Concept

Anchor Steam, a San Francisco brewery established in 1896, survived the prohibition years in the US thanks to their high quality crafted beers and is considered one of America’s oldest breweries.
Cold Storage
Offices
The essence of this design concept is to expose the brewery to a broader range of consumers by creating a space that, through materiality and layout, celebrates the craft and skills that were put into the brewing process.
CEO Receptionist
This design aims to allow Anchor Steam’s crafted product to connect on a more personal level with its audience. With the use of specific materiality palettes, location and views from the new site, the brewing process is transformed from being concealed to being as transparent as possible. By doing so, the brand’s reputation will be elevated in the minds of its old and new consumers.
Administration
Through a carefully selected materiality palette which was mostly drawn from the origins of beer making, this space presents a contemporary spin on a brewery that holds the old ways of beer making at great value. This concept reinvents the experience of brewing beer and re-establishing a local manufacturer by creating spatial conditions that tap into the five senses of the individual who enters the brewery’s new location. The design aims to heighten all five senses through experiencing different spaces within the brewery: Hearing Sight Smell Taste Touch

CROSS-POLLINATING @ WORK

15
Concept During my research and analysis of the Crispin Porter + Bogusky’s company culture and the New Employee handbook of this advertising firm, I stumbled upon the word Cross-pollination. I found the word to be appealing, motivating and charged with ideas that could be translated into a spatial experience. Cross-pollination in the work space is a design concept that could be translated and interpreted in many ways. This concept defines the process of the employees interchanging information and data with those sources, as well as with each other. The library was designed to appear as a forest. This concept aimed to complement the cross-pollination process that usually occurs in nature, to represent an office-setting spacial experience. These indoor tree-like bookshelves are used as a visual aid for the employees’ journey of searching for information in the firms archives and the process of cross-pollination with each other. This artificial forest also symbolizes nature and was translated to represent life, which has a heart and a core. That core is represented structurally in the location of the forest-like library, its materiality and color palette that form the spatial experience. I developed this concept through the use of departmental diagrams that revolve around the heart and core space of the firm, the library.
Process
The different creative departments surrounding the library, acting as the first ring, has an immediate access to the spaces due to their daily work needs. The outer rings that includes the accounting departments, auditorium and conference spaces, as well as the administration department are located on the higher and lower levels of the buildings.

GLOBAL AS LOCAL - A CULTURAL FRICTION Bay Area Rapid Train | Montgomery Station, San Francisco
24
View 1 BART platform and the 3D projected gallery
Concept The Montgomery BART station is located in the heart of downtown San Francisco. This site was established in 1973 and was designed to serve only one purpose: to accommodate the traveling needs of its users in the most efficient way. The concept behind the added programs was to redesign the space to be able to contribute culturally to the city of San Francisco with minimal structural intervention and material additions. The aim was to create a design that encouraged smarter usage of an already existing space, with vast unused square footage that has great potential. This design is about re-purposing the under-utilized space within the existing BART station, while creating a friction between the diverse range of the station’s daily users and the local and global cultural information that is displayed in the station. This cultural friction would be accomplished through the use of interactive maps and screens that will depict information on local galleries and exhibitions, as well as events that take place internationally. In addition, the new program will incorporate 3D projections of local and global architectural and historic sites, a feature that will allow the users to interact with the material that is exhibited in the different levels of the station and be inspired and culturally well-informed.

RE-PURPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE
From Commercial Space to Residential Condominium

View 1 Unit #7| The now living area of what once was an office space
Concept The site is located south of Market street, in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco. This area once was the industrial district of the city, mainly consisting of factories and Gold Rush immigrant workers. Today, this neighborhood is a mixture of industrial businesses, warehouses, loft and luxury apartments, modern hotels, art and furniture showrooms, galleries and swanky nightspots. Through researching the site, its neighborhood, the demographic data, the local community and the potential client, ECLECTIC, LOFT, INDUSTRIAL, HOME were concepts that resonated with me. These words not only became the leading ideas of my design but also formed its foundation. The concept behind this design was to take a commercial building located in Mission Bay and transform into a housing-friendly space, aimed to bring the interior of the building back in context with the aesthetics of its industrial-oriented neighborhood. The re-used square footage, in the form of several apartment units, would embrace the history of its location and use the materiality that surrounds it: red bricks, steel beams, large open spaces and big windows. This design concept will transform this material palette and bring these materials from around the neighborhood into the newly divided interior spaces.

Concept Inspired by the contradictory combination of a soft natural material such as wood along with a complex structure of a diamond, the strongest shape in nature, and the introduction of a third natural element thrown in the mix, metal bronze. This design aims to be used as an accent light that provides an industrial touch to a rustic light and enhance the experience of the space by casting a warm, amber-like ambient glow. Made of solid dark wood, this rustic-themed light was designed to appear as a free-standing diamond that could be placed in different positions and angles, as well as on various surfaces.

Joinery & Construction
Process This diamond-shaped light is sliced into multiple horizontal pieces. These slices are designed as rings to create an inner void and provide 1’’ gaps between the wooden rings. The bulb, a 60w Edison-style filament bulb, is set in the inner void of the 3D wooden diamond, allowing the warm light to protrude through the gaps in between the horizontal slices penetrating and illuminating the space.

MATHEMATICAL ILLUMINATION A Custom-made Lighting Fixture 42
Concept A lighting fixture that, with it’s shape, would form a compelling visual composition, one that will emphasis the selected surface with it’s location, arrangement and density of the individual fixtures. The hexagonal shape is very mathematical and may appear as restricting, but this design allows a wide range of versatile patterns and spatial illumination qualities, which are set by taking under consideration the placement of each fixture next to each other and the direction of the light rays that are penetrating through specific sides of the hexagonal light fixture.

RE-USE & RE-LIT 44
A Light Instillation With Unique Spatial Qualities
Concept Using found materials, such as wood branches, and re-use it to create an installation piece that would effect the atmosphere of the space. The concept integrates the use of glass panels and tree branches to form an installation piece that not only can act as a space divider, but also as an illuminating art piece. The piece has unique light and shadow qualities that combine the complexity of the wood’s natural texture and spacing between the small round pieces with the light rays that penetrate through it.
