Omea Hall
I’m a Master of Architecture graduate from the Dunedin School of Architecture, exploring architecture through a phenomenological lens with a focus on materiality, atmosphere, and human experience. My work is driven by the intersection of people and space, creating environments that support wellbeing, invite interaction, and genuinely benefit those who use them.
My recently completed thesis, De-institutionalising Dementia Care, reflects this approach, using embodied research and sensory-driven design to challenge conventional frameworks. Professionally, I bring a strong foundation in design communication, technical documentation, and visual storytelling, with proficiency in Revit, Adobe Creative Suite, and Lumion.
Named the 2023 NZIA Southern Branch Design Student of the Year and a multi-year DINZ Best Design Awards finalist, I combine energy, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset to contribute meaningfully in studio settings. I’m excited to continue developing a practice grounded in craft, materiality, and human-centered design.
