For my thesis project I explored ‘Flow and Form, and the effects on the human psyche’. An in-depth study of these elements has deepened my knowledge of Interior Architecture and its visual and emotive language, which is implemented in my designs. My thesis design, ‘The Dappled Haze’, offers a selection of spatial functions that require Flow & Form to unite the spaces harmoniously. An underlying atmosphere of calm is achieved throughout the building through the use of colour, light and texture, with visual contrasts highlighted and balanced. The design aims to encompass the components of a good design in search of aesthetic happiness.

The Dappled Haze: I enjoy bringing some exuberance to my design work, being flexible and open to the surrounding environment and community; also playing with space, light and flow to create design that is both aesthetically and emotionally pleasing. I strive to design in awareness of the constantly changing trends in design as well as environmental and technological issues.
