Summer 2026
Architecture & Spatial Design
A compact lakeside dwelling exploring how architecture can maximise experience within a 30 m² footprint.
HPP Project
overview
I developed the final concept first in Feather 3D, using quick three-dimensional sketches to explore the building’s proportions, spacing and repeated external structure.
The design was then modelled in Rhino and placed within its proposed lakeside context, allowing me to assess orientation, scale and how the building frames the key views across the water.
