HAVEN STUDIOS

KU Design Build

This three-semester project encompassed design, construction documentation, and physical construction. I was fortunate to participate in the hands-on construction phase. In just one semester, my class and I successfully built the entire house from the ground up. This experience provided a profound learning opportunity, expanding my knowledge of construction and the intricate processes involved in building a house.

ELEVATED GREEN SPACE AND ITS PROGRAM

The concept is straightforward: a continuous wellness program addressing mental, physical, and nutritional well-being. Each apartment building features a program that promotes one of these three wellness aspects. The outdoor program corresponds to the nearest building. I aimed to establish an inclusive wellness community where everyone is welcome to live and thrive in a cohesive environment.
