I’m interested in
the stories a place
already holds.
Hi, I’m Phinola.
My undergraduate work keeps returning to questions of memory, migration and belonging. What happens to a place when its original use disappears? How can a new building help people feel connected to somewhere unfamiliar?
Through projects in Makokoba, Brixton and Yeoville, I explore those questions through models, drawings and the details of everyday life: a market stall, a shared courtyard, a place to sit.

Making is
a way of asking.
My process moves between physical models, drawings and construction details. I use each to explore a different question: what an idea feels like, how people move through it, and how its materials come together.
