Showroom

STONEPEAK CERAMICS
ICFF 2019 BOOTH AND NASHVILLE SHOWROOM

The exhibition/showroom space for Stonepeak Ceramics, a leading ceramic tile company based in Nashville, Tenn., suggests an enclosure lined with large-format tiles where the visitors may fully experience the material floor to ceiling. The design concept of ICFF2019 took inspiration from the Wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities. The walls and the ceiling showcase the company’s best-selling large-format ceramic tiles. In particular, matte white finish on the curved ceiling reflects ambient light, at the same time demonstrating the porcelain tiles’ flexibility. Luminous wall niches display the collection of digitally printed custom tiles showing fragments of Leonardo da Vinci’s fresco The Last Supper.

UNION TWIST CONCEPT

DEVELOPMENT

CHURCH CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION

The design concept proposal is a residential condominium that integrates, at the ground-floor level, the existing church base walls as perimeter delineation of the grocery store. Public access has been maintained through the original church door openings as a symbolic memory of the neighborhood’s approach to the site. The building envelope is composed of a grid pattern of large terracotta modules with open joints to serve as a rain screen system with similar color tone of the existing church bricks. The window frames are recessed behind the terracotta tiles contouring the openings, leaving the majority of the glass uninterrupted.

EXHIBITION SPACE

TEFAF MAASTRICHT 2020

The project is a temporary gallery space for an Italian art dealer at the The European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Together with primary colors for the horizontal and vertical planes, glass sheets neutralize the exhibition space to support the artwork and concentrate visitors’ attention on the paintings. The light-colored perimeter walls reflect the ambient lighting, supplemented by spot fixtures to accent the artworks. The central floating wall divides the front of the booth from the rear, creating a separate exhibition space.
