Champlain Financial Office is an ongoing workplace enhancement project focused on bringing warmth and character to an existing office environment through carefully curated artwork and biophilic elements.

Rather than altering the architecture, the proposal builds upon the existing space by introducing a visual language that complements the client's identity while improving the everyday experience of employees and visitors. Artworks, shelving compositions, and greenery were selected to create moments of interest throughout meeting rooms, private offices, and circulation areas, balancing functionality with a calm and welcoming atmosphere.

Every intervention was carefully measured and planned to ensure proper installation, considering sightlines, furniture layouts, and architectural proportions. Material selections and artwork placement were developed to create visual continuity across the office while respecting the project's modest budget. The project demonstrates how thoughtful, small-scale interventions can transform the perception and experience of an existing workplace.

Moment Energy Headquarters is a workplace design project developed for a growing clean technology company. The objective was to create a flexible office environment that reflected the company's collaborative culture while supporting daily operations and future growth.

The design focused on balancing functionality with a welcoming atmosphere through thoughtful space planning, material selection, and furniture coordination. Reception areas, brainstorming rooms, collaborative workspaces, and wellness spaces were carefully developed to encourage teamwork while providing moments for focus and privacy.

A restrained palette of finishes, integrated greenery, and durable materials established a cohesive visual identity throughout the workplace. Furniture systems, custom millwork, and interior finishes were selected to support both operational needs and the company's evolving vision, creating a workplace that encourages collaboration while remaining adaptable over time.

Casa Santa Cecilia is a new residential project where architecture, glazing, and natural light were carefully integrated to shape a home defined by openness and comfort. The project explored how glass could strengthen the relationship between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape while preserving warmth and privacy.

One of the project's defining spaces was the solarium. Situated in a region with frequent rainfall, it required a solution that would provide year-round protection while maintaining the feeling of an inviting living space. Working closely with the architects, different glazing strategies were evaluated to balance architectural intent, engineering requirements, and budget constraints.

The project evolved through continuous collaboration between architects, engineers, contractors, and the client, ensuring every glazing solution could be successfully fabricated and installed while preserving the overall design vision.

Paseo del Torreón Residence is a contemporary private home where custom glazing systems were developed to reinforce the relationship between architecture, natural light, and the surrounding landscape.

A defining feature of the residence was a large recessed sliding glass system composed of five independent panels. The challenge was to engineer a solution that remained effortless to operate despite its size, allowing a single person to open the entire façade from either direction. Achieving this balance required close coordination between architectural design, structural engineering, fabrication, and installation.

Throughout the residence, glazing solutions for bathrooms, interior enclosures, and architectural details were carefully integrated to support a clean and cohesive architectural language while meeting the project's technical requirements.

Commercial and Residential Landscapes brings together a collection of landscape projects focused on restoring existing outdoor environments and creating new planting schemes that strengthen the relationship between architecture and nature.

Each project responded to unique site conditions, requiring thoughtful plant selection, planting layouts, and design strategies that balanced aesthetics, functionality, and long-term maintenance. Whether rehabilitating established landscapes or developing new outdoor environments, the goal was to create spaces that felt natural, welcoming, and appropriate to their surroundings.

Beyond the design process, each installation required close on-site coordination to ensure the landscape was executed according to plan. Construction sequencing, planting logistics, and quality control played an important role in delivering projects where architecture and planting worked together as a unified composition.
