The goal of this project consists of redraw a house in CAD . The challenge was to be really careful figuring out the measurements and proportions of the house avoiding distortion of the final product. This is the façade of a historic building named Atlantic Terrace House located in 20 Jackson St, Cape May, NJ.
The challenge of this project was to create a hut for a poet who writes haiku. The design consistszz of two rooms and an entry space. Using form, space, light and different materials I had to develop a hut that provides different experiences for the poet. The program consists of the entry that works as a transition space from the outside to the inside, a room where the poet writes kneeling or sitting on the floor and a meditation/ / T’ai Chi room. My design concept was based on incorporating the golden ration into all the measurements and multiple ways of get natural light into the project.
The challenge of this project consists of CAD draw in which I will show a building present between the historical periods worked on in class. In this case I chose a theater located in Indianapolis which presents a Spanish baroque revival architectural style which caught my attention and which was quite a challenge to draw and decipher. The building was traced in AutoCAD and painted in Photoshop from scanned plans dated back from 1926 that I found on the internet.

The challenge of this project was to create a Revit model using an old Sears kit house advertisement and through the analysis of the floor plan and its description, I had to design a decent model with the correct proportions and give it a modern touch.
The challenge of this project was to design a literary pavilion located in Old City Philadelphia at the corner of Second Street and Market Street. My design statement was to create a connection between Christ Church and the city through an urban integration using public space. I mainly seek to direct the pedestrian by creating an urban window generating an urban axis integrating a historical building with one of the most popular streets in Philadelphia, Market Street.
The building itself consists of two main spaces which are connected through a glass entrance which works as an urban window towards Christ Church. Due to this, two parks with their own distinctive characteristics are created. The first one, which is located in Market St., is the largest, open and busiest park. It directs the passerby towards the pavilion and provides a wide view of the façade. The second one is on the back facing Christ Church. This one presents a more intimate and quiet character with more places to sit and a lot of shade provided by the trees. Due to this, it serves as a transition space between the church and the pavilion, connecting the project.

The challenge of this project was to design a house built on top of a mineral stone that is supposed to be located in a coast in Nova Scotia and, in my case, I chose the moss agate stone from a list of various stones. First, a stone exploration was carried out to understand the land on which the house was built and its relationship with the sea. Finally, I analyzed the types of materials that would go well with the color and texture of the mineral stone in order to create a house design.
My approach to this design was through a staggered sequence of squares trying to make the most of the natural light of the sun, adapting the roof and the shape of the house to the terrain. My colors and materials selection was based on generating rooms with a lot of natural light, creating cozy spaces that provide peace and tranquility.
