The Albany Park Community Center, located at the heart of Albany Park, Chicago, is a testament to the city's musical heritage and an architectural turning point in my academic career. Its distinctive design, blending curvilinear forms into a rectangular structure, reflects the harmonious fusion of tradition and innovation. These elegant curves not only symbolize the ever-evolving nature of music but also shape versatile interior spaces. The top-floor recording studio, enclosed within this design, provides a space for local musicians to create. Beyond its aesthetics, the center fosters community engagement, bridging diverse backgrounds, much like music does. As the Albany Park Community Center continues to inspire and shape the neighborhood, it showcases the transformative power of architecture as a canvas for creativity and a reflection of the communities it serves.

This dual facade design based in the city of Barcelona exemplifies architectural innovation. Developed in a workshop guided by architects Jaime Prous and Pablo Garrico, this project creatively combines form and function through shading devices, adapting to the sun’s path. On the southern facade, rotating wooden panels perform a dual role, allowing natural light to create a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow and offer optional privacy. On the western facade, static panels correspond with the shifting angles of the afternoon sun, diffusing light and casting patterns throughout the space. This project underscores the power of light and shadow in architecture, enriching spaces with both beauty and functionality.

Nestled in the picturesque Sants neighborhood of Barcelona, the Sants Theatro project is a shining example of the transformative power of adaptive reuse. This project breathes new life into a oncethriving textile factory from the 1930s and ‘20s. The theatre design pays homage to the factory’s rich history by carefully conserving its iconic brick structure while seamlessly integrating a contemporary steel framework. This revitalized design houses a small community theatre, classrooms, and offices, and its ground floor fosters a dynamic connection to the adjacent park, complete with a charming outdoor theatre. This project holds a special place in my heart as my first group endeavor, and I have never been prouder of an achievement.

The Poblenou Living & Working Apartments in Barcelona’s dynamic Poblenou neighborhood are a groundbreaking design that seamlessly blends urban living and versatile workspaces. This project features regular apartments, senior living units, and the innovative work+living structures, all sharing a design DNA that emphasizes alternating terrace setbacks and outdoor corridors surrounding an outdoor courtyard. The work+living units, strategically positioned along Carrer de la Jonquera, take center stage, offering adaptable workspaces for modern needs. With CLT construction, the ground floor houses a convenience store and communal offices, while the floors above feature flexible work modules intertwined with living spaces. Each work unit includes powder rooms, terraces, and flexible sliding doors, catering to various workspace configurations. This project not only enhances urban living but redefinines the city’s urban landscape.

THIS PROJECT IS WITHIN A LARGER COMPLEX, INCLUDING THREE TYPES OF LIVING. IN COLLABORATION WITH SCARLETT AND ANNAMARIE, WE EACH DESIGNED A DIFFERENT TYPE, WITH A COMMON DNA OF ALTERNATING SETBACKS AND CONNECTIONS TO AN OUTDOOR CORRIDOR.
SENIOR WORK+LIVING
RESIDENCE SHARED CORRIDOR
THE WORK + LIVING APARTMENTS UTILIZE THE COMMON DESIGN PRINCIPAL IN AN ALTERNATE WAY, CREATING SETBACKS THAT CORRESPOND WITH THE USES OF A WORKSPACE AND INTEGRATING IT WITH THE FLOW OF DAY TO DAY LIVING
THE WORKSPACE MODULES INCLUDE THE OPTION OF PLACING PARTITON WALLS TO ALLOW SQUARE FOOTAGE FLEXIBILITY
