Miami eco-hub

Location: Miami, FL

Primary Software: Revit

About: Design a mixed use eco-hub complete with exhibition spaces, a restaurant, offices and more.

Concept

The design concept for this building is a synthesis of resilience and sustainability, addressing the dual challenges of flooding and environmental comfort. With an emphasis on adaptability, the structure is envisioned to seamlessly integrate flood-resistant features while maximizing natural ventilation and light. Elevated foundations, flood-resistant materials, and green infrastructure safeguard against rising waters, while strategically positioned openings and intelligent facade design optimize airflow and sunlight penetration. The result is a harmonious blend of innovative flood resilience and occupant well-being, where the building not only withstands environmental pressures but actively leverages them to create a healthier and more sustainable living space.

Covering

Location: Shark Valley, Florida

Primary Software: Rhino Rendering Software: Rhino Integrated Rendering & Lumion

About: Design a covering for the ramp leading to the Shark Valley Observation Tower.

Concept

The serpentine pattern of the mangrove trees’ roots protect the land it borders and the marine animals. They essentially create an ecosystem for smaller marine animals. To create a similar protected feeling, the same serpentine pattern was utilized.

Grasshopper Script Used

Screening

To help combat the Miami heat, a screen that resembles the growth of mangrove roots is constructed to promote a breeze while also blocking the sun.

Using Grasshopper, I am able to control the thickness, height, width, etc. with the input of just 3 curves.

FlowSpace: Where Art Moves with You

Location: New York, New York

Primary Software: Revit

Rendering software: Revit

About: A 107,000 sq. ft. visual and performing arts center along the High Line.

Concept

Inspired by the organic flow and community-centric ethos of New York’s High Line, our design for the visual and performing arts center celebrates circulation as a defining feature. Much like the elevated park repurposed from an old railway line, our space reimagines circulation not just as a means of traversal but as a captivating journey in itself. Drawing parallels to the High Line’s ability to seamlessly blend nature with urbanity, our design integrates fluid pathways and open spaces, inviting visitors to meander through a dynamic landscape of creativity and expression. Just as the High Line revitalized its surrounding neighborhood, our arts center fosters a vibrant cultural hub where the convergence of circulation and artistic exploration sparks inspiration, connection, and a renewed sense of community.

Concept

Located in Atlanta, Georgia, this project is a multi-use complete with an urban market, child care facility, community center and extensive library. The library includes media centers, computer labs, study rooms, and reading rooms. The facade is made of concrete to help deflect heat during hot months and screens incoming sunlight. The terraces feature crops that are then sold at the urban market. The form of the project draws from the height of the surrounding buildings as well as those throughout Atlanta.
