CLA tower

Spring 2021

The CLA Tower project is a redesign of Cal Poly Pomona’s well known CLA tower. The site includes a plinth area that speaks the same visual language as the tower. It was important to communicate the concept of the design through the plinth as it is the first point of contact to students. The tower refines this language with it’s bold facade to tie the project together. The bean shape influenced the floorplates of the tower that allows for the natural dedication of workspaces. Subtraction was introduced through the facade and the floorplates to create a more dynamic design.

Vetter Mountain
Fall 2021
Instructor: Yasushi IshidaThe Vetter Mountain project was influenced by the structure which was an answer towards the site condition. A scientist retreat was designed by connecting three points of different elevations to provide a private living quarters for the scientist, a semi-public laboratory, and a public area for visitors to learn about the mountain.

Silver Lake mixed use

Spring 2022
Instructor: Roberto Sheinberg

This mixed-use residential complex is placed in the Silver Lake neighborhood in Los Angeles. It accomodates multi-generational families with the intend of each floor being occupied by one family as they grow through time. This project had more emphasis on the technical aspects of architecture with the deliberate use of materials and structures. Details were drawn to further understand the architecture and how it is built.





Hosfield Building preservation
Fall 2022
Instructor: Luis Hoyos Group members: Isela Navarro, Misaki SanoBuilding preservation can be achieved by a project addition that argues the historic building has significance to it. The Hosfield Building, which is the preserved building, acts as auxilary program to the hotel tower, which is the addition. The site is located in Historic Downtown LA with a rich past based around entertainment. Maybe notable tourist activities are located in close proximity to the Hosfield Building making it an ideal place for a hotel. Most notably, the Hosfield Building is cladded in murals. It was important to give these murals space which led to the overall massing of the hotel addition.
