Oyoram, 2025
Working with Maxime Faure under the creative direction of Oyoram, I designed the environments for two permanent Tiffany installations: one in Milan, one in Ginza, Tokyo. each environment was built as an elegant window onto a garden iconic to its city: the Da Vinci garden for Milan, and the Ninomaru Garden of Tokyo's Imperial Palace for Ginza.
Working with Maxime Faure under the creative direction of Oyoram, I designed the environments for two permanent Tiffany installations: one in Milan, one in Ginza, Tokyo. each environment was built as an elegant window onto a garden iconic to its city: the Da Vinci garden for Milan, and the Ninomaru Garden of Tokyo's Imperial Palace for Ginza.
The core challenge was accuracy without access: there wasn't time to visit either garden in person or travel to Japan, so both environments had to be reconstructed convincingly in 3D from photos. To bring the luxuriance of each garden to life, I built a PCG system to procedurally generate flowers, paths, and grass across the ground, and used image-based geometry to recreate the statues and iconic set pieces within each garden.
To sell the illusion of a real window, both installations rendered through an nDisplay screen with the default viewpoint POSITIONNED as if standing inside the shop, so the screen read as a genuine opening onto the outside world, rather than a display.
