Santa Elena Art Museum

Year: 2023

Team: Nefele Talavera

An adapative reuse project, the challenge was to find the balance between the history and introducing a new personality. SEMA pushes the boundaries of the architecture of Venice, Italy. As an art museum that shares spaces with studio artists and glass modules that emphasize the dynamicism and flexibility of the artist’s work.

BAMBU

Year: 2022

This project involved developing a strategy for a conceptual multi-family complex on a 120’x120’ lot. The objective was to design a style of compound housing that would create a sense of community living. Inspired by Japanese Architecture style, my goal was to create moments within my design that would provide a sense of community.

CASA MIRAL

Year: 2022

This project was developed with the idea of creating a rowhouse style apartment living. The challenge was to engage a design proposal that questions the ideas of convention and tradition. Inspired by St.Augustine, Florida homes, my approach was emphasized in utilizing materials that were used in an Anglo-Caribbean home like wood and stucco.
