Building We-Oriented Spaces and Connections (Through Song)
Our world is facing immense challenges: loneliness, isolation, divisiveness, and the excessive use of our natural resources, which contributes to climate change.
As cities grow and housing costs rise, people are searching for a deeper sense of belonging. My work responds to these societal issues by embracing "we" thinking in both architecture and culture.
At Architecture of Belonging, I design and build spaces that foster community. But creating these spaces alone isn't enough. To truly shift our culture, we need to practice being together—learning how to listen, attune, and take up space while being part of something bigger.
That’s why, alongside our architectural projects, we also sing. Singing circles reconnect us to something universal that once brought communities together, something that has largely been confined to religious spaces. By reintroducing communal singing, we practice connection, harmony, and togetherness.
From co-housing designs to song circles, my work is about building the capacity for togetherness. It’s about creating environments where we can belong—to each other, to our places, and to ourselves.
Join us in shaping a future where we don’t just build structures, but also build relationships and communities.
