CHURCH OF ST. JOHN
Advanced Architectural Studio - Fall 2023
Rhino 6, Photoshop, Illustrator, Enscape
In collaboration with Anjali Dawani
The Church of St.John draws its inspiration from The Heavenly City as described in the Book of Revelation, manifesting as a sacred testament to divine geometry and symbolic illumination. Situated in the Distillery District, it serves as a design for the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). The architectural concept embodies the cube-shaped New Jerusalem, written to be crafted from pure gold and embellished with precious stones, spires, and stained glass. Within the church, immersive sensory experiences guide worshippers on a symbolic journey through The Heavenly City and toward spiritual ascent.

THERMAE AQUATIC CENTRE
Integration Studio ll - Winter 2022
Rhino 6, Photoshop, Illustrator, Vray
The design for the Thermae Aquatic Centre aims to create connections with public space while maintaining the historical essence of Roman baths. The four primary zones of organization (public + fitness, changing, spa, and aquatics) in the design are inspired by the Roman bathing sequence. The programmatic spaces are unified by various arches and are complemented by open spaces, which are integrated into the design, providing natural light and a connection to nature.
The civic garden of the aquatic centre is inspired by the Baths of Caracalla, aiming to further connect guests to the history of bathing, while offering a public space for activies.

Óvænt Grotto
Buildner Competition - Winter 2022
Rhino 6, Photoshop, Illustrator, Enscape
In collaboration with Anjali Dawani
Óvænt Grotto is a movie pavilion that is nestled within the dramatic landscapes of Reykjavík, designed to celebrate Icelandic cinema. Its architecture offers a stark contrast, immersing visitors in an environment that highlights both the cinematic beauty and the diverse natural scenery of Iceland. Positioned at the southern edge of the cavernous site, the pavilion encourages a prolonged approach, with its dark, heavy concrete exterior evoking the coolness of Icelandic terrain, while the curved wooden entry provides a revealing glimpse into the pavilion’s interior and signifies the entrance. Once inside, the unexpected curvature of the walls mimic the surrounding natural environment, connecting visitors to the landscape while offering them the opportunity to appreciate the art of cinema.

Plan
The curved walls were specifically designed to mimic the natural astmosphere of caves located adjacent to the site. The unexpected curving of the walls also aim to immerse visitors into the space, similarily to what one would experiece when entering a cave.
THE SRI LANKAN DWELLING
Advanced Architecture Studio - Winter 2024
Rhino 6, Photoshop, Illustrator, Vray
The Sri Lankan Dwelling is inspired by the traditional shelters of the island. With a focus on utilizing natural materials such as wood, this design aims to combine traditional vernacular concepts with modern technology to create a shelter that is both efficient and respectful. By using all natural materials, the design provides a great connection to the natural environment, an idea that has been prevalent in Sri Lankan architecture over centuries.
The Traditional Shelter
One of the earliest forms of shelter in Sri Lanka were Ambalamas, which often reflected local architectural styles and environmental considerations. By being raised above ground, these shelters were protected from flooding and pests. The open, airy structure allowed for ventilation, which is crucial for the tropical climate.
Traditional Concepts
1 - Naturally cooling roof
2 - Cross ventilation
3 - Veranda for sun shading
4 - Shutters
5 - Raised floor for flood protection
