Spatial Intent
I approach interior design as a spatial and narrative practice, where concept, material, and atmosphere are used to shape experience. My work explores how environments guide movement, frame perception, and create moments of immersion through form, light, and detail.
I am particularly interested in the relationship between geometry and fluidity, and in how spaces can move between clarity and discovery. Each project is grounded in a clear conceptual framework that drives both spatial organization and sensory quality.
Selected Work
Concept
An office conceived as a continuous, breathable organism where each Living Building Challenge petal is expressed through a unified material language. Regenerative performance and spatial experience are inseparable.

Aerial View
Concept
A reimagining of the Library of Banned Books as a celestial sanctuary where architecture and cosmos intertwine. Floating orbs and luminous shelves suggest that each banned story holds its own galaxy, inviting readers into an immersive, interstellar journey where curiosity eclipses censorship.

The Nomad was developed collaboratively. Technical drawings, the axonometric, material collage and floor plans are Ria's individual contributions. Rendered perspectives are shared team outputs.
Concept
A hostel conceived as an extension of San Domino island's ecology — transitioning from light, open entry spaces to grounded stone thresholds and softer sleeping quarters. The design blurs the boundary between architecture and landscape.
