Meet the Designer Hello! I am Katherine, an enthusiastic and dedicated architecture student with a minor in sustainable design.

With a focus on thoughtful design and attention to detail I strive to craft environments that enhace the lives of those who use them. Committed to continuous learning and collaboration, I approach each project with care, ensuring that every design meets both aesthetic and practical needs. Thank you for taking the time to review my collected works as I hope they bring inspiration to you.

“I don’t think that architecture is only about shelter...it should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think” - Zaha Hadid

Florence, Italy 5th semester

La Dolce Terra Located in Florence, a vacant apartment building in Piazza Torquato Tasso within a quiet neighborhood, the La Dolce Terra is an attempt to cultivate a flourishing artisan community and boost housing opportunities for traveling ceramicists. Housing a craft center and pottery studio by redeveloping the florentine architecture standing where creativity takes flight. The adjacent palazzo provides a vibrant communal hub drawing visitors to the gallery and learning facilities, enriching the lives of residents of the community. Complementing this, a courtyard at the back of the studio not only gives space back to the community but transforms into a outdoor learning center to further foster intellectual growth on pottery making and economic opportunity.

Highline, NYC 3rd semester

NYC Artisan This pottery studio, located along the High Line, integrates the art of ceramics with the urban landscape.

Large Curved windows, inspired by the organic forms of pottery, evoke the fluidity and abstraction of the ceramic making process. A spacious terrace extends the studio into the surrounding city space, offering both views and potential for outdoor pottery making. Connecting the small studio to the great city that surrounds it.

High Line beneath the Chelsea Market overhang

For this group project, we designed a 6-foot model inspired by our weekend visit to the NYC High Line. Through a combination of site analysis, diagramming, and creative imagination, we explored the unique urban environment and its relationship with nature. The model captures the essence of the High Line’s elevated park, incorporating green spaces, pathways, and surrounding architecture.

Through collaborative effort and cafeful craftsmanship, we created a visually striking model that reflects the dynamic interplay between urbanism and nature in this iconic space.
