Twin Home is a mirrored duplex designed to balance symmetry and individuality within a single architectural form. Split along a central axis into left and right units, the design emphasizes a clean, contemporary aesthetic with a unified identity. The front facade features four sculptural, angled shadow boxes that frame the windows, creating depth and dynamic light play throughout the day. Louvers at each entry provide privacy and passive cooling, while the rear of each unit opens onto a private terrace and landscaped backyard—supporting a seamless indooroutdoor lifestyle essential to Miami living. This project explores duality through mirrored geometry, material rhythm, and functional elegance.

This project sits right off the mouth of the Rio de Besos in Barcelona, Spain. A community center that engages the residents of Spain with a coastal building and utilizes materials that are traditional but modernized. The building itself creates masses of open space and program using the column grid. The masses are pronounced with material changes or lack thereof.

Flex brick is a relatively new material to architecture. It is essentially a screen wall made of thin brick tiles attached with a metal chain. The thinness of the tile facilitates the curving of the wall.
Prolifit Channel Glass is a more common material that uses U-shaped glass pieces interlocked to create a thick opaque glass wall.

The S.T.E.P. proposal for the annual NOMAS competition seeks to reconnect Nashville’s fractured community, torn apart by the I-40. The highway turned a vibrant music district into a forgotten space, leaving behind a predominantly Black neighborhood grappling with neglect, gentrification, and decay. Nestled beneath Jefferson Street, the heart of Nashville’s music scene, our design draws inspiration from the once-thriving culture. We envisioned a space where all residents could gather—whether for work, leisure, or refuge—creating a true “third place.” Central to this vision is a pedestrian bridge that spans the highway, reconnecting the divided sites. The bridge symbolizes our hope for the future, uniting streets that were once meant to connect.

The recent furniture and landscape renovation at The Ritz-Carlton, Miami Beach redefines luxury through a contemporary coastal lens. The project enhances the property’s iconic waterfront setting with curated outdoor furnishings, lush tropical plantings, and refined material palettes that echo Miami’s natural beauty. Seamlessly blending comfort and sophistication, the refreshed spaces invite guests to relax and connect, reinforcing the condominium’s identity as a serene yet vibrant urban resort.
Collaborated with the landscape design team at The Ritz-Carlton, Miami Beach on the rooftop restaurant renovation, focusing on plant selection, spatial integration, and environmental performance. The scope included identifying species well-suited to Miami’s heat and seasonal rainfall, as well as coordinating drainage solutions and appropriate container sizing to ensure longterm viability. This work was carried out in tandem with the proposed new furniture layout, achieving a cohesive and functional outdoor dining experience that aligns with the property’s luxury standards.

Nestled in the vibrant pulse of Miami, this ADU proposal blends modern simplicity with natural warmth, offering a serene escape within the city’s embrace. A façade of vertical wood planks whispers of nature’s beauty, contrasting with the cool sheen of metal—two materials in harmonious conversation. The heart of the home is found within its compact, yet thoughtful arrangement: two bedrooms, two baths, and an open kitchen and dining space at its core, where light and air flow freely, creating a sense of openness in a modest frame. Here, in this compact retreat, the rhythms of city life and the tranquility of home find their perfect balance. This ADU is more than a residence; it is a sanctuary of light, wood, and metal—a modern refuge designed to embrace Miami’s warm, tropical spirit with effortless grace.
