GABRIEL HERNANDEZ ARCHITECTURAL PORTFOLIO

ME

Growing up in a rural farm town, I witnessed ﬁrsthand how land is utilized to its maximum potential. This background has ingrained in me a deep appreciation for efﬁciency and resourcefulness. I enjoy the challenge of maximizing the experience in any space, whether it is small or large, ensuring that every element is purposeful and enhances the overall design.

MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENTS - BELLEVUE

PROFESSIONAL WORK: FALL 2020 W/ LINK DESIGN GROUP

This project was an 8-story multi-family residential development in Bellevue, WA. As a contributing member, I actively participated in various facets of this project, including conceptual design, massing analysis, floor plan development, space planning, as well as the creation of diagrams and renders. Additionally, I played a key role in preparing and assembling the Design Review Submittal for the City of Bellevue.

PROFESSIONAL WORK: SUMMER 2022 W/ MG2

My contribution on this project was to create 3D visualizations to illustrate how the three proposed facilities would integrate into Bellevue's existing and future urban landscape. I ensured that the visuals accurately reflected Bellevue's development goals, highlighting potential impacts on traffic flow, community spaces, and environmental considerations.

PACK HOUSE

GRADUATE SPRING 2020: 2nd place WOOD + Studio Competition

An agriculture package house integrated with a mixed-use development—including restaurants, retail, and residential units— bridges the gap between urban and rural areas. This approach reduces the distribution and packaging challenges small farmers face due to rising costs and taxes. By combining these diverse programs, it fosters connections among urban residents, rural communities, and students, allowing them to learn about and engage with local farmers and their produce.

IN SUBMISSION FOR PREMIO FELIX CANDELA III: CASA AGAVE DESIGN COMPETITION

COLLABORATION W / ZEKE NELSOM

The project design draws inspiration from greenhouses, utilizing natural sunlight and incorporating transparency in the architectural layout. The buildings follow the contours of the agave field, harmonizing with the surrounding vegetation. Elevated above the ground, the structures respect existing pathways, minimizing disruption and preserving the land's integrity. Comprising five distinct buildings, each responds sensitively to the varying slopes of the nearby volcano, offering visitors a curated journey. From gathering and drying to stripping and shaping textiles, guests gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire process. The final two buildings allow visitors to purchase on-site produced clothing while enjoying breathtaking views of the fields and volcano. Ultimately, our aim is to create a captivating experience for tourists visiting Tequila while addressing the basic needs of impoverished populations across Mexico
