DIARY
By allowing time to be made visible, the original spirit and materials of the site are honored while carefully retaining its patina and history. The reductive approach strips away the superfluous, allowing essential forms and textures to emerge with clarity. Underpinning this is a sensitivity to phenomenology—the way light, shadow, sound, and spatial rhythm shape how a space is felt, not just seen—resulting in environments that are as emotionally resonant as they are visually restrained.
