“A design for recovery of lost resources”
High Knit is a mixed use commercial tower located in uptown Charllotte, surrounded by the city’s prominent educational institutions including LEED certified UNC Center City building. The tower opens an opportunity to collobrate with the neighboring educational insititutions to develop a 198,120 gross sq.ft building with 150,000 sq ft of commerical space
The design is developed considering the intangible site elements. The deconstructive structure communicates the history of natural and manmade disasters through innovative smart facades.

“Every travel experience is influenced by some kind of expectations. Reaching out and achieving those expectations satisfy the purpose of travel. This volumetric space encourages a new spirit to push the limits of travel.”
The Idaho concrete masonry Association provided the third-year architectural students of the University of Idaho with an opportunity to design a regional Moscow-Pullman airport using concrete masonry units as the main material. The design challenges the acoustic characteristics of a masonry unit, by creating a soft curvilinear surface that directs the circulation movement inside the building. Incorporating the sky as a limit, the design allows the space to receive natural daylighting with the help of a massive overhang window situated on the East facade, while at the same time welcoming the new visitors with a spectacular view of Moscow Mountain.

“As a landing place, the IMID provides belonging to all displaced people of the world. It contributes to the built, cultural, and economic vitality of the Boise community. The impression of the IMID story endures in the hearts and memories of all who visit”
The Idaho Museum of International Diaspora (IMID) displays a wide culture and history of the diverse communities settled in Boise, allowing every individual to celebrate and explore a variety of immersive global, cultural, and intellectual experiences right here in Idaho.
Inspired by the World Center for Birds of Prey, known for protecting extinct species and giving them a new home. The Idaho Museum of International Diaspora acts as a home for all wanderers of the world and their stories. Its form, representative of a nest symbolizes hope within. Along with the universal inclusive design, the building aligns with IMID’s goals to provide safety and well-being.

The green exterior ramp seamlessly continues the circulation inside the building taking a form of a central spiral core. This way of movement is sensitive to all age groups and capabilities, ensuring an equal experience for everyone. The exposed douglas fir gridshell structure covered with zinc roof cladding provides protection against extreme Boise weather, while at the same time creating a comforting warmth throughout the building.

The Moscow Affordable Housing Trust is a twinhouse unit located in Moscow, Idaho. The project challenged us to satisfy the needs of the client to include having one ADA accessible bedroom & bathroom on the first floor, along with a community gathering space. Our team of final year undergraduate students were successful in providing spacious bedroom on the first floor with barrier-free circulation between the kitchen, dining, living, and personal deck area for the client. The shared entrance allowed for community interaction.

Located at the heart of a vibrant city, the San Antonio International Airport aims to overcome the rising growth of passenger demand through the construction of Terminal C. My contribution to the project began with multiple explorations of daylighting analysis for the ticketing area to provide glare reduction in highly active zone. Over the early schematic design phase, I created multiple study exhibits to understand the baggage handling systems, gatehouse programming, aircraft parking layouts, vertical circulation and hold room seating arrangements. With the progression of the project to a 30% Schematic Design set, I was accountable for generating life safety plans and understanding the occupant load for the terminal.
