With the rise in demand for quality education and an increasing number of students, the school aims to expand to a larger facility. This expansion will support the continuation of high-quality education and provide spaces for extracurricular activities. The new building design encompasses a total of 64,000 square feet spread over four levels.
The structure of the building combines reinforced cement concrete (RCC) and steel framing, with a steel truss roof. Various sustainable approaches have been implemented to suit the rural location and climate of the school. These include strategic orientation, shaded windows on the south side, and large open windows on the north side. The roof features a custom rainwater gutter system designed for rainwater harvesting.

About the project
The East Boston Neighborhood Health Center is a prominent healthcare service provider in Boston. I’ve had the privilege of contributing to their Phlebotomy department planning and documentation. Throughout the development of the drawings, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of doctors and consultants. Given that this is my first project in the field of healthcare architecture and in Boston, I encountered several challenges as I navigated the learning curve.

Year : 2024
Location: Hyde Park, Boston, Massachusetts
Project Cost: $ 650,000
Project Status: Permit Process
Project Owner: Ricardo Bryant Harryson Development LLC
Designers: Bruno Andrade, Prabesh Ranjitkar
Job Description: Design and planning, Construction Documents and 3D views
Software Used: AutoCAD, Revit, Lumion, Bluebeam
This project involved a comprehensive interior fitout transformation of a multi-family home located in the Hyde Park area. The property, over 100 years old, was in a deteriorated state, prompting the client’s desire to renovate the interior while preserving the historic exterior character to facilitate a property flip.
The four-story structure, comprising a semi-basement, first, second, and attic floors, was reimagined to meet the client’s vision of combining two floors into one unit, achieving a 4-bedroom, hall, and kitchen (BHK) layout in each unit. The design embraces a modern, open-concept plan, featuring expansive living, kitchen, and dining spaces that benefit from ample natural light streaming through large, thoughtfully positioned openings. Although the exterior architecture remains true to its original form, all outdated building materials and window openings were carefully demolished and reinstalled to preserve the building’s envelope and mitigate energy loss, ensuring both aesthetic continuity and enhanced efficiency.

While designing this strategically spatial design for the commercial project, the flow of users has been segregated between the public and semi-public areas ensuring tenant privacy alongside blending modern aesthetics with functionality to foster an inviting and productive workspace.
The inclusion of striking architectural elements, like floor-to-ceiling windows, floods the space with natural light, fostering a strong sense of openness and connectivity. Transparent glass is employed in the commercial area for product showcasing, while tinted glass in the office spaces maintains privacy. This project reflects a commitment to creating dynamic, harmonious commercial environments.

Slab Reinforcement
Foundation PCC is a preparatory concrete layer laid on the soil before starting foundation work. It creates a stable, level base, prevents soil contamination, evenly distributes loads, and protects the foundation from moisture, ensuring durability and long-term structural stability.
We conduct the floor slab reinforcement test to check if the rebar is properly placed, spaced, and aligned, ensuring it meets design specifications for strength, stability, and load-bearing capacity.

ThExpansion joints accommodate movement caused by temperature changes, preventing cracks and maintaining structural integrity by allowing controlled expansion and contraction.
Slab casting is done by pouring concrete evenly, ensuring proper mix ratios, compacting to eliminate air pockets, and curing effectively to create a durable and strong structure.
Formwork, also known as shuttering, is a temporary or permanent mold used in construction to shape and support concrete until it solidifies.
