DRIA CAFE 2025
DRAWING FROM THE INTRICATE STRUCTURE OF MITOCHONDRIA, THE CAFE’S FLOWING ORGANIC FORM SYMBOLIZES ENERGY CONVERSION, WHILE SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATED RADIANT COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEMS MAINTAIN A COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT WITHIN ITS OPEN-AIR SPACE.
THE DESIGN TOOK INSPIRATION FROM THE SEED CATHEDRAL’S INWARD-CURVING WALLS, AQUA TOWER’S WAVY PROTRUSIONS, AND UKHAMBA PAVILION’S LAYERED FACADE-EACH SERVING A DISTINCT PURPOSE, FROM ENHANCING IMMERSION TO HOUSING WATER TANKS AND MANAGING CONDENSATION.
IN LINE WITH PETER ZUMTHOR’S EMPHASIS ON FUNCTIONAL DETAILS, THESE ELEMENTS ALSO CREATE A BOUNDARY BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACE, REINFORCING DRIA’S ROLE AS AN INVITING REFUGE WHERE VISITORS CAN PAUSE AND ENGAGE WITH THEIR SURROUNDINGS.

ROOTS TO CANOPY 2025
NESTLED BEHIND THE THOMAS P. MURPHY DESIGN STUDIO ON THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI’S CORAL GABLES CAMPUS, THE “ROOTS TO CANOPY” TREE HOUSE SERVES AS A RESTORATIVE SANCTUARY THAT BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN THE ACADEMIC STUDIO AND THE NATURAL WORLD. BY UTILIZING THE SITE’S DENSE FOLIAGE, THE STRUCTURE TRANSFORMS THE EXISTING LANDSCAPE INTO A FUNCTIONAL SPACE FOR STUDY AND REFLECTION, OFFERING A MORE IMMERSIVE AND ELEVATED EXPERIENCE THAN TRADITIONAL OUTDOOR SEATING. ITS MOST STRIKING FEATURE IS A DYNAMIC STAIRCASE THAT SUBTLY EMERGES AS VISITORS APPROACH WITHIN 15 FEET AND RECEDES AS THEY MOVE AWAY, ADDING AN INTERACTIVE LAYER OF DISCOVERY TO THE ENVIRONMENT. ULTIMATELY, THE PROJECT REDEFINES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND ECOLOGY, PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH AN INSPIRING, OPEN-AIR RETREAT DESIGNED FOR BOTH FOCUSED WORK AND SPONTANEOUS CONNECTION.
