PERFUMER PROJECT / SKETCHUP

---

  FOR THIS STUDIO PROJECT, I DESIGNED A LIVE–WORK SPACE FOR A PERFUMER, INSPIRED BY SILPHIUM FROM STORA SKUGGAN—A FRAGRANCE ROOTED IN MYTHOLOGY, SURREALISM, AND A LONG-LOST PLANT FROM ANCIENT NORTH AFRICA. DRAWING FROM THE SCENT’S STORY, I RESEARCHED 600 BC GREEK AESTHETICS AND USED RELATED TEXTURES, COLORS, AND FORMS. I ALSO INCORPORATED MODERN FIXTURES AND DESIGNED CUSTOM FURNITURE THROUGHOUT. THE SPACE SPANS THREE LEVELS: A BASEMENT WITH LIVING QUARTERS AND NATURAL LIGHT OPENINGS (THE ROOTS), A MAIN FLOOR WITH A PERFUME ORGAN AND SCULPTURAL STAIRCASE (THE STEM), AND A ROOFTOP GARDEN FOR INSPIRATION AND RELAXATION (THE PETALS).
