An Interior Architecture student exploring hospitality and themed environment design, with a strong interest in narrative-driven and immersive spaces. Their project, The Compass Café & Wood Carvings, investigates the integration of maritime exploration themes with artisanal craftsmanship, translating it into a spatial experience that responds to cultural storytelling and user engagement.
Inspired by navigational elements such as the compass and seafaring journeys, the design integrates wood textures, crafted detailing, and warm ambient lighting to create a rich and immersive environment. The project combines café and retail functions, offering a cohesive experience that blends dining, display, and cultural appreciation. Through this work, the student demonstrates the ability to merge conceptual narrative, spatial planning, and material expression into a cohesive and engaging hospitality setting.
