Denver

Denver is my first design object, and I still think it is one of my best projects. My inspiration was the “New World ” Symphony by Antonín Dvorák, and the idea of a space that is open to infinite new possibilities.I think the slimness and elementary shapes of the Denver express the vision of the flowing and jagged lines in my architecture.
