Tangled
Located in the heart of Madrid, the site that was given for this project was dense and full of awkward angles. The goal was to design a building that would allow for the coexistence of eight completely different programs. The aim was to maximize the use of the space which allowed the project to have a myriad of delightful and fun programatic collisions. Named the “Tangled Playground” is meant to represent the two largest programs (the Urban Park and Wall Climbing Wall) as they twist around, not only each other, but also weive around other programs aswell.

Modular Missing Middle
Minneapolis, MN
Northeastern, Spring 2023
General Strategy Highlighting the framing aspect of modular housing while testing the potential of elevation changes within the apartments, the TD House offers a home for eight families to have their own backyards and a high degree of privacy.
Offsite Fabrication
The connections between the modules are simple lap joints where the outer fill is infilled with the other mod and fastened using lag bolts. Even though this project has changes in elevation, a similar opening is made in the facade to be able to create a lap joint. Additionally, the change in elevation and maximum height of the mod makes the maximum allowed difference to be 2ft to ensure comfortable transition between the modules.
8
Assembly Sequence The VBC system ships almost finished modules to the site where they are assembled using simple lap joints while the roof and facade are assmebled on site. The framing of the ground floor yards can also be shipped out as panels and assembled on site, while the roof garden can be placed in the same way as a module.
9
Site Logic
The arrangements of the mods allows for two different types of appartments that mirror each other but are a 2ft differ-ence in elevation change. The apartments themselves are also at a 2ft difference from one another, where the taller module opens up into the private yard that is the size of and designed as if it were a mod too.
Unit Logic Because the design has two different types of apart-ments, the orgnization of them is based on ensuring privacy be-tween the different apartments while making sure that everyone has a backyard and their own private views. Implementing ele-vation changes also helps break up the mass of the project while providing a dynamic experience.
Variable Configuration
Because of the two types of apartments, many different combinations are possible, allowing a lot of variety for all types of sites. Additionally, the configuration of the apart-ments always allows for a central walk-up entrance which en-sures that all the tenants have a singular main entrance, while their backyards allow for another exit/entrance. Depending on the size of the site, parking is also possible.

Mission Hill Urban Renewal
BOSTON, MA
Northeastern, Fall 2022
Based in the Mission Hill neighborhood, the project focused on designing the framework for what was once a parking lot. The lack of green space, pedestrian access or bike paths area inspired the idea of pushing walkability within the area. To do that, central spaces and pedestrian plazas and walkways throughout the site became the focal point for the framework of the space, including a green walkable bridge that conects different sections of the site. This was meant to encourage walking in a safe and comfortable environment with spaces to rest and enjoy the outdoors, whether that be with their child in at one of the playgrounds, small pavillions, or community gardens. Additionally, the designed framework is intended to provide differing types of housing; an area dedicated to young professionals, and others to families that would improve home ownership rates in the area. On the ground floors that face dedicated commercial paths, retail and restaurant spaces are provided for local businesses while bike paths circulate the entire site.

Iteria Library
BOSTON, MA
Northeastern, Fall 2020
The final studio project for Fall 2020 was to design a new building for the Boston Public Library (BPL) that serves the Chinatown neighborhood. The building proposal speculates what a full-service public library might look like for a rapidly changing neighborhood like Chinatown. This new branch library houses a large collection of volumes and associated reading spaces while simultaneously considers the evolving identity of the library as a mixed-use community hub, with public spaces and services that are free for all.
19
AN URBAN GARDEN
The design proposes a library with two central outdoor spaces, or “urban gardens”, around which the circulation takes place. The idea revolves around rejecting the isolating experience of the precedent study, the Beinecke Libray in New Haven, whose glass vetrine does not allow the general public access to its texts. Rather than restraining the patrons from entering the vetrine area, the design fosters public interaction through this notion of thickened walls, and extrusions that serve as bookshelves, desks, and secondary reading areas on the interior, and then as tables, plantation areas, and canopies on the exterior.

The library is intended to be an experience wherein people can walk through without interruption, specifically on the ground floor where most of the public spaces and leisure reading can be done. Otherwise, the thickened spaces of the centralized areas are dedicated to bookshelves, and reading carrels. These spaces include the main collection and also the library offices. The third floor is the main reading room, with more places to study and acts an extension of the main collection. The reading room overlooks the ground floor, keeping it exposed yet away from the noise at

MOTUS HOUSE
KRALJEVO, SERBIA
Bee Breeders Architecture Competition, 2021
The Motus House offers a unique take on what is already a progressive field of architecture; micro-houses. The idea behind the design aims to prioritize adaptability and affordability. Therefore we created a general example of a micro-home that utilizes low cost, local materials, and simple but effective design that can be adapted globally based on its local resources.
Plans
26
The micro-homes run on solar power along with the inclusion of compost panels underneath the house structure. This introduction of green power and recycling opens many more doors for the future of sustainability.
The dynamic interior is staged by numerous moving panels. It allows the expansion and enclosure of spaces such as living rooms or dining halls. It provides a cheap but efficient way of manipulating space and creating different living areas and experiences in a very limited space.

THE INTERSECTION

Northeastern, Fall 2022
From the beginning of this project, we had in mind the notion that if we were building something on Centennial, it would need to be subtle. Centennial is independently a very successful space where thousands of students of students sit, relax, and study – it is the focal point of Northeastern’s campus. But, we noticed an opportunity for improvement; Centennial currently serves as a pedestrian roundabout. Students coming from the East side of campus, from Ruggles, from West Village, or from Forsyth street all come to centennial and walk around it. We imagined a subtle, sculptural pavilion that would attempt to break this taboo, inviting students to walk across centennial and under our pavilion. With our final version, our project’s core ideas remain fully intact. It is angled in a way that funnels two axes of travel (E-W, and SW-NE), and uses a single row of mast-like columns to avoid a large footprint. We’ve gotten rid of the explicit, concrete connection where the two structures once met – opening up that space for more pedestrian traffic. Furthermore, we’ve further depended on cables to laterally stabilize the overall structure.

Chelsea Creek Park

Handel Architects, Co-op
A quick one week concept design based on an unusually long but thin strip of green, this project was designed to take advantage of this unusualness and provide different flexible spaces using green mounds of various sizes as one travels down it. While studying the surorunding area and considering it’s proximity to the Bremen Street Community Park, it was understood that there were not many programs that could be placed on this site without being redundant to the neighborhood. Therefore, creating spaces where the space itself can be adapted was the basis for this design. The mounds added a more active use to the flexible spaces, being more comfortable for laying

A lobby renovation and exterior entrance design project, 580 Chelsea was an opportunity to be immersed in the design development phase of the project, fully develop construction documents, organize and maintain BIM 360 workflows, prepare content for client presentations, and build up fully detailed Rhino models. In adition to this work, it was an opportunity to produce different iterations for stairs, lights, mailrooms and canopy designs to discuss with the Handel team. Another point of innovative design in this project was the canopy detailing and brainstorming how to reroute rainwater to the ground in an aesthetic manner.

A life science innovation campus, 2 Harbor building 1 and 2 are two buildings that are in different stages of the design process that I was able to contribute to. While Building 1 topped off in the fourth quarter of 2023, I was involved in reviewing submittals, preparing graphics for potential tenant presentations, and generating office and lab layouts that meet LEED and WELL standards. Building 2 has been submitted to the BPDA for approval in February of 2024, where I was involved with iterating parking, lobby and back of house organizations that comply with building codes, generating and maintaining early energy models and calculations based off of glazing percentages, and pushing the building boundaries to account for an increase in floor area requested by the clients.
