JOSEPH I IBANGA
Hello, I am a third year student studying at Morgan state universiy, Baltimore, MD.
Architecture has been my way of expressing my thoughts and Ideas into spaces for the benefit of people. Moreover it has challenged my understanding of society and inspired me to think about how I can create diverse design solutions for the built environment.
I look forward to gain experience within the architecture industry, learn new skills and build professional connections.

KJ HOMES
Project Type: 3rd Year Studio Project
Professor: Dale Green, Howard Mack
College: Morgan State University
Year: 2022
This project explores innovative solutions for low-density urban housing using hybrids of the two common urban housing types – the Rowhouse and the Lowrise Apartment. Working in groups of two students, we investigated the spatial possibilities within a 36,800 Sq ft site. We proposed a hybrid housing type that combines features of both using the following criteria who’s the targeted demographic, what’s the density and diversity of units, community spaces, and open spaces.

GROUND FLOOR PLAN
Our rowhouse target start-up families in their twenties and thirties as well. Each rowhouse is built the same with its own parking space. Moreover, these units are like our apartments with an open floor plan, outdoor balcony spaces, garden beds, and views of the environment. This unit would be suitable for families that would love more space in extra stories.

APARTMENT
Our lowrise apartments targeted start-up families in their twenties and thirties. So we created a diversity of unit types with two-bedroom apartments between 813 to 1126Sqft, and three-bedroom apartments between 1474 to 1723 sqft. These units floor an open floor plan scheme for maximizing access to light. In addition, we provided community open spaces on our roof with pergolas, gardens, & shared pools with views of the environment.

KJ homes take pride in creating intimate and memorable spaces for its residents. A user’s experience could be relaxing on a balcony, watering plants in the garden, or watching the calming waterfront. It encourages pedestrian life on its sidewalks with retail spaces.
This development is driven by how a person feels and what they can see from each location on the lot. In summary, KJ Home is view-oriented that takes elements like open space, ribbon windows, and curtain walls to make KJ homes a special place to start and raise a family.

KAFFIGOS
ICELAND, Hverfjall
Project Type: Competition Team Project
Advisor: Shorieh Talaat
College: Montgomery College
Awards: AIA Maryland Student Excellence In Design
Year: 2022
The Kaffigos Coffee Shop was a team based design project inspired by the surrounding environment, especially the Hverfjall Volvano. The development of the parti idea was intended to reflect the ascending form of the volcano and the surrounding context. The amphitheatre like shape allows every space, interior or exterior, to take advantage of the majestic views of the icelandic landscape, while allowing the optimal amount of light to enter each space. As a sustainable approach we implemented the use of local and recycled materials, geothermal energy and pre-fabricated structural elements for efficient transportation and erection.
