PLAZA ASSISTED LIVING
The first step of the project was a poem analysis which turned into a diagram. My process involved using color notation for words relating to violence, large natural forces, bread/earth, body/life, and music. I then used these color themes to inform the planning and material palette with the given building shell and program requirements.
The residents of this facility are makers and tinkerers, who use creation and craft as a form of therapy.
The overarching design intent is to create experiences reminiscent of walking through a city, providing choice and autonomy for residents.

SEAHORSE BARN
After studying Ray Kappe’s BorgheiCookston house, we were tasked with combining elements from the house with the Binker Barn model at Sea Ranch. Working with a partner, we created this home for two families to cohabitate, adding an ADU extension for the second family.
Dollhouse models in architecture were another topic in studio, so this also was a main feature for Seahorse Barn. We designed the hinge to swing open the shared dining and living space.

CO-OP COMMUNITY CENTER
In the context of bustling, urban Los Angeles, a need arises for a community space that is safe and protected, yet still fosters connectedness with others. This community center is meant to provide opportunities for growth for individuals and famlies alike. Being centrally located with many nearby businesses, the first floor is designated to be open and flexible for use. The second floor is dedicated to students to learn and be expressive. Finally, the third floor encourages students to exercise and play freely.
