Wonderland Pavilion
The project emerges from the idea of continuing a dialogue between different domestic environments, where architecture and landscape are experienced as a continuous spatial sequence.
Set within the hillside of Laurel Canyon, Wonderland Pavilion unfolds through a series of outdoor rooms and pathways that guide guests from the garden into the heart of the compound.
The project juxtaposes simple modernist forms and expansive glass surfaces with a careful selection of tactile materials including hand-laid stone, warm timber, gravel, and weathered metal.
Subtly connected to the existing residence, the pavilion reinvigorates the character of the property through the addition of layered outdoor spaces that dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape.

Reclaimed timber and stone envelop the space, referencing the clients’ coastal Spanish heritage.

The indoor–outdoor spaces at Field House are calibrated to bring in air and morning light, allowing rest to remain closely tied to the rhythms of the site.
The central courtyard is defined by planted ground planes and open edges, positioned between interior spaces and the landscape to organize light, circulation, and pause.
The indoor–outdoor spa engages light, air, and surrounding foliage, with water and minimal enclosure shaping a quiet, daily ritual.
Field House is defined by a restrained palette of natural materials and detailed to recede into the landscape. The low, horizontal form and timber envelope soften the boundary between building and site, allowing light, planting, and daily use to shape the experience of the residence.
The proposal layers multiple programs across the site-from gallery and lecture spaces to artist studios and archival rooms, each woven through a sequence of courtyards. This moment marks a pivotal transition: the new volume does not compete, but instead completes the existing within the negative space, offering a clear passage between the tactile weight of history and the open framework of future use. This evokes a place for reflection.
Programmatic zones unfold in calibrated sequence-compression and release, shadow and illumination, drawing the visitor through spaces that are at once contemplative and active.
Our proposal to reimagine a post-industrial site as a contemporary art gallery bridging the raw permanence of brick with a new, ephemeral lightness.
Located on Cove St in Massachusetts, the proposal is anchored by principles of restraint and adaptive reuse. Inserting delicate layers of glass and metal within the existing warehouse fabric to create a porous threshold between past and present. Natural light filters through a veiled skin, revealing the building’s inner geometry while preserving its quiet monumentality.
