Children’s Health Center
Softwares Used:
Revit, Enscape, Adobe Illustrator
This was a group project and we had nine weeks to complete it. The shell of the building was provided and we created the floor plan for all three levels. The main focus for the design was to incorporate nature and create an inviting environment for the users of the space.
01 PEDIATRIC CLINIC
Wayfinding was used on the exam room doors to differentiate the rooms and the reception desk changes colors to correspond with each level, creating a landmark for visitors.
Using DIRTT wall systems and casework in the exam rooms aided in sustainability and practicality throughout the project.
Wood slats create visual interest.
02 STADIUM SKYBOX DESIGN
Softwares Used:
Revit, Enscape, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator
Furniture Plan Level 1
This project is the 2024 Barbour Spangle Interior Design Competition hosted by the Bienenstock Furniture Library. The competition provided the empty floor plans and criteria to follow. The design of the space was based off of the music genre chosen by the designer, allowing creativity in the overall design.
02 STADIUM SKYBOX DESIGN
FLOORING
UPHOLSTERY
WALL FINISH
The inspiration for the design was based on jazz fusion, a blend of electric instruments with aspects of traditional jazz. The design of the skybox uses modern elements and rich colors to create the combination of contemporary and traditional design.
Furniture Plan Level 2
Japan Karate Do Genbu-Kai Studio
Softwares Used: Revit, Enscape
This karate studio remodel was for a local client looking to update their space. This project was completed with a partner where we chose materials and elements that kept the traditional dojo design and Japanese culture. Picking a design and furniture that were affordable was an important aspect of the project as well.

04 SHIPPING CONTAINER HOME
MATERIALS
Level 1 Furniture Plan
The client wanted a modern house built out of shipping containers. The biggest priorities for this house was sustainable materials and finishes as well as practicality for a family home. Earthy colors and natural materials create a relaxing atmosphere that balances well with modern elements. This design consists of 7 containers on the first level and 5 containers on the second level. The home features a 3 car garage, workout room, laundry, back patio, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, office, and large second level porch.
Level 2 Furniture Plan
MATERIALS
Super Lofts
Softwares Used:
Revit, Enscape
This downtown warehouse space is transformed into modern studio lofts. The space is equipped with 20’-0” ceilings which allowed for a second level loft area, creating the perfect bedroom space. The units have the same first floor plan but have a different second floor plan. This project was completed as a group project.
MATERIALS
1 Furniture Plan
Level 2 Furniture Plan
Both spaces have an industrial modern design to appeal to the clients target market. Exposed brick, polished concrete, and wall plaster are a few of the materials used.
MATERIALS
NEXT Student Design Competition
Softwares Used:
Revit, Sketchup, Adobe Illustrator, Enscape
This project is the NEXT Student Design Competition sponsored by Steelcase. Steelcase provided the empty floor plan and the criteria to follow when designing the space. There were a few client wishes for the office design: hybrid working conditions, flexibility, and sustainability.
Logo
Blue was chosen to reflect the nearby harbor and the Boston state flag. It also aids in creativity. Green was chosen to bring in nature and is said to be a calming color.
Yellow was chosen to bring in the surrounding area. The local Boston Bruins and the state flag both are yellow.
MEETING FACILITY
Meeting & Marketing Facility
Softwares Used:
The original floor plan was provided and drawn to scale in Revit. Worked through the preliminary process of space planning and did all aspects of the Schematic Design process which led into drafting the plan in Revit. After laying out the walls, the furniture and reflected ceiling plan was produced. A furniture specification and concept board was also completed for this project.
