Renovation for a Cozy Bathing Experience (In-Progress, 2026)
This project expands the original small powder room by using the space under the staircase, creating an alcove that allows for a cozy bathing experience. The locations of the vanity and toilets are also updated to facilitate better circulation. The design of the bathroom implements materially high-end and aesthetically subtle tiles around the bathtub and behind the vanity mirror, coordinated gold-finish fixtures that draw attention, and a storage cabinet. The ledge at the corner of the alcove provides a platform to put tea and candles when bathing, making the experience even more personal. Lastly, the lighting design dedicates two modes: "atmospheric" for a dimmer space and softer reflections, and "functional" for everyday use.

Hillside Residence Attached ADU and House Expansion
This project is a concept design proposal for developing an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in the client's backyard. The design includes converting a portion of the existing house into the ADU program while expanding the building in the rear end of the house to create an upper viewing deck which captures a stunning view of the city. The landscape design also aims to create visual coherency where the client can embrace the view of the backyard terrace while in the living-dining room and use the large patio.

Proposing a New Typology for Traditional Tainwanese Veranda-Style Rowhouses
This project is a design proposal for alternative development methods for the traditional Taiwanese verandah-style row houses. By compromising privately owned and congested spaces, the collective of city dwellers shares a richer living experience. Affordable housing is "income-indexed" housing, encouraged by various incentives, whether political or ethical. Quality and affordable living spaces can be designed by maximizing spatial efficiency and promoting community amenities, prioritizing the well-being of the residents.
The apartment maximizes the spatial efficiency of units and allows the capacity for community amenities, improving the collective quality of life as well as keeping the rent affordable for the city. This reduces the cost of living to facilitate affordability and promotes neighborhood bonding that is otherwise more difficult to achieve in an urban setting.
Affordable Housing Community Park
This project design is commissioned by Lindquist Custom Constructions to create a community garden for the affordable housing at Scott St.
The design includes programming a space for barbequing (and socializing), a memorial fountain, a community garden/farm, exercising equipment,
and the central grass area for children to play.
*Completed in collaboration with Arya Tipre from California College of the Arts (CCA)
Multi-purpose Pier Front Redevelopment
The design serves to create a landform for Cruise Terminal Plaza by elevating the areas affected by the negative stimuli (wind,
vegetation, and noise), which inductively produces a landform that amplifies the positive incentives (hillslides for sunbathing
and a looped deck platform). The park invites daily passersby to enter and rest in the sheltered grass area and to get a better view
of the city on the view decks.
Waterfront Mix-use Programming
This design strives to reprogram Aquatic Park by introducing activities involving the creative and cultural industries, in addition to reorganizing the circulation of the existing park, the design attracts people, who are the true activating agents of the landscape that instill life, energy, and stories to the space. The central ramp allows for street vendors and performers to occupy, and the residual grass areas offer a space for picnicking and for children to play.
Historical and Cultural Heritage Site Planning
This design aims to create a ceremonial site for the cultural heritage of the Ohlone Indian-Americans. By gradually decreasing the widths and heights of the cascading roofs (and therefore the width of the pathways), people experience spatial compression as they traverse the alternating light and shadows, also funneling traffic. The campfire gathering space at the terminal invites a moment of silence and appreciation, as well as an opportunity for locals to bond and share their stories with each other.
