ABOVE: Even in an urban setting, taking advantage of natural light is key in my designs. In this master bathroom, I used its top-floor
location to create a corner-windowed bathing perch augmented by a skylight, enhancing the sense of connection to weather and
seasonal changes.
LEFT: The living room features a naturally lit, two-story, vegetated green wall cascading down f rom beneath a section of clear-glass
flooring within a solarium two floor stories above. The light slot infuses daylight and greenery into every level.
FACING PAGE: A European-style kitchen with center peninsula gracefully separates cooking and dining areas and accommodates a
variety of functions, f rom studying to food service. A wall cabinet surrounded on all four sides by windows serves the dual purpose of
blocking an unwanted exterior view while providing generous natural lighting.
