Mt Wilson Scientist Retreat

Intergration into site by means of geometry and materials

A live/work space for two observatory scientist up in the San Gabriel mountains

The space was dictated by the site which was a lot longer than it was wide. These dimensions called for a plan which was rectangular and a circulation that was linear.

Both the geometry and material choices were a nod to the mountain range and the forest that sorround the site. The plan was seperated into areas that were Private, Shared, and Public.

In section the distugishing of space is more clear, crowned by a top story observatory for star gazing.

CPP SCHOOL OF ARCHITCTURE

An antithesis to a historical landmark.

The inner workings of this new monument are on full display through a perforated metal envelope, a fully glazed northern facade, and aperatures placed strategically on both plinth and tower. These aperatures are moments within the architecture where the public is invited to look into the school, the exhibition on an architecture school at work.

LITTLE TOKYO MUSEUM

A connection of space and community

The site is cut diagonally to make way for a generous walkway that connects 1st street to the back of the site which, in turn, connects to the heart of Little Tokyo. The walkway is ﬂanked on both sides by public spaces, giving the ground back to the community. This upwards extrusiuon splits the museum in two and calls for the coonection of these two buildings via bridges spannings from one side to the other.
