MAISON DES VIGNES PROJECT: 4th Year Capstone Project TYPE: Hospitality and Education YEAR: 2026 LOCATION: Ile de la Barthelasse, France AREA: 24,000 SF KEYWORDS: Reconnection , Immsersion, Discovery, and Tradition Maison des Vignes is an immersive winery retreat designed to reconnect visitors with the culture, landscape, and traditions of Provence. Rooted in the Rhône Valley, the design strengthens the relationship between architecture and vineyard through framed views, natural light, and restorative spaces that reflect the rhythm of rural life. Thoughtful spatial sequencing guides guests through experiences inspired by winemaking, from discovery and education to tasting and reflection. Natural materials, warm textures, and a calm atmosphere encourage visitors to slow down, engage their senses, and build a deeper appreciation for the land and enduring traditions of Provence.

HERITAGE CROSSING PROJECT: Gensler Group Intern Project TYPE: Master plan and Multi-use Commercial YEAR: 2025 LOCATION: Richmond, Texas AREA: 36 Acres KEYWORDS: Community, Walk-ability, Legacy This project had several key components, beginning with the overall master plan. I contributed to the initial programming for a new town center in Richmond, Texas, which laid the foundation for the work that followed. Along with this, we focused on three main buildings: The Rainbow Room, The Tree House, and The Barn. Each space thoughtfully designed around our core values of service, legacy, and spirit. In doing so, we sought to reflect and carry forward the rich history and guiding principles that the George Foundation has long established within the community.

THE TREEHOUSE Ground Floor: (coffee bar, boutique retail, food and beverage, public restrooms) approx. 15,000 SF Second Floor: (co-working, event space, meeting rooms, terraces) approx. 12,000 SF Circulation and Building Core: approx. 3,000 SF The Tree house is inspired by the spirit of the Nancy Jones Oak Tree, a place where memories were made, stories were shared, and people came together. Re-imagined as a welcoming space rooted in community, curiosity, and connection, it is meant to be a central gathering spot to explore, relax, and enjoy each other’s company. Much of my time on this project was spent in space planning, modeling, and aiding in renders to capture the nostalgia and wonder of a true tree house.

THE GILDED REVERIE PROJECT: 3rd Year Studio Project TYPE: Hospitality YEAR: 2025 LOCATION: Chicago, Illinois AREA: 7,165 SF KEYWORDS: Moody, Anticipation, Passion, Comfort, Warmth This hotel lobby is designed to spark curiosity and anticipation. Inspired

by Midnight in Paris, it blends nostalgia and richness to create a timeless, welcoming atmosphere. A palette of deep browns, soft greens, and warm tones sets the mood, while Parisian streetlamp–inspired lighting adds depth. Materials like aged brass, velvet, stone, and rich woods bring character, while feather-like curves guide guests through the space. More than comfort, the design encourages reflection, connection, and discovery, inviting guests to slow down and engage meaningfully.

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE PROJECT: 3rd Year Interior Design and Architecture Studio Project TYPE: Education YEAR: 2024 LOCATION: Lafayette, Louisiana AREA: 800 SF KEYWORDS: Community, Wellness, Growth, Connection This two-week multidisciplinary charrette focused on designing an intergenerational gathering center that promotes sustainability, wellness, and community connection. The project addresses health challenges across generations through programs like farm to table education, where elders teach gardening and cooking while children share technology skills in return. Integrating the water, plant, and life cycles, the design reflects harmony between people and nature, with fluid organic forms and overhangs inspired by the site’s coulee that channel light and rainwater to nourish the community garden, symbolizing renewal and self-sufficiency.

The elderly are a primary focus, playing a crucial role in passing down knowledge by teaching gardening, cooking, and other essential skills, especially with the nearby university offering opportunities to engage college students who may be eager to learn or lack access to such education. The space supports this exchange through a garden for planting and harvesting, a kitchen for transforming fresh produce into meals, and gathering areas for daily activities such as teaching, play, and markets selling uncooked crops, along with essential facilities like restrooms and places for social interaction.

CONCEPT IDEAS

­

The Human Cycle is when the human body goes throught several changes throughout their life. Proper nutrition and excerise ensure a healthy life style and are required for human growth.

The farm-to-table cycle involves gardening, producing and distributing fruit, delivering it to consumers, and finally, the food is cooked by the consumer. This cycle is important because there is a lack of foods that provide nutrition.

Plants use water and carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis,producing oxygen and glucose This process not only sustains the plants but also provides oxygen for other living organisms.

Water is essential for all life forms. It moves through the environment via processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Plants absorb water from the soil, which is crucial for their growth and survival.
