- Uiga Fa'apitoa
- Haven of Echoes redefines the residence as a living archive where memory objects actively shape spatial experience. Books, heirloom pieces, and collected artifacts are embedded into circulation, display, and storage systems, allowing personal history to unfold naturally through daily life. The integration of breathable diatomaceous earth walls enhances environmental comfort while preserving openness across the kitchen, dining, and living zones.
- Fua & Fa'apipi'i
- The residence spans approximately 130 square meters, organized into open-plan kitchen, living, and dining zones. Ceiling heights range from 2.7 to 3.2 meters to maximize daylight and openness. Custom book walls rise to 3.5 meters with a 1.2-meter depth, integrating storage and circulation. The central island measures 2.4 by 1.5 meters, while breathable diatomaceous wall finishes support passive odor absorption and humidity regulation.

- Tekonolosi Gaosiga
- The project combines breathable diatomaceous earth wall finishes, custom millwork, integrated book walls, and precision carpentry to support both environmental performance and long-term storage needs. Timber veneer, mineral plaster, steel detailing, and restored heritage furnishings were carefully coordinated to balance material warmth, durability, and preservation of personal collections within the open-plan residence.
- Lu'itau o le Mamanu
- The main challenge was integrating heirloom furniture, books, and travel collections into an open-plan home without disrupting clarity, openness, or preservation requirements. Balancing social interaction, historical context, and material performance required careful coordination of circulation, storage depth, and breathable wall technologies, resulting in a residence that supports both emotional resonance and functional precision.
- Su'esu'ega
- This qualitative residential design study investigated how personal memory and collected artifacts can become part of everyday life. Research focused on circulation behavior, domestic rituals, and preservation needs through homeowner interviews, observation, and material testing. Findings informed a spatial strategy that improves usability, passive environmental comfort, and long-term heritage preservation, demonstrating how memory-driven interiors can enrich both daily living quality and emotional continuity.
- Fa'aosofia
- The project began with the idea that memory should be lived with rather than stored away. The homeowners’ books, inherited furniture, and travel artifacts collected across Europe inspired a spatial study on how personal history can be woven into everyday domestic rituals. The design also explored how an open-plan kitchen and living environment could remain visually connected while improving odor absorption and humidity balance through breathable diatomaceous earth wall finishes.
- Umi o le Poloketi
- The project started in September 2025 and was completed in December 2025 in Taoyuan, Taiwan.
- Fa'agasologa o Galuega
- Daily life is organized as a layered sequence that begins at the entrance threshold, transitions through curated storage and display zones, and opens into a ritual-centered kitchen, dining, and living environment. The central island anchors cooking, gathering, and conversation, while continuous circulation pathways create intuitive movement and visual continuity. This flow transforms ordinary routines into shared domestic rituals shaped by memory and interaction.
