01 College Project Utilizing Revit Work Experience Projects Utilizing AutoCad
Silver Lake Housing Project
3rd Year Spring Studio
Location: 1650 Silver Lake Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026
Type: Mixed-Use Housing and Commercial Programs used: Revit, Rhino, Lumion, Photoshop, and Illustrator
The Silver Lake Housing Project was part of the 3rd year spring semester curriculum in parallel with our construction course. We were encourage to use Revit to create construction documents and understand the workflow of a BIM software. I started with drawing plans of our own home and several case studies to understand the typology of Mixed-Use projects. The goal was to create a housing project on a concrete podium with a minimum of 10 units, ground floor commercial space, and underground parking. I designed units that 6 face the street of Silver Lake with colorful balconies and 5 face the neighborhood. Theres an amenities deck in between these units and 4 commercial spaces on the ground floor. The architecture follows a private and living space rhythm as the white towers house the bedrooms and the balconies connect to the living space. When creating the documentation for this project was a great educational experience because I had never used revit before. Taking the time to really understand what each documentation page take to produce really gave me a workflow perspective in architecture

Overlook Hotel 04
Done on my free time
Location: Based on the movie “The Shinning”
Type: Hotel
Programs used: Rhino and Lumion
I enjoy “The Shining” for many reasons, including its masterful storytelling and gripping psychological horror. However, what truly stands out to me is the set design and the movie’s location. The Overlook Hotel, as portrayed in Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation, is almost a character in itself. Its sprawling, labyrinthine hallways, opulent yet eerie rooms, and the iconic hedge maze create a sense of isolation and foreboding that enhances the story’s tension. The attention to detail in the set design is remarkable. The color schemes, particularly the use of reds and browns, evoke a feeling of unease and impending doom. The hotel’s interiors, with their unnervingly symmetrical layouts and unsettlingly patterned carpets, contribute to the surreal and haunting atmosphere. The careful crafting of these spaces makes every corner of the Overlook feel menacing and alive, amplifying the horror elements of the film. The choice of filming locations also adds to the movie’s chilling effect. While the exteriors of the Overlook Hotel were shot at Timberline Lodge in Oregon, the interior sets were meticulously constructed at Elstree Studios in England. The juxtaposition of the real and the artificial creates an uncanny realism that draws viewers deeper into the story. The isolation of the snowy, mountainous location heightens the sense of entrapment and madness that envelops the Torrance family.
