This effort rests on space, the z-dimension, deep light, depth of façade, iteration, and a critical questioning of the default decisions you make in your work, including aperture typologies (doors and windows), reliance on hot forms, pancake stacking, overrelaiance on program, and two-dimensional thinking.
Design priorities:
Rigor
Spatial and sectional quality of interior spaces
The urban
Light
Façade
Thoughtfulness and generosity in the Z-dimension
The overhead plane
Iteration
Design from the inside to the outside, from the top-down
