Rural Forms, Reimagined

Rooted in the quiet strength of rice fields and the timeless silhouettes of rural houses, I developed the narrative of Oryza Villa as a minimalist sanctuary.
Materiality, intuition, and local heritage come together to create a space where traditional archetypes are translated into a modern architectural language.


Concept Inspiration:

Guided by the transition from intimate craft to hospitality at scale, I envisioned Oryza as a turning point in my practice—a place to affirm a methodology rooted in collage, maquettes, and narrative.

The creative pillars of the experience:

- Architectural Intuition, honoring the simplicity of rural forms and the authenticity of place;
- Local Materiality, reflecting a deep connection to the landscape through a contemporary lens;
- A Personal Methodology, where the tactile process of design informs a sense of sanctuary and belonging.

Together, they form a language of grounded textures and essential lines, creating a calm, immersive, and sensorial atmosphere that now informs my work across all scales.
