Lucet Mundi Pop-Up Shop
The program calls for a re-usable pop-up shop for a new jewelry line, Lucet Mundi, to be executed with tight construction budget & schedule. The idea is that of a gift wrapped precious geometric gem faced with display cabinetry, to be perceived as a glowing object from a distance, yet inviting & personal at a more intimate scale. Unfinished laminated plywood hexagon display cabinet was used for its inherent structural strength, as well as construction efficiency. The pink glass radiates a warm glow over the jewelry display behind, and the black gift ribbons exemplify the romance of gift giving.

California Closets Showroom
The California Closets showroom is located in New York vibrant Tribeca, an acronymn for "Triangle Below Canal". The neighborhood is composed of early 20th century industrial warehouse buildings, with commercial retail stores below, and loft-like artist/residential spaces above. The program calls for demonstrating how California Closet's new product line can be tailored towards Tribeca's specific residential requirements- from the compressed rooms of recent apartment construction, to the expansiveness of converted loft in warehouse spaces. The design strategy is to insert various scale geometric volumes within the given building envelope, showcasing California Closets products in a museum like setting. Three delicate cubical closet pavilions are located at the ground level’s perimeter, while the central glass/steel staircase leading up to the mezzanine.
