THE STATION l Coalport Trenton, NJ
The Station is a project made for the town of Coalport located in Trenton, NJ. The intention of this project after visitng this town and seeing that it is a “ghost” town it was valuable for me and my teamate to understand what this community needs. We decided to do sort of a recreational center/ job recreation with markets which was the main source of income we saw in the town. The decision to create paths for orientation and different zones or stations like we decided to call it was to create that sense of wonder and give back a little what this community desperately needs.

THE SLOW SERENE REST STOP l Milltown, NJ
The Slow Serene rest stop located in Milltown NJ is a completely different experience on how rest stops are not only designed but also the behind inetention of the design into the whole environment of the building. This three story building creates the ilusion that is ont big level because of the panel roof on top. Therefore, it is much more than that. The projection of the building is emphazided on the community of Milltown but also the people coming from the NJ Turnpike.

EX-FILANDA HOUSING PROPOSAL l Rome, Italy
The Ex-Filanda house proposal conveys historical elements of Rome into the projection and analysis into the design of the project itself. Itʼs importance is in the remembrance of the idenity of Rome. Certain characteristics of the building creates its cohesive and structural aspect of the building. The relationship between the different shapes of the building are directioned intentionally to pronuntiate important historical architecture of their surroundings. This specific proposal could be used as a prototype that could be repetitive into the city of Rome.
