ABOUT ME

My passion for architecture and planning began when I traveled across Europe and saw the di erent planning and design strategies that prioritized people. With my background in Urban Studies and Architecture I understand that the planning and architecture design process starts with people, then places and buildings. I have a strong passion for urban environments, speci cally how the built environment impacts people’s lifestyles. I tend to see developments and open spaces not for what they are, but for what they could be. Throughout my career, I plan to combine sustainable design principles by developing resilient communities that increase social capital and overall quality of life for everyone.

Located on decommissioned Platform Holly, an oil Rig off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. Inspired by the formations of seashells and barnacles’ natural growth, Platform X is a proposed biological marine research center for the adap-tive reuse project. The immersive research center offers wet and dry laboratories, micro-living units for the researchers, a large atrium/gallery space for visitors to admire, and much more.

PLATFORM X

Year : 2021

Software: Rhino 3D, AutoCad, Lumion, Photoshop

LOCATION:

SANTA BARBARA, CA

The abandoned oil rigs are now property of the state of California after the owner filed for bankruptcy. The drilling has ended and the wells will now be sealed at a cost of $350 million expected to be finished in 2022. The idea for the adaptive resuse project is that it is extremely expensive to seal the wells and that the natural habitat has already adapted to the presense of the oil rigs. The new proposal can turn the abandoned "Ghost Ships" into an actraction for visitors to enjoy.

Cross Section Through the Neighborhood

The design of the neighborhood combines density and public space at a human scale to provide enough services and human interaction. Contrary to popular belief, most people shun wide-open spaces. We may occasionally enjoy hiking open fields, visiting the beach, or viewing an expansive landscape from a car, but the outdoor spaces we choose to inhabit in a civic context have a high degree of definition of enclosure.

"Eyes on the Street"

With ground floor retail spaces, the greater number of people using and observing a space, and the more diverse they are in their interests, the safer the space will tend to be.

"Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody."
-Jane Jacobs

FOLSOM CA, RIVER REVITALIZATION

"Rivers care places that renew our spirit, connect us with our past, and link us directly with the flow and rhythm of the natural world."

-Ted Turner

The cFolsom River District Revitalization is a masterplan to reconnect people to the Folsom river by increasing public spaces through economic development and recreation opportunities. Some objectives include providing city gateway enhancements, commit to high quality design,and enhance Folsom's heritage. RRM Design executed a feasibilty study of an opportunity site to design a a boutique hotel with a plaza and retail opportunities along Traders Lane.

Remembering the Past

Joseph Libbey Folsom purchased Rancho Rio de los Americanos from the heirs of San Francisco merchant William Alexander Leidesdorff, and laid out the town called Granite City, mostly occupied by gold miners seeking their fortune in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The architectural design had the goal to create a building that will blend with existing urban fabric and rooted in Folsom's rich history. The use of brick, and stucco provide an industrial/historical feel to the community while also bringing new life to the community. Site Cross Section
