BUBBLES INSTALLATION Interactive Design, Engineering, Fabrication, InstallationOur team's challenge was to create a site-specific architectural scale installation that would engage the public and create a fun, social atmosphere for the community at M&A. Bubbles was not only a spectacle that stopped traffic, but excited visitors by allowing them to influence the physical space around them. The installation consists of large interactive bubbles that inflate and deflate in reaction to the changing occupancy of their surrounding space. The space starts out packed with bubbles and transforms to just a canopy as the space fills with visitors. In collaboration with Foxlin (Michael Fox and Juintow Lin) and Brand Name Label (Gabriel Renz). American Institute of Architects Honor Award.

DORLAND RENOVATION Interior Architecture, Construction Management, Historic RenovationDorland Residence by Lloyd Wright, Altadena, CA, 2019 With a loving respect to its architecture, a 1949 Lloyd Wright built with “typical elements of the house of tomorrow” is adapted for today. The existing kitchen and bathroom (not original to the house) are renovated and a second bathroom is added within the footprint. The new kitchen aims to feel like a part of the architecture that has always been there. Its form follows the dramatic geometry of the house and its openness connects it to the surrounding landscape. With the removal of a wood and ribbed glass screen, what was once an isolated service quarter becomes the active, multi-functional center of the house. A mudroom off the kitchen is converted into a full second bathroom, extending the functionality of the 1,462 square foot house. The existing bath is replaced with a new layout and red palette contrasting its blue counterpart. Layers of paint, tile and epoxy flooring were stripped to reveal the plywood ceiling, douglas fir beams, lightweight concrete block walls, and original concrete floor. Seventy-year-old redwood reclaimed from the screen is used exclusively for the trim carpentry. New elements introduced are teak, brushed limestone and waxed uncoated brass that will age with the house. Laundry is added, built into the backside of the kitchen, the wood structure and concrete slab is restored, curtains are replaced with Kvadrat textiles, windows are re-screened in bronze, mismatched textured glass is replaced to clear, discreet ductless air conditioning is added and the original hydronic radiant floor heating system is now plumbed to a smart, energy efficient tankless system.

LEXUS CT UMBRA LEXUS CT UMBRADesign, Experiential Marketing, Fabrication, On-site Supervision As a visual representation of the campaign message, Lexus commissioned NONdesigns to create a sculptural representation of the CT 200h that will be displayed at events around the country. NON created a pixilated interpretation of the compact premium hybrid that treats viewers to the two personalities of the vehicle. When viewers walk around the installation, they experience a change in color from luxurious gold hues to organic tints of green and blue — representing the two seemingly contradictory perspectives of Lexus' fifth hybrid.
