PLASTIC RECYCLING FACILITY

WINTER 2025 STUDIO

LOCATION:VANCOUVER, BC

WAREHOUSEOFFICES

MASSING AND PROGRAM DIAGRAM

This plastic recycling facility in Vancouver’s Railtown District transforms an underutilized parking lot into a community-centered hub that addresses both plastic waste and housing insecurity. Located near a homeless encampment, the project REPURPOSES INDUSTRIAL PLASTIC into sheets and bricks used to build durable shelters, while also creating local job opportunities in the recycling process. The building is organized into three parts: a warehouse, offices, and a gallery, each constructed with folding CLT panels and REUSED TIMBER ELEMENTS to emphasize sustainability. By combining MATERIAL INNOVATION , public engagement, and social impact, the facility serves as a model for CIRCULAR ECONOMY infrastructure.

RAINIER BEACH COMMUNITY KITCHEN

WINTER 2024 STUDIO

COMMISSARY KITCHEN AND FOOD HALL

LOCATION:RAINIER BEACH, SEATTLE, WA

Rainier Beach Community Kitchen is built on the southeast corner of the Renton Ave S and S Trenton St intersection. The project aims to provide a COMMISSARY KITCHEN and FOOD HALL for the Rainier Beach neighborhood while putting a strong emphasis on SUSTAINABILITY , incorporating a butterfly roof for rainwater collection. Strips of floor-to-ceiling windows along the west facade minimizes glare in the afternoon while also providing street-facing views. Further daylighting study on the project’s mezzanine food hall space explores potential toplighting strategies. Simulation results from ClimateStudio show that clear sawtooths facing north could help achieve

BASELINE SIMULATION RESULT | Analysis

• Narrow strips of west-facing windows provide sufficient daylight to ground level food hall, but not mezzanine level

• Goal: Explore initial toplighting strategies

• Clear sawtooths

• Translucent sawtooths

• Clear skylights

• Translucent skylights

SECTION SHOWING BASELINE SIMULATION RESULTS

PRELIMINARY

RESULT | South-facing Clear Sawtooths

South-facing clear sawtooths bring in daylight into the mezzanine space, but it can get too bright in clear sky conditions.

DAYLIGHTING SIMULATIONS | RAINIER BEACH COMMUNITY

FINAL RESULT | North-facing Clear Sawtooths

North-facing clear sawtooths bring in sufficient daylight into the mezzanine space without being too bright in clear sky conditions.

LIGHTING GOALS + PRECEDENTS | RAINIER BEACH COMMUNITY KITCHEN

Balancing daylight and electrical lighting

Creating adjustable soft warm electrical lighting that highlights certain elements in the space:

• Booths along east wall

• Counter-height tables

• East wall

• Structure (timber columns)

PLACEHOLDER PROJECT

SPRING 2023 STUDIO

DESIGNED FOR ABUNDANCE

FARM

LOCATION:ABUNDANCE FARM, NORTHAMPTON, MA

The Placeholder Project aims to create a FIGURAL CENTER for the Abundance Farm by forming gathering spaces with raised planter beds and benches. The forms of the new pray area for outdoor services and a nature-scape educational garden respond to each other to create a formal center to the site. The playscape’s form opens up to engage with the WILDERNESS of the site and encourage EXPLORATION and BIOEDUCATION

ECO-HOTEL, CABINS, AND TENT PLATFORMS

LOCATION: HALIBUT POINT STATE PARK, ROCKPORT, MA

POINTING - CONCEPT SKETCH

The Halibut Point Hotel and Camp is built on an OLD GRANITE MINE which now resides as the Halibut Point Quarry. The project aims to CELEBRATE the granite mine’s significant contribution to local industry before its collapse in the late 1920s. The H.P. Hotel and Camp places a strong emphasis on SUSTAINABILITY , incorporating PV panels and a green roof on the main hotel building to reduce rainwater runoff and heat island effect. Floor-to-ceiling windows and the skylight above the main stairs also aim to maximize daylighting and minimize energy loads.

POTTING TABLE

SPRING 2023 DESIGN/BUILD STUDIO

DESIGNED

FOR ABUNDANCE FARM

LOCATION:ABUNDANCE FARM, NORTHAMPTON, MA

This is a 12 person design/build studio project to create a FUNCTIONAL potting table for Abundance Farm. The final design included STORAGE SPACE for dirt bins and shelves underneath each potting surface. Each potting surface is split in the middle by a wooden piece that holds potting instruction signs. The supporting pieces holding up the chicken wire takes on a treelike form that branches out to represent the growing plants.

RESIDENTIAL PROJECT

PROFESSIONAL WORK FOR TIA ARCHITECTS SUMMER 2022

Kept in mind during the production of the project is the concept of AIP (Aging in Place), meaning that this house is meant for elderly and disabled people to stay in for a long time. This is showcased through its open floor plan, with a common first floor space having access to a kitchen, dining, and living room space interconnected. Atop the house is a greenhouse which is reflective of TIA’s specialization in ecological architecture. Aesthetically, the house is of Japanese influence as noticed by its use of shoji and norens which are meant to accentuate the house’s relatability to nature. It also has a small elevator that goes to all floors for accessibility purposes.

ECOLOGICAL CARPORT

PROFESSIONAL WORK FOR TIA ARCHITECTS

SUMMER 2022

The design of the Ecological Carport is based on the principles of ecological architecture developed over the years by architect Tullio Inglese. This project aims to preserve the biosphere, which is critically important for all forms of life on Earth. The Ecological Carport physically elevates the biosphere and is designed to support a layer of soil which can be planted with ground cover and wild flowers, making it a perfect habitat for bees, insects, butterflies, and birds. While protecting cars from rain and snow, the Ecological Carport simultaneously provides a semi-enclosed area for a lawnmower, garden tools, and recycling containers.
