Spatial Storytelling

How can spaces communicate without relying on objects, texts, etc?


Deep research of spatial principles (Promenade, Abstraction, Context, Simultaneity, Stopping Points) and how they can be applied to create communicative space.


Magazines: research of each principle and its applications in space and beyond
Application: non-linear VR experience.
Storybooks: illustrated booklets based on VR user experience
Movies: video and audio recordings of VR user play







Architectural space is more than mere structure. It is a vessel of narrative. Walls, corridors, and thresholds shape the movement of our bodies, just as plot guides the arc of a story. A well-designed space whispers its history through texture and light, inviting its occupants to become both characters and authors. Each room holds intention, each shadow, a secret waiting to be discovered. In this way, architecture doesn't just house stories—it becomes one.

Over the course of the last two years, I’ve had the pleasure of dedicating my time to exploring the ways in which designers build vocabularies for spatial storytelling. Through interviews, case studies, and practice-based research, I aimed to uncover how to translate abstract narratives into tangible environments.

The outcomes of this research reveal not only design strategy, but also, the deeper phenomenological and cultural frameworks that shape how space becomes story.

I’ve always been interested in stories. Listening to them, watching them, telling them. My favorite buildings have become libraries, theaters, and museums. In these spaces I feel completely myself. As I grow as a spatial designer, I begin to note the elements of these interiors that allow me to experience storytelling in such a visceral way. In the future I see myself putting these tools to work- bringing stories to life through designed space.
