A Home For New Canadians

A Home For New Canadians was a group project with the objective of creating a home for a couple from two different cultural backgrounds and designing an interior that reflects both harmoniously. Me and my partner chose Korean and Balinese cultures we were able to successfully make a home that brought cultural furniture layouts and materials together in a way that allowed both cultures to work together. I and my partner collaborated on the design throughout the house but my main design focus was on the second floor. I did the plans and renders for the second floor and the section.

“We wanted to create a space where both partners felt in tune with their cultures while being able to experience each others. Creating a space that is true to them and they can truly feel at home.”
