The design of this Charter School was influenced by the concept of creating a link between the school and the community.

As a center for the neighborhood, the design relates to the surrounding site. Its form is driven by two main buildings which serve as nodes. These buildings are rotated toward the grid pattern of the site at the intersection between Hoover Street and Adams Boulevard. They consist of classrooms and faculty offices and are connected through an underground level. Representing the link to the community and the nearby park, a physical connection is also created between the two nodes by slanted green roofs. These roofs blend the landscape with the building while creating inviting outdoor gathering spaces for the students, faculty, and community.

exposition park museum This Art Museum focuses on creating an experience for visitors to enjoy both the surrounding environment and artwork.

Located within Exposition Park, the design of the museum is influenced by a promenade of trees that are unique to the site.

Encouraging circulation and movement, the museum weaves under, above, and between the trees creating various indoor and outdoor museum gallery spaces.

Located at the LA River, this Knowledge Center is 1,000,000 sf of mixed use program including spaces for work and live along with various green spaces for landscape and gathering. This design focuses on the issue of urban planning and revitalizing the LA River to create environmental, social, and economic benefits to the community. The design of the Knowledge Center consists of two buildings each with a work tower for offices and live tower for residences. With the surrounding zoning consisting of work on one side of the river and live on the other, each building creates a bridge that crosses the river to integrate the work and live environment of the site with the work and live towers of the building.

residential high-rise The focus of this downtown Residential High-Rise utilizes various BIM programs to develop and analyze the design. Revit was used to create the basic form of the building along with further developing an apartment floor plan. To understand the passive and active cooling and heating systems, an environmental systems diagram was created in Rhino. Vasari was then used for an energy analysis to obtain data on the effect of solar radiation on the High-Rise. sun from southeast shielded by overhang
