Context
A study in permeability between built structure and cultivated landscape. The project proposes a seasonal pavilion that adjusts its enclosure according to growing cycles rather than human schedules.
Research
- Historical allotment typologies in the Moscow region
- Material behaviour under freeze-thaw cycles
- User interviews with urban gardeners, n=12
Design Development
Three iterations of skeletal structures tested in 1:10 models. The final scheme uses a repeating timber module sized to standard horticultural mesh panels, allowing residents to replace cladding with climbing plants over two growing seasons.
Project Notes
Developed during a three-month residency. Structural drawings completed; seeking fabrication partner for full-scale prototype.

Fig. 4 Threshold detail / light study
Context
An interior transformation for a mid-size gallery in a former printing house. The brief asked for a system that could accommodate radically different scales of artwork without permanent subdivision.
Research
- Comparative study of Kunsthalle Basel and HangarBicocca
- Lighting simulation across four seasonal conditions
- Acoustic mapping of existing HVAC interference
Design Development
The solution is a field of pivoting wall panels hung from an exposed overhead rail. Curators can reconfigure the room in under two hours. One panel thickness serves both structural and acoustic functions.
Project Notes
Acoustic panel mock-up completed. Rail fabrication tender issued. Opening scheduled for Q1 2027.

Fig. 4 Pavilion outcome
Context
A compact trail shelter and observation point in the northern boreal forest. The programme is minimal: protection from wind, a place to sit, and a frame for a specific horizon view.
Research
- Sami trail markings and temporary dwelling traditions
- Snow-load analysis for angled roofs
- Dark-sky requirements and red-spectrum lighting
Design Development
The form follows snow-drift patterns rather than conventional geometry. The shelter is dug 40 cm into the slope and clad in charred pine that will silver over the first decade. A single long window faces the reservoir.
Project Notes
Completed August 2025. Constructed by local crew over six weeks. Photography to follow in spring after first winter season.

Fig. 2 Annotation study
Fig. 3 Spatial graphic
Context
A series of exercises in visual taxonomy: testing how spatial information can be compressed into flat notation without losing hierarchy.
Research
- Otl Aicher and Munich Olympics wayfinding
- Recursive sign systems in railway stations
- Digital degradation as a generative tool
Fig. 1 Object sequence
Fig. 2 Form study
Fig. 3 Scale reference
Context
Small-scale material investigations that preceded the Lapland and Russian Garden projects. Each object tests a single joint, surface finish or structural assumption at 1:1.
Design Development
- Charred pine grain direction and tooling marks
- Welded base plate tolerances for frost heave
- Mesh tensioning and boundary connections
