This toile design calls attention to the environmental issue of deforestation by juxtaposing hand-drawn images of nature with the ways in which man destroys it. The tiger is an image of pristine nature as it is considered a beautiful yet powerful predator. Even so, the tiger is no match for the man-made construction machines that threaten to destroy its habitat.

Brownfield Retreat is designed to be a relaxing getaway closely connected to the outdoors. It is situated on a brownfield site in Austin, TX, overlooking the Colorado River. The design combines the manmade materials of concrete, steel, and glass, which are commonly dumped on brownfield sites, with more natural materials such as wood and natural rock.
The private spaces of the bathroom and bedrooms are conditioned for privacy while the rest of the spaces are unconditioned to facilitate a stronger relationship between the interior and exterior. In addition, the retreat is populated with an array of rainforest flora to further integrate the spaces with nature. The retreat is topped with a tinted glass roof that protects from rain and intense sunlight without obstructing views of the sky.

This hotel and lounge, located in Beacon Hill, is designed to reflect the feeling of traditional Boston with a modern twist. The first floor serves as a cocktail lounge with the three floors above housing the hotel guest rooms. The design draws inspiration from the wellknown Boston Public Garden, located just down the street. The name is derived from the garden's beautiful swans and the popular Swan Boat tourist attraction.
In addition to Boston's natural beauty, the city holds a rich history of academia, which also greatly inspired the design. Although the hotel and lounge contain many nods to tradition through its materiality and color palette, it strikes a balance between the traditional and modern with the implementation of organic and streamlined forms, clean lines, and contemporary lighting.
