Life House

Life House Atlanta is a pallative care retreat center for medically fragile children and their families which I designed within my 3rd year of architecture school. My design embrasses the idea of color therapy as a peace inducing feature for the families and kids who are inhabiting the space.

This project was also selected by the Kennesaw State Architecture Faculty as top architecture project to be displayed in the architecture building hallway from school term 2021 - current.

Life House Atlanta Our studio paired with Life House Atlanta to design a respite and palliative care retreat facility for medically fragile children with shortened life expectancies. This facility will provide up to 30 days a year for the children’s stay at the retreat. The families are also provided with residential seperate residential space and communial lounges. Life House allows for the children and the family to engage in self-renewing and extracuricular activties such as a computer gaming room and a hydrotherapry pool. The main focus of this project is to provide the children who are the main residents of this facility a place that encapsulates the ideas of a home while including fun foreve , exciting and enjoyable kid friendly experiences they will remember forever.

Single Family Residence

This project showcases my skills in revit modeling showcasing building sections wall details and floor plan organization and curation of a Single Family Residence within my 3rd year in architecture school.

Single Family Residence This project reflects the understandings of utilizing computer programs such as revit to achieve a full three deminsional model and renderings. This model creation required students to learn how to design a residential family home with proper wall material and thicknesses spacings, sqaurefootage, program allocation , window and door placements aswell as furniture.

The Quad

In my 4th year of architecture schooI I designed a student learning facility while implementing integrative sustainable studies and reaserch to optimize building usages.

AM

The Quad

Provides students and faculty with a indoor and outdoor spaces to learn , collaborate and enjoy campus life on central green space of the marietta campus. This building goal is to provide an central hub for students to learn and lounge with minimal disruption to the nearby greenery.
