| The Panoramic |

Our studio participated in a competition held by Vale de Moses to design a wellness retreat in the Valley of Serra de Estrella in Oleiros, Portugal. The facility features a yoga hall with a panoramic view of the mountain and offers an immersive experience of the surrounding forest. Ground yourself in nature and be in the present moment.

| Garfield Site Visit |

The Garfield Multi-family Renovation is just one of the many projects we are continuing to follow along with as it propels through the construction phase. At our most recent site visit, we had the chance to see the completion of demolition and the beginning of major interior framing. yuacollab led the design effort to de-convert the building from its original 62 units down to 48 to provide more efficient layouts with the additional square footage.

| Double Blade Canopy |

We recently had a productive client meeting for a major face-lift project in Naperville where we discussed the final touches to the exterior and began developing the interior. To elicit a breathtaking first impression as your eyes meet the entryway, our team proposed a 2-story window assembly featuring a blade-thin, cantilevered canopy.

We are excited to continue this collaborative journey!
