With the Water is a group project I designed collaboratively, creating a unified architectural experience across three structures: an office building, a gallery, and an indoor classroom. Each structure guides the movement of rainwater and shapes the visitor's path through the site. Together, they function as a cohesive whole while integrating with the surrounding community — each building holds a distinct position and purpose that supports both functionality and community engagement.

​

I designed the office building, sited at the rear of the site to give employees privacy and security while keeping them connected to the rest of the site. Across from it, my collaborator designed the gallery, which opens toward the community garden to create a peaceful atmosphere connected to nature and local initiatives. Near the entrance, the indoor classroom's accessible design and open view of the pond create an inviting space for environmental learning.

The community garden sits at the site's entrance, welcoming visitors and encouraging neighborhood interaction. Sustainable water systems, including rainwater ponds and bioswales, direct rainwater naturally into the garden to support eco-friendly landscaping. Together, these systems reflect the project's core intent: an integrated infrastructure that functions as a cohesive whole and as a vital part of the larger community, enriching both its social and environmental fabric.
