The wave form roof is made up of a paneled system with louvers on top of the panels. This panel system allows for some panels to be open air and allow the weather in, and other panels to have glass framed within, keeping foul weather out. This also allowed my floor plan grid to take shape along these panels.

Finally, the wave formed, louvered roof opens up the entire design to Hawaii’s perfect gentle breezes or “Kaiaulu”, which in Hawaiian means both “gentle breeze” and “community”.
The site given sits out on a peninsula on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, giving a northeastern wind to work with. I wanted to capture this beautiful site, first with its northeastern winds to ventilate, and secondly, to capture the gorgeous views over the Ocean.Pacific

NYC Apartments8WeekProject-Spring2022
In this design project, I was tasked with creating an affordable apartment complex in East Harlem, NY composed of studios and two-bedroom units.
Massing
Lastly, my 2-bedroom units are designed in an “L” shape to maximize space in a tight building enviroment. Thus, the “L” shaped units can stack in a yin and yang like pattern.
In my design, I placed an emphasis on creating a private garden enviroment on the interior of my complex only for residents to create a special atmosphere seperate from the busy urban jungle.
I, then, layered my interior facing apartments to allow light to better enter the garden from the south, as seen in the west facing section.
I also subtracted two wedges on the eastern front of my complex to engage with the urban edge to both pull people in to the site and to allow the residents to engage with the city.

8 Week Project - Fall 2021
This project had us design the first fully staffed fire station in Wamega, KS. This program has 4 core spaces: The public gathering space, the working/ apparatus space, the living space, and a community garden space. The road to the north of the site connections Wamego’s downtown to the city park, thus the public bar and entry runs directly along this route. The garden space also runs along this path between the public space and apparatus. This is intended to create an open and green enviroment for the community to use and meet the firemen working hard to keep them safe. The appartus is on the southside of the site to seperate the engines from the public spaces. Lastly, the living quarters sits on top of all 3 of the other spaces to both connect the Firefighters from their work to the public, but also to seperate them and create a private enviroment. This living bar is also angled to face directly into City Park to the Northeast to give the firemen the best view in Wamego.

This project is an adaptive- reuse project of a jewelry store and it is being reused as a theatre space and art gallery.
Spring 2022
The west side of the site opens up to a park, Which the design engages via the lofted glass theatre box or “jewel”. Lastly, there is an extended glass screen wrapped around the lofted theatre space for both acoustics and dispursing direct sunlight for the theatre and gallery.art
The design reuses the entire first floor and unique spiral staircase of the Jewelry store, while also expanding the same theme into the other half of the first floor’s cafe space. The second and third floor are entirely theatre based with rehearsal and changing rooms on the third floor that over look the threatre. These two floors are meant to look and act like a hidden “jewel” to embody the history of the jewelry store there before which you can see in the torenderingtheleft.

4 Week Project- Fall 2020 Fully Hand Drawn Project In this design, I carved away from 2 large limestone blocks, emphasised by the poche, to create a private study and artifact room for an Egyptologist. The site is on the bank of the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tennessee. Given this subtractivenaturallyproject, I decided to use pyrimidal forms to create and expand spaces within the limestone and around the site to emulate ancient Egyptian architecture. The study is carved out to the east with a clear view over the Mississippi River and the artifact room is carved facing the private garden space to the Overall,west. this design contains a study, kitchenette, artifact gallery, and bathroom.
