Research & Insight: 
While browsing through residential architecture magazines at bookstores, I noticed a highlight on trends but a need for more coverage on various social themes such as sustainability practices, regional customs, etc. This highlighted the need for more diverse and forward-thinking perspectives on this niche topic.

I created Refugio, a residential architecture magazine featuring a different country in each issue. This approach comprehensively explores various social themes such as sustainability and regional customs. The magazine's minimal and polished visual design allows the thoughtfully curated imagery to take center stage.
