homework
I design interiors that respond to the people
who inhabit them.
Each project is a search for balance between
function
and emotion, precision and atmosphere.
Drawing from my experience in hospitality,
retail and residential design,
I study how people interact
with space,
translating their movements
and habits
into environments that feel coherent,
comfortable and alive.

The staircase was designed as a sculptural element connecting the two levels of a private residence. The composition combines the tactile depth of white marble with the clean precision of matte black metal, creating a visual rhythm that links tradition and modernity.
The lower block, carved from a single piece of marble, anchors the structure with a sense of weight and permanence. As it rises, the staircase becomes lighter, transitioning into a suspended metal flight that enhances spatial continuity and natural light.
