01 Growing Connections
Fire Station & Community Center
Collaborators - Zamia Zannat, Khadija Ali
This project is an infill project in New York City that combines a fire station with a community greenhouse, fostering healing interactions between firefighters and the public in contrast to their usual encounters during crises.
02 Whale Poise
Balandra Beach Ecological Center
This project is an ecological center in Balandra Beach in Baja Mexico, designed to welcome visitors and educate them on the region’s rich biodiversity. The architecture draws inspiration from the cyclical migration of birthing sperm whales, evoking the fluid motion of mother and calf through the sea.

Le Costil
Construction Technology Research
Collaborators - Mehrab Chowdhury, Rondela Spooner, Naama Davidovics
This research project analyzed the construction methods of the Le Costil Residence in France. We recreated a scaled sectional model (1½” = 1’) simulating the building’s assembly sequence.

Layered Ascent
Artist Live-Work Residence
Collaborators - Etty Jajati
This live-work infill project in Harlem centers on visual connectivity, enabling artists to curate views into their creative process. The design uses layered transparency and spatial sequencing to guide visitors upward to a rooftop gallery.

05 The Mediating Frame
