THE MAIN 3
Dallas TX. | 2024
1415 Main Street | Sentinel
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Main 3 Downtown focuses on a number of upgrades to the building’s common area amenities, leasing office as well as a conversion of an old commercial space in the 1414 building into 4 residential units.
Starting from the ground up, the objective was to convert the existing wine tasting room and theater room into a large modern fitness center for residents. The current plan will include restroom facilities, a group fitness room and a large open equipment room with a range of offerings.
A main objective of the project was to relocate the full leasing office from the basement of the 1415 building up to the amenity level where the old fitness center and resident lounge were located. This allowed more room for a true modern leasing office adjacent to the roof deck pool. The outdoor amenity space was reconfigured to better suite the needs and desires of the targeted market.
The project also include the renovation of 164 units consisting of nine studio, eighty-five one-bedroom, and seventy two-bedroom apartments, as well as 6,332 square feet of ground floor retail space, and 3,600 square feet of second floor office space.

SENTINEL HQ OFFICE
New York NY. | 2024
1251 Avenue of The Americas | Sentinel
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Our internal design team was asked to help with the renovation of Sentinel’s new HQ Office located in New York City. The project required the re-imagining of several existing spaces to bring them up to the standards and finishes expected of a Sentinel project. These spaces include Elevator Lobby, Entry Lobby, Resident Lounge and Cafe Conference Rooms, Open Work Stations, as well as typical office layouts.
There are a lot of moving parts on a project like this and it was important to have tools such as Revit and Enscape to illustrate the design intent of the Owner. We worked closely with consultants and vendors to coordinate important design details. The intention is to create a new space that feels timeless. A use of interesting materials are proposed for this project such as costume Terrazzo floors, stone, and wood panels. Several iterations were mocked up and reviewed with the CEO of the company to help bring there vision to reality.
ABQ UPTOWN
Albuquerque NM | 2023
2222 Uptown Loop Rd NE | Sentinel
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ABQ Uptown Apartments required the reimagining of a variety of amenity spaces including the Fitness Center, Business Center, Resident Lounge, Open Air Corridor with package concierge, Exterior Courtyard and fire pit, as well as the Leasing Office.
The main goal of the renovation was to modernize the offerings at the property, while enhancing the amenity area’s connections to the exterior courtyard. Each space was looked at individually and as a collective whole. I was strongly involved with the design phase, getting feedback and approval throughout. During the end of the design phase, I worked to collect bids from several contractors and begin the negotiation/procurement phase to align the design with our approved budget. From there we we awarded the project to a contractor and continue to be involved via construction administration until the project was completed and the spaces can be turned back over to our residents.
In the end the renovation provided a strong identity for the property and exciting new offerings for our current and future residents, while increasing the property’s value.

KIOTA “NEST”
Kenya | 2018
Top 50 | International Design Competition
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
KIOTA beacons from the top of an Observation Hill in Amboseli National Park as a destination for human gathering and reflection that celebrates and echoes the natural environment around it. This design frames the environment around it from within and creates flexibly programmed covered and open spaces to give opportunities for unique views from a range of perspectives. The radial design offers a covered ground level for gathering and viewing, while two observation spaces accessed from a central circulation core branch up and out from the center of the structure. The structure slopes upward, mimicking the edge of the hilltop to seamlessly blend into the horizon of Amboseli beyond. Overall, KIOTA acts as a threshold between man and nature, and harnesses the views already offered by this one of a kind observation point.

“Underneath New York City, 700 miles of elevated bridges, highways, subways and rail lines lies millions of sq ft of public space-nearly four times the size of central Park” -Susan Chin
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The intention of this project is to re-imagine a new sustainable master plan that can be applied to the elevated 6 train Line in the Bronx New York. This will include creating a more celebrated end terminus for the IRT line at Pelham Bay Park Station as well as several other main stations along the way. Pelham Bay station has the opportunity to serve as a significant urban design element forming a gateway for travelers. The project goal is to develop an architectural expression that transforms Pelham Bay Station into an accessible and welcoming Gateway for the Neighborhood. In between the public and the station, essentially improving the user interface of the station. This includes improving station access and ADA compliances as well as overall layout and flow of exterior spaces.
This project will develop a comprehensive vision to improve the pedestrian access, increase accommodations for informal and formal activities, while preserving the historic structure of the elevated tracks. Existing structural frame and floor level elevations will also be retained. As the design develops, the station will embody an open dynamic quality fitting for its purpose.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Just as the Arno River flows through Fiorenze, the Folding Piazza folds through Piazza Del Carmine. The intervention to the piazza wraps around the site and folds into the building itself creating a strong connection between the piazza and the library. This allows for a sinuous flow that brings you through the piazza enjoying the spaces provided by the folds. It was important to consider existing conditions of surrounding urban context such as the Ciese Carmine, the adjacent convent, church, museum, and restaurant.

A Train of Thought
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Art as a train of though has served as a way for me to describe my art. Allowing for thoughts and ideas to freely flow out onto the paper without any restrictions is a liberating experience that allows for the utmost creative expression. In art, there is no right or wrong and it is fun to challenge the misconceptions of good and bad. It is what it is. Colors can be sporadic and lines can be bold. This provides a visually stimulating piece that draws the views eyes across the page. Detail is used to suggest textures. The perceptions of light, patterns, and color can be lost. Each of these pieces are an exploration of these concepts, looking to break the boundaries of what we are capable of. I am inspired everyday by the world around me and the experiences I have attempting to incorporate it into each piece.
