Hi! I'm an architect exploring how our identities are shaped by the spaces we inhabit. One way I do so is by recreating people’s memories of their childhood spaces into written and visual portraits.

The more I delve into the topic, the more I personally find myself reflecting on my own body-space relationships, and Resets are a recurring theme.

Lately, I’ve been focused on locating my spatio-emotional thresholds: Where I experience a subtle emotional shift upon entering/leaving a space. I’ve been practicing to draw on the familiar comfort of home to guide how I show up in unfamiliar or uncomfortable spaces (crowded spaces, online spaces, lonely spaces, unreachable spaces, etc.).

This happens to be the topic of my first Substack post, so if you’d like, you can read more about it here!

Sabine this is beautiful and completely aligned with what we care about. we try to create spaces that shape emotion and soften the noise of the outside world so people can reconnect with their inner selves. we’ve always believed that architecture art and especially nature have a quiet but powerful effect on us. most people don’t name it but they feel it. keep going, your work is wonderful.

Thank you so so much!! Your words really mean so much to me given your expertise in the field. I love reading your newsletters and just immersing myself into the energies your spaces embody (through your descriptions of them!).

I would love the chance to get to know you more given our common framework. Perhaps we can meet over a call and create your memoir of your childhood home, connecting your memories to your current spatial identity and practice? Just a kind suggestion, no pressure at all!

Here’s how the memoirs come out to be (you can find 3 stories here):
