THE NIMBUS

Location: Portland, Or

Year : Winter/Spring 2024

Type: Commercial (CTE School)

Professor: Dr. Siobhan Rockcastle

In Terminal Studio, we were assigned to design a CTE (Career and Technical Education) school for David Douglas High School in Portland, Oregon. These elements create an environment that encourages both collaboration and individual exploration connecting with my concept, cloudy skies. The double-height spaces foster a sense of grandeur and connection, allowing light to penetrate deep into the building, while large windows and glass walls offer views of the surrounding landscape. This transparency promotes a sense of community and engagement among students and staff. The design aims to create a dynamic and inspiring educational environment that reflects the unique character of Portland and supports the diverse needs of its students.

Type: Commercial (Bike Hub)

Professor: Tom Hahn

The bike hub cycling center project transforms an empty lot into a vibrant space celebrating urban cycling culture. The hub obtains multiple sustainable tree rainwater harvesting sculptures that fosters connectivity by encouraging interaction among visitors. The hub’s architecture emphasizes sustainability, with timber wood materials creating a warm, eco-friendly atmosphere. The design integrates open, inviting spaces that promote community engagement, making the hub a dynamic focal point for cyclists. The design embodies the three themes of celebration, connectivity, and sustainability, creating a lasting, positive impact on the neighborhood.

VINTAGE VILLA

Location: Dundee Hills, OR

Year : Winter 2023

Type: Commercial (Winery)

Professor: Stephen Duff

The primary goal for this winery is to produce high-quality wines that are distinctive, delicious, and that appeal to consumers. This involves a combination of factors such as selecting the right grape varieties, using proper viticultural techniques. The project will draw on the rich typology of wineries with production facilities, tasting rooms, and hospitality spaces. The site, called Westwind, is in the Dundee Hills of Oregon Wine Country, southwest of Portland. The buildings must engage the landform and each other to make a series of work and visitor spaces, inside and out. My concepts leading towards designing the Winery is to create transparent spaces that is comfortable and allows guests and manufacoring employees to view other areas that obtain double-height spaces that shows the development of how wine is created with the Wine-Flow progress.

Year : Fall 2022

Type: Commercial (Architecture School)

Professor: Erin Moore & Iryna Volynets

The renovation of the architecture school in Lviv, Ukraine, embodies a vision of community integration and spatial harmony. The school’s layout is carefully divided into distinct zones: private spaces reserved exclusively for students, public areas where the community can engage with the academic environment, and a courtyard that serves as a transitional space. The project aims to create a vibrant educational hub that not only nurtures future architects but also strengthens the bond between the school and the surrounding community, reflecting a commitment to openness and shared spaces.

PAISAJE DE SANACION DE REFUGIO RAPIDO

Location: Coos Bay, Or

Year : Spring 2023

Type: Residental (Emergency Tensile Shelters)

Professor: Earl Mark

Over the past few decades, Mexico has experienced a surge in violence and insecurity due to the rise of cartels and narcotics tracking. this has resulted in a mass exodus of Mexican citizens who are seeking safety and better opportunities elsewhere. As a result, many citizens have felt forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in other countries, particularly the United States. My intentions is to create a warm-welcoming environment towards the families and individuals leaving Mexico who suffered through the tragedies with a great viewing of the site in ‘Shore Acres State Park’ including designs from their culture with outdoor activities in the area.
