Flyte is a theatre based around the architecture of Viking longhouses, and the finish is informed by Scandinavian interior design. It is meant to serve as a theater for spoken word performances such as comedy and poetry.
The plan is symmetrical and splits down the Longitudinal axis mimicking the form of a Viking longhouse. The most unique element is the two stages. I did this because spoken word theaters and clubs often have multiple performances in quick sessions. Having two stages makes that process move faster and provides the possibility for events like flyting (poetry battles).
The space has several layers of seating in a variety of forms, the goal was to make this setting feel like a spontaneous community event, so the seating takes place on the floor and is very close to the stage.

This restaurant was designed to be inside the Henry Reid airport, so it will have to compete with the other restaurants in the area. The exterior was made eye-catching to draw in patrons. The Fast service nature of the restaurant can quickly serve patrons leaving them time to catch their flight.
The interior of the restaurant has an industrial feel to imply that the focus was on the food. However, it is still very modern and intentionally designed with a lot of detail.
Multigenerational Aging in Place Home
located in Roswell New Mexico. The design of the house mainly focuses on catering to the physical and mental conditions within the family, such as arthritis, deafness, autism, and asthma.
ADA Accessible dishwasher
Apron sink makes leaning over the sink easier and more accessible.
The main areas of the home focused a lot on sustainability and accessibility for all of the family members. The house included many amenities such as a courtyard, gym, gaming area, and a rooftop lounge.
Each bedroom was personalized to the person inhabiting it. All of their individual needs wants, and interests were taken into consideration and informed the design process.
A hotel suite designed for W Hotels, inspired by hacienda-style homes found in Mexico. The influence of a Mexican architectural style was derived from this hotel’s location in Mexico City. The challenge was making an exterior architecture style work as the interior design of a room. Also, I adding elements of design that were prominent in the W Hotels branding, such as having murals on walls in their rooms.
This project started off as a hand drawn floor plan, with the three dimensional element provided by the foamcore model. I choose to recreate the project in a three dimensional space to gain a better understanding of the scale and the relationship of the spaces.
In this project I put a big emphasis on materials and how they relate to the source materials. I also wanted to take design elements that are not traditionally associated with modernism and luxury, and make them fit in this world class hotel suite.

The Madelyne Resort is a 200 key hotel and casino located in the vibrant city of Macau. The concept for the hotel was inspired by the pottery native to the two countries that contributes to Macau’s culture: China and Portugal. The concept uses the shared love of blue and white
ceramics, commonly known as Azulejo in Portugal and Qīnghuācí in China. The casino provides a number of amenities, including two gaming floors, a speciality restaurant, food hall, clinical spa, nightclub, VR experience, high limits gaming room, art gallery, and more.
● Fiber optic lights are embedded in the ceiling to create a glittering effect and make the environment responsive to the gaming.
● The “ vase sculptures” use pendants that disguise light and cameras over the gaming tables.
● Designed using anti-microbial materials to prevent infections.
● Modeled based on doctor offices to host small scale cosmetic procedures.
● Polar rooms are becoming increasingly common to serve as a form of cold therapy.
● Due to the resort’s location in tropical Macau, it made more sense to include a colder than normal environment in place of a sauna.
● A waterfall is built off of the hot tub to introduce the sound of falling water into the space.
● The ceiling of the spa is embossed with plaster floral work and grazed with light for a subtle design element.
Nest is a 3500 SQ FT convenience store, to be located in close proximity to a college campus. Nest is a modern evolution of the everyday convenience store, modeled after the
dominate style of store in Japan. Nest will provide the everyday essentials to the busy clientele the location serves.
It separates itself from other C-Stores
by serving a function as a “third place”. The store boast two sit down areas akin to those found in coffee shops, that will keep their clientele on location longer, leading to more purchase opportunities.
Like many other C-Stores, Nest also serves as a gas station to draw in commuter students. This location can service 6 gas powered cars and 8 electric cars, as it looks to cater to an
environmentally conscious demographic. The natural material palette speaks to that environmentalism.
Gas Station

● Two seating areas are on display from outside of the build to draw in consumers.
● More desirable items such as drinks and ready-to-go foods are on the edges of the the building, to make consumers walk through the secondary products stored in the center.

.
● Illuminated signs can be seen through windows to attract customers.
