ARH 608: Advanced Design Studio II Project: Modern Art Museum Instructors: Mark Mückenheim/Maria Paz Location: Berlin, Germany Semester: Fall 2021 Software: Revit Enscape AutoCad
The objective is to create a modern art museum in the heart of culture in the city of Berlin. The museum building will became a symbol on Berlin area. The building design was developed to make the public an easy way to approach it with the way the circu lation was designed, not just inside it but outside too. All public goes to the center of it after the exhibitions spaces, creating a big gathering. The design of the building also creates gaps on it so from all sides it is possible to approach the main lobby.

Project: Hotel Interior Design
Instructor: Kathleen Valkuchak Location: Oakland, California Semeter: Spring 2019 Software: Revit Enscape Photoshop
Located in 1540 Broadway St. in the city of Oakland, California. The objective of the project is to blend and connect art and with people. Downtown Oakland has an en vironment bustling with interface culture and art, and the hotel will bring this experi ence to the guest. Feel emotion and experience was the starting point of my concept for the Hotel. A hotel is a place where people comes from everywhere and will stay for few nights with different propose of the visit. No matter the reasons behind the visit , everyone bring a different background, which will create a connection build an atmosphere. Oakland art is expressive in the city with theaters, galleries, art murals, so my idea is bring this through the hotel. My concept will blend all those aspects people and build ing + Oakland intertwining them, creating a unique experience at the hotel, where people will enjoy and want stay more interacting with all.

Project: Community Center Instructor: Serena Zenello
Location: Portland, Oregon Semeter: Fall 2018
Software: Revit AutoCAD Photoshop
The proposal of the community center is to create an environment where everyone of the neighborhood can go to have the classes offered or stay at the coffee shop area, the propose of the building is to be welcoming to all.
The community center is a place where people wants to feel that they are in their HOME. Refugees do not have a home, so it is hard for them feel safe. Home is synonymous shelter and relates to safety. People that are running away from their country need feel that they are safe. Refugees migrates as birds, so the DOVE bird is the symbol of the community center.
Dove birds are symbol of love, peace and harmony, which will be applied in the center name -LOPEHA (LOVE,PEACE and HARMONY). Attached to the community center building, there is a residence area for those people which will need a house for a while when they arrived in U.S as a refugee. The objective is to create a comfortable home for a family with kids. The units are the same size with neutral colors and a balcony. The adults could work as volunteer in the community center while their kids are learning in one of the classes. The building architecture will explore the relationship between outside nature and the building with fluid lines and organic geometries in the facade has the inspiration of waves sound, using a mix of traditional and contemporary material as wood and aluminum.

Solomon Cordwell Buenz Project: Multi-family High Rise Building Amenities and apart ments staging Location: San Francisco Semester: Spring 2019 Software: Revit Enscape Photoshop
50 Jones Street pulls from the historic context in which it resides. By creating mod ern expression in precast concrete while still blending and alluding to the scale of the masonry of surrounding buildings, this project acts as a critical piece in revitaliz-ing mid-market. It successfully adds to the landscape without overpowering the historic buildings that makes Market the r recognizable area it is. Although individual apartments imply separation between people, the success of 50 Jones relies on the communal spaces developed to encourage interaction and a sense of community for the tenants; creating a neighborhood within a single build ing. The project team ( SCB Interiors Studio) was to have refined finishes and relaxing amenities to the residents. With a collective kitchen, landscaped courtyard and plenty of collaborative spaces, people are able to create relationships and experiences that are unique to this building.

Project: Airbnb Furniture Staging Location: Chicago Semester: Spring 2022
This project, located in Chicago, was designed for a client that leases his apart ments as Airbnb spaces to tourists who visit the city. There are two apartment units with the same layout and finishes, and the goal is to create an impact on guests when they are looking for a place to stay. The furniture selection is based on the short-term leasing needs of the client. With the budget already set , I purchased the furniture and accessories and staged each space for future rentals. Art work was one of the must-haves in the units, so it pops in the pictures.
