An Interior Architecture student exploring residential and experiential design, with a strong interest in mindful and narrative-driven spaces. Their project, The Aperture Retreat, investigates the relationship between space, light, and perception, translating it into a spatial experience that responds to slow living and emotional well-being. Inspired by the concept of a camera aperture, the design integrates framed views, controlled lighting, and layered spatial sequencing to create a calm and introspective environment.

The project reinterprets traditional architectural elements through a contemporary lens, balancing privacy and openness while enhancing spatial depth and visual storytelling. Through this work, the student demonstrates the ability to combine conceptual exploration, technical planning, and atmospheric design into a cohesive and immersive residential outcome.
