Doris, A blackbelt retreat Doris Farms, a Black Belt Retreat is a project that explores the physical, cultural, and experimental legacy of the agricultural heritage of the Black Belt. Located in Macon, Georgia, Doris Farms will serve to be an agritourism destination for those seeking a deeper connection with the land, a peaceful retreat, and somewhere to enjoy great food. Furthermore, Doris Farms seeks to offer visitors the opportunity to relax in nature, celebrate African American culture and cuisine, and be a “farm stay “experience that will allow visitors to enjoy Southern nights in a distinct way.

The project, along with fine dining locations and casual restaurants will be accompanied by uniquely designed cottages. These will allow for remote work, relaxation, and socialization as well as the enjoyment of outdoor spaces during all seasons. These cottages are independent constructions whose design gets its inspiration from some aspects of the vernacular architecture of the region and mainly from nature to create a variety of spaces that create a unique experience for visitors.

Point – Line – Plane This project came as a result of a process of identifying points, lines, and planes in everyday objects that are within our surroundings. The project first started with making photographs of these objects, then proceeded with extracting the points, lines, and planes out of them to create a composition that would serve as the initial inspiration to create a model. The project consisted of the exploring of the possibilities of space and form by translating from two-dimensional drawing to three-dimensional model-making.

Living lighthouse For this project, I was required to create a proposal for a residential “micro-housing” tower for undergraduate students. The project consisted of designing 30 units of housing, circulation cores containing an elevator, and scissor stairs for egress from the building. Along with these guidelines, the building’s design had to provide a lobby, classroom spaces, and shared recreational or hangout spaces. My design seeks to meet all these requirements trying not to exceed the determined space unnecessarily and ensuring that every individual is near an exit within a range of 30 feet of their reach.

Site, Pat, and Threshold For this project, I was required to create a site in order to seek to understand it and make a proposal that would make it part of the transformative process of architecture by performing excavation and building from it. Taking into consideration hierarchies and allowing the site to have private and public gathering spaces, I proceeded to design a site that can also be intended for site sightseeing as part of my proposal.
