Boulder Calorado Boutique Hotel

India, Dharavi

CONCEPTUAL URBAN SECTION

A conceptual section was developed to address flooding in Mumbai, specifically in Dharavi. The design utilizes cisterns to store and reuse rainwater collected through rain gardens and permeable pavement systems, allowing water to filter through the ground into a controlled system. Additionally, the design is derived from matrix lines—lines taken from streets and building edges that are overlaid onto the site to generate dynamic and engaging geometry.

India, Dharavi

This design serves as a multi-production facility for the people of Dharavi, India. Known for their entrepreneurial spirit and resilience, the community thrives despite challenging living conditions. The facility includes production spaces for pottery, recycling, leather goods, and textiles, supporting local industries and craftsmanship.

Vertical Circulation / Service Cores

Vertical Circulation / Columns

Vertical Circulation / Columns / Trusses

Horizontal Structure / Slabs

Enclosure / Load Bearing / Facade

The design process used lines from nearby buildings to create a foundational layout, evolving from rough models to a refined systems model incorporating columns and load-bearing walls. Inspired by architect Cutler Anderson, the design breaks away from traditional box forms, introducing voids, unique facade patterns, and extruded elements to add depth and harmony with the environment. This project stands as a landmark of Regional Modernism, offering a luxurious, functional space that connects deeply with Boulder’s unique landscape and community.

In Boulder Colorado, at 1700 Broadway, a new Boutique hotel captures the spirit of regionalism Modernism, offering stunning Nature views of The Rocky Mountains, bringing Natural Beauty to the community. There are a plethora of outdoor activities for the mild climate to engage like hiking, biking, and rock climbing. Which makes this location ideal for a hotel refelcting the surrounding.

This Botique Hotel holds spaces like Resturants, Public / private Offices, an Indoor recreational / Gym area, and a Gallery area. There are a total of 60 Hotel rooms each accomidating a Bathroom, Bed, Television, shelfing, cabinets, and a Sofa.

SHAPE-INTO-FORM PARK PAVILION

FINAL MODEL

The Shape-Into-Form concept transforms a square into a rectangular prism. The cliff is inspired by Bassin Bleu, a natural water site in Jacmel, Haiti. This popular tourist destination attracts visitors who come to admire the scenery and swim in its waters.

ROUGH MODEL

The entrance begins at the top of the cliff, descending into the building’s first sub-level, where part of the floor leads to the Gallery Room for art pieces. Continuing downward to the second sub-level, visitors are welcomed by the viewing and resting room. A small coffee shop is situated behind the stairs, with restrooms located adjacent to it. Further down, the second gallery, known as the Ballroom, awaits.

The design process involved careful consideration of spatial layout, building form, and sunlight entry. Structural elements were also evaluated, including mullion design and the cantilevering of the building over the cliff.

WOOD FRAME MODEL

This project involved modeling a sample wood-frame house, requiring extensive research on construction detailing and assembly methods. The process provided valuable insight into structural building techniques, standard construction materials, and the overall workflow of wood-frame construction.

This ongoing project involves generating objects from three curves processed in Grasshopper and outputted to Rhino. The goal is to create dynamic geometric forms and effectively communicate their features.
