Iris / Private Worlds

Iris field study · Hydra

Place moves into making

The island becomes horizon, room, encounter, workshop, and pause. Each threshold changes what can happen next.

This is Iris's field study. It is not a client story, testimonial, record of a commission, destination guide, or claim of special access.
