About Content

I’m Ashley Gonzalez, a student at the University of Oklahoma. I’m in my senior year at the Christopher Gibbs College of Architecture, pursuing the 5-year path bachelor's and a master's degree in architecture. I’m also minoring in environmental studies, as I’m interested in making architecture a more sustainable practice.

I’m from the Dominican Republic, and before studying at the University of Oklahoma, I went to United World Colleges of the Adriatic in Italy, this allowed me to graduate with an international baccalaureate diploma.

Bella Vista Urban Housing

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma-

In this project, I was tasked with developing a low-income infill housing solution in West Oklahoma City. My design proposal specifically addresses the significant challenge of insufficient sunlight in the area. To maximize natural light, I incorporated two bars with a 14-foot-wide courtyard between them, allowing sunlight to penetrate both sides of the buildings. The strategic use of glass as the primary facade material further enhances the access to natural sunlight throughout the day.
