LOCATION: RED HOOK, NYC I TYPE: PUBLIC
GROUP PROJECT I 2024 SPRING PATNER: RANISHA
Project Redhood is an academic design proposal for a commercial hub in Red Hook, NYC, integrating a market, greenhouse, and waste-composting facility. Elevated 16 feet to mitigate flooding, it is surrounded by wetlands for flood control and biodiversity enhancement. The ground floor features a cave-inspired public park, while the upper levels house a market, education center with ocean views, and a rooftop greenhouse. A factory at the rear ensures efficient operations. Three atriums provide natural light, ventilation, and indoor gardens, promoting sustainability and energy efficiency. The project blends nature, innovation, and community engagement into a resilient urban space.
Showcased an innovative waste-to-energy design project at the AIANY exhibition, selected for its sustainable approach and contribution to efficient architectural solutions.

ROSE DE LIMA O2
LOCATION: MONTREAL, QUEBEC I TYPE: RESIDENTIAL INDIVIDUAL PROJECT I 2022-2023 PROFESSIONAL WORK
Project 136 Rose De Lima is a renovation project located in Montreal, Quebec.
Our client seeks to add a new floor to the existing two-floor building, renovate the interior apartments, and update the exterior facade to create six units that will cater to the needs of young families. Our objective is to find a cost-effective construction and architectural design solution that will enhance the property’s value and attract our target demographic.

HYPER BUILDING O3
LOCATION: VIENNA, AUSTRIA I TYPE: RESIDENTIAL
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT I 2024 FALL
This Hyper building project reimagines the integration of urban functionality by combining a biomass power plant, social housing, a park, and a WWII bunker into a cohesive architectural solution located in Vienna, Austria. The design explores adaptive reuse and sustainability, transforming the bunker into a subterranean garden and housing essential biomass machinery, while the rooftop park fosters biodiversity and community interaction. By rotating the housing layout, the project creates unconventional architectural spaces where windows become entrances, circulation paths emerge, and new spatial experiences evolve. This “living machine” not only provides energy and food for the community but also redefines the relationship between infrastructure, nature, and habitation. The goal is to merge practicality with innovative design, ensuring livability and ecological synergy.
Featured a forward-thinking Hyper-building design project on the Pratt website, highlighting innovative architectural concepts and progressive building strategies.
PAINTING PROJECT O4
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT I FINE ART WORK
This collection features a series of hand-sketched fine art pieces, including self-portraits and expressive compositions, created over the past few years. Using mixed media such as colored pencils, markers, sketch pens, watercolor, and cut paper, these works explore identity, emotion, and storytelling through layered textures and vibrant contrasts. Each piece reflects a personal artistic journey, capturing raw expression and the spontaneity of hand-drawn techniques.

METROPOLITIAN PROJECT
LOCATION: BROOKLYN, NY I TYPE: RESIDENTIAL
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT I 2021 PROFESSIONAL WORK
The 6125-6185 Boul. Metropolitan project is a 60,000 sq. ft. commercial renovation in eastern Montreal. It involves two existing two-story buildings, with offices and showrooms in the front and a warehouse in the back. The renovation includes a full interior and exterior update, featuring an Alucobond facade for durability and cost efficiency. The interior will be reconfigured to accommodate two two-story showrooms. A key challenge is integrating the separate buildings into a cohesive structure, solved by constructing a connecting bridge. With strategic planning, the project will deliver a modern, functional, and visually appealing commercial space that meets the client’s needs.
FARRAGUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
LOCATION: BROOKLYN, NY I TYPE: RESIDENTIAL GROUP PROJECT I 2023 PARTNER: AYMAN & QUINN
The Farragut House project in Brooklyn, New York, aims to create an environmentally friendly and affordable housing solution by adding 1,000 new units to the existing 13 residential towers. To achieve this, we plan to renovate the interiors to increase apartment numbers by 25% and add 10 stories to each tower using Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), reducing carbon emissions by approximately 60% compared to concrete. Additionally, we will construct mounds on the ground level, covered with natural grass and plants, serving as community centers and local retail spaces within, thus fostering a vibrant and self-sustaining neighborhood while preserving the ground and enhancing green spaces.
