INTERIORS PRESENTATION MODEL // Perkins&Will

For a client presentation regarding the focal point of this project, the large, glazed lobby, a partner and I assembled this 1/4” scale model. Lit with LEDs, the model was presented to the client with 3 options for the porous accent wall, highlighted in photos on the left and right.

QUINCHO TRANSLATION // DESIGN STUDIO V

Design Studio V at IE University tasked us to explore a case study of wood construction, then translate the project to serve a new purpose at a new site. My group and I analyzed the techniques utilized in the Quincho en Curacavi for structural, labor, and aesthetic goals, then re-purposed the materials for a pavilion meant to give passerbys the ability to inhabit and interact with Segovia’s medieval wall. We maintained the logic and essence of the original project, while transforming the private structure into one that fosters gathering and appreciation of the city’s heritage.

Through drawings, diagrams, and collaged renders, our team structured our final review like a project pursuit to a historical board, expressing how our new intervention would transform the site, promote tourism, and create new experiences for exploring the historic city of Segovia, Spain.

MULTI-PURPOSE ARENA //

Working as part of a large team of designers and consultants, I supported key communication efforts on this collegiate hockey arena redevelopment.

At almost 300,000 sf and with a budget of over $400 million, every client presentation required clear graphic representation of ideas. For schematic design submission, I was a core team member for Revit drafting. Involved in both modeling and graphic clean up, my efforts covered building sections and floors 5 and 6.

URBAN WALK-UP HOUSING // ARCH 2140

This project tackled the monumental task of providing homes for a diverse demographic of occupants. With design goals of creating spatially and economically efficient units and outdoor and corridor spaces for personalized living, I proposed a series of duplex units situated along one central corridor. The pinwheel plan and multi-level units allow for sufficient access to light and air, while the corridor niches transform the corridor into a vibrant urban condition upon which the personality of each resident can extend.

On opening day of the new, interactive installation at Boston’s Lawn on D, the project’s designers at Perkins&Will asked me to document the interaction, joy, and curiosity the new piece inspired. I was delighted to capture candid photos of the impact of the art piece in the city.
