Modular Accessory Dwelling Unit
With the passage of new laws and increasing demand, the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is having a moment. In this exercise, the ADU is designed with a cost effective lens: Modular and customizable combinations. A fluid transition between the exteri-or and interior was a main motivation. The introduction of myriad floor plans comes from the interchangeable end conditions of each main living module and the door-ways that create exchangeable connection points between modules.

Little Tokyo/Arts District Area TOD and Masterplan
Located in between LA’s Little Tokyo and Arts Districts, this large infrastructure upgrade in the area will create a renewed necessity for TOD. The master plan will provide many new business and living opportunities surrounding the new station that is to be built as part of a new regional connector. Organized in points of interest leading away from the station, the master plan consists of four sites that are each focused on a single use: Housing in one corner, offices on the other, etc. The center area around the station is reserved for commercial uses with some residential opportunities on the upper floors. Each end is resolved with office buildings that anchor the master plan in order to provide balance to the project.
beginning to think about the design of the Master plan, a simple diagram created in order to develop space. As can be seen above, the focus is on four areas, with connecting circulation between them, eminating from a central metro station).

Mixed Use Project
This Mixed Use Project is designed in a courtyard scheme, with a single loaded corridor on every residential level facing this central green space. The ground floor is entirely commercial and includes a large opening that draws pedestrians from the street and into the courtyard.

Mount Vetter Scientific Research and Observation Facility
This research and observation facility utilizes the hexagon in both plan and section, with the towers taking the shape on in plan, and the bridge in section. The first tower houses the public circulation through the project, allowing for hikers to rest in a sheltered area with expansive views of the surrounding mountains. The shorter tower houses the residency and office space for the resident scientists that remain here while conducting their researching.
