitional style with bolder colors to differentiate it from the rest of the facility.

- 10. GUO PEI FLAGSHIP STORE Hautecouture designer Guo Pei’s creations exude theatricality. Designing for her own fashionstudioaswellasstageperformances, she uses traditional luxurious materials like embroidered silk and fur in an avant garde, structured way. The Rodeo Drive flagship store provides a modern, industrial counterpoint to Guo’s extravagant garments. In theatre, behind the elegance of the front-of-house lies the practical structure supporting the venue. This space plays on the existing structure to accentuate the grand crafstmanship of the garments.
- 11. SECTION A SECTION B FLOORPLAN A B Exposed steel beams and columns support an industrial chandelier and metal tracks lining the perimeter. Modular display panels of different materials can be placed in a variety of ways on the metal tracks, providing a multitude of options for displaying Guo’s garments and accessories. Beneath the chandelier, curved laminate panels in an anodized red metal finish radiate from the center. This “front-of-house” area displays the haute couture outfits while providing a seating area for the “audience.” An elevated platform serves as an area for window displays. A slightly inclined ramp “runway” leads to the elevated fitting area, where guests can emerge from behind the curtain of their fitting room to show off their garments to the waiting audience. Another metal laminate form on the exterior slightly obscures the window display, tantalizing pedestrians with a glimpse of Guo’s designs as if through an opening in the theater’s curtain.
- 12. POP-UP SHOP Bonobos’ MeatpackingDistrict pop-up shop invites pedestrians to explore through the use of eye-catching display pieces and a bright, contrasting palette. The online clothing vendor needed a temporary brick- and-mortar location in their hometown - NYC. Ease of installation and mobility was a key element for this design. “Alive-ness”, an art installation seen along NYC’s High Line, utilizes an optical camouflage pattern that dazzles the eye. Inspired by this art piece, the pop-up shop’s design excites its patrons with the exuberant, playful character of the Bonobos brand.
- 13. FLOOR PLAN KEY ELEVATION -RIGHT WALL ELEVATION - LEFT WALL At the time, Bonobos was an exclusive online retailer with occasional pop-up shops. One of the requirements for this shop was a “digital lounge” where customers could engage with Bonobos’ usual online presence. The digital lounge provides an area to sit and socialize with a Bonobos representative while participating in live updates to Bonobos’ social media presence.
