MASH UP

The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit. Fear and power do not peacefully coexist. In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. She started out with a fairly simple, local thing, a string of excellent,an expression of herself. It follows, then, that she who wishes to reach the most rarefied and potent ranks, to choose our better history,that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation must have a certain serenity. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Sometimes she fails, aesthetically and otherwise. And more often than not, she wins because we have chosen hope more than anything else to carry forward that precious gift, her gift. Yet, every so often, it has its ups and downs. The oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some. The God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness. But adaptability, is her gift.

RAMP x2

Interior Ramp

I decided to design two different ramps leading to the meeting place for both clients Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Keith Campbell does have a style of their own. This was also done to make the whole environment more effective and interesting.

Clients Meeting Place

The Meeting Place

This way leads us to Campbell's studio which is on a slightly higher level, thus the stairs. Lighting was chosen to be more soft here to help the clients take a rest and feel more comfortable.

Completed map - Jacques-Yves Cousteau x Keith Campbell


Jacques-Yves Cousteau’s studio relates to my “Electroliquid Aggregation” in a way that shows how design can be very surreal and dreamlike. This is portrayed by a floating space wrapped in a sea of steps.

The Meeting Place

The simplicity of the ‘meeting place’ was designed for comfort and a space which belongs to both clients. I chose to use a different colour other than blue and green for the meeting place because I believe that here, they can temporarily forget about their work and away from their studio environments.

Keith Campbell's Studio


Campbell's space focused more on things being balanced and equivalent. This studio shows how simple things can be put into practice. A wider and more spacious area can be more effective.
