PROFILE ARCHITECTURE GRADUATE PRATT INSTITUTE NEW YORK, NY

My work is informed by experiences in design, planning, sustainability and construction. Rather than viewing architecture as a single discipline, I approach it through the systems, people, and processes that shape the built environment. That perspective guides the work presented throughout this portfolio.

Vancouver can redefine zoning and view corridors by allowing higher-density, mixed-use developments and reducing single-family zoning. Lowering certain view corridor restrictions will enable diverse housing options and create inclusive neighborhoods that balance density with access to nature.

Fredrick Biehle

Individual Project

OVERVIEW NYCHA-TURE reimagines a NYCHA superblock as a connected, mixed-use neighborhood that strengthens the relationship between housing, landscape, and the public realm. This proposal addresses the isolation created by the “tower in the park” typology, where superblocks interrupt pedestrian movement and disconnect residents from surrounding neighborhoods. By introducing new connections, public amenities, and landscape as infrastructure, the project transforms underutilized open space into an active urban environment.

DESIGN FRAMEWORK 1. Original Superblock Isolated towers surrounded by residual open space and limited pedestrian connections.

2. Pergola Network A linked pergola network establishes new pedestrian paths and frames circulation through the superblock while maintaining porosity.

3. Structure + Infill Mixed-use infill buildings frame the streets, activate the ground plane and create edges and courtyards.

4. Ecology + Seasonality

EXISTING NYCHA Towers NEW HOUSING (Mixed-Income) COMMUNITY Commercial/Civic PERGOLA Network LANDSCAPE Seasonal Gardens

Seasonal gardens and ecological systems bring biodiversity, manage stormwater, and support community life.

5. Integrated Proposal Reinstates the historic street grid to create permeable connections between the superblock and surrounding neighborhood.

PHYSICAL MODEL The physical model studies the relationships between the existing towers, new infill, pedestrian network, and landscape at the scale of the block.

OVERALL SITE MODEL

PERGOLA + PEDESTRIAN NETWORK

SEASONAL GARDEN + MIXED-USE EDGE

Elevated pergolas in three varying heights frame key pedestrian axes and public spaces, providing shelter, supporting foliage, and creating visual continuity and wayfinding throughout the site.

Landscape corridors and mixed-use edges bring native plantings, food production, and local businesses closer to residents, reconnecting the superblock with the surrounding neighborhood.

Partnered Project In collaboration with Jessa Ocampo

OVERVIEW Gardenity Apartments organizes private residences and community programs around a shared central atrium, creating a gradient of spaces that support connection across multiple scales. Private balconies serve individual generations, shared common areas connect families on each floor, central circulation encourages interaction between levels, and community facilities at the ground floor and roof extend this network throughout the building. Together, these spaces create a village of support, balancing privacy and collective connection. As an integrated building systems project, the design coordinates structure, envelope, environmental systems, and circulation.

STRUCTURAL COORDINATION + DOCUMENTATION The structural system supports the residential perimeter while preserving the central atrium and larger ground-floor community spaces.

TYPICAL STRUCTURAL PLAN SHEET

Longer structural spans reduce columns within the apartments while limiting beam and girder depth.

STRUCTURAL TRANSVERSE SECTION

The mega column transfers upper-floor loads while preserving wider spans at the ground level.

WALL-TO-SLAB CONNECTION

PHYSICAL MODEL

Hooked dowels and a bonded joint maintain continuity between the wall and slab.

The model studies the residential perimeter, central atrium, façade depth, and shared roofscape.

SOUTH SECTION / INTERIOR ELEVATION

The atrium serves as the building’s organizing void, with residential floors, shared circulation, and rooftop structures layered around it.

INTEGRATED BUILDING SYSTEMS Mechanical, plumbing, envelope, and life-safety systems are coordinated through the atrium, service cores, and residential perimeter.

EXPANSION VALVE These phase changes in the refrigerant cycle allow for the efficient transfer of heat from the conditioned space to the outside environment. The compression and condensation phases release heat, while the expansion and HIGH PRESSURE LOW PRESSURE evaporation phases absorb heat, resulting in a continuous cycle that enables the cooling equipment to maintain the desired temperature in the conditioned space.

These phase changes in the refrigerant cycle allow for the efficient transfer of heat from the conditioned space to the outside environment.

Park Preservation Site Ethics Integrated Systems

Donald Cromley Caroline Grieco

Partnered Project In collaboration with Jessa Ocampo

OVERVIEW Situated on the Lower East Side of New York City, Mercato di Manhatta questions how new architecture can occupy an already active public landscape without erasing what gives it value. Rather than treating the site as vacant ground, the project responds to the park’s existing recreation, gathering spaces, and tree canopy by concentrating enclosed programs and preserving as much open space as possible. A continuous curvilinear canopy connects planted terraces, flexible public space, and accessible circulation, while integrated environmental systems support long-term public use and ecological performance.

SITE ETHICS AND DESIGN RESPONSE The site occupies an existing basketball court, prompting an open form that maintains public access beyond program hours. Educational, entrepreneurial, and communal programs compensate for the court’s removal while creating new opportunities for continued community use.

Adjustable louvers and curved walls reduce direct solar exposure across open and conditioned spaces.

4 PASSIVE COOLING

Photovoltaic louvers generate electricity while adjusting to solar conditions to reduce heat gain and glare.

Cross-ventilation moves air through the open canopy and east–west façade openings to support passive cooling.

+ SDG: 10 Add more non mar

OVERVIEW Vancouver’s protected view corridors preserve visual access to the mountains and waterfront, but they also restrict development in areas already constrained by extensive singlefamily zoning. This mapping study compares scenic protections, density patterns, and potential development scenarios to examine how planning policy contributes to the city’s housing shortage. It identifies opportunities for strategic height increases and mixed-use growth that preserve Vancouver’s connection to its landscape while supporting a more affordable, inclusive, and sustainable urban future.

As a result, it is cooler and Wetter, with snow more common at higher elevations. Summers are generally warm But moderated by the area's proximity to rivers and forests.

Vancouver can redefine oning and view corridors by llowing higher-density, mixed-use developments and educing single-family zoning. owering certain view corrior restrictions will enable iverse housing options and reate inclusive neighboroods that balance density with access to nature.

Vancouver's view corridors are carefully protected sightlines that preserve the city's views of surrounding mountains, the waterfront, and significant landmarks. Established in response to increasing urban density, these corridors guide building heights and placement to ensure unobstructed views from public spaces, particularly in the downtown area.

metro vancouver shoutheast It experiences some of the most extreme temperatures in the metro area due to its inland location, lower elevation and proximity to the Fraser Valley. Summers are warmer and drier than in coastal areas, with occasional heat waves. Winters are colder with more frequent frost and snowfall, particularly in higher elevations. The lack of oceanic moderation leads to greater temperature swings throughout the year.
