I’ve always been drawn to creativity in all its forms. Fashion, art, photography and design are all part of how I express myself and see the world. I love discovering new perspectives, experimenting with ideas and finding inspiration in unexpected places.Through my studies, I’ve developed a growing interest in how our surroundings influence the way we feel. I’m particularly fascinated by the relationship between materials, atmosphere and emotion, and how thoughtful design can turn an ordinary space into something meaningful.
Cafe Ottavia
Group Projekt with Chiara Lenzenwöger, Seraphina Myrenne
The Brief Design a small pavilion in Rome that collects and reuses rainwater while transforming rainfall into a public and sensory experience. The structure should make water visible, audible and usable, offer shade and comfort, and respond sensitively to its urban context. The pavilion had to remain lightweight, reversible and sustainable.
Coffee from Rain.
The 5×6 m pavilion connects coffee culture, architecture, and natural water purification into a unified system. Inspired by San Vitale (Ravenna), Roman columns and the octagonal geometry form the spatial framework of the design.
The columns not only carry the architectural order but also filter rainwater through natural stone layers, while the octagon acts as a unifying spatial core that brings the elements together. In this way, rain becomes part of an urban infrastructure and the basis for shared coffee consumption.Filter coffee is reinterpreted as a cultural reference and inscribed into the architectural cycle.

Water Cycle
At the push of a button, the rainwater is pumped from the tank into the spiral pipe. As the water flows into the boiler, it is heated and can flow through the tap into the coffee filter.Once the tank is full, the water is directed into the basin through a pipe to prevent flooding.The beam pump also creates a continuous water circulation inside the basin itself.
Coffee Cycle
Coffee & Rain share a quiet connection through water, transformation and ritual. Rainwater becomes the essential element that brings the coffee to life — collected, heated and finally used for brewing. At the same time, the coffee passes through its own process of grinding, adding and extracting, turning simple ingredients into something warm and aromatic.
Both rain and coffee are associated with moments of pause. Rain slows down the atmosphere around us, while coffee creates a small ritual of warmth and reflection. By combining the two, the installation transforms rain from something temporary and uncontrollable into something that can be experienced, tasted and shared.
