THIS 3-STORY CANYON HOME REMODEL INVOLVING SUBSTANTIAL STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT IS AM AMBITIOUS PROPOSAL DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE A RETIRED COUPLE. THE EXISTING LAYOUT LACKED VISUAL AND PHYSICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THREE FLOORS. SINCE THE CLIENT HAD NO SPECIFIC USE FOR THE LOUNGE BY HIS OFFICE ON THE TOP LEVEL WHICH LOOKS OUT TO THE BEST VIEW OF THE ENTIRE HOME, IT WAS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO DEMOLISH AND CREATE A DOUBLE HEIGHT SPACE CONNECTING HIS OFFICE TO THE MAIN LIVING AREA BELOW WHERE SHE IS OFTEN LOUNGING. NOT ONLY DOES THIS PROPOSAL ENRICH THE COUPLE’S COMPANIONSHIP BY PROMOTING PHYSICAL CONNECTION AND EASY COMMUNICATION, BUT THE VIEW OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN SUNSET WILL BE TWICE

STUDY RENDERING OF AVIARY W/ ARTIFICIAL SKYLIGHT

TWO RED BELLIED PARROTS THE CLIENTS REQUESTED A SPACE TO PARK TWO 3 FT CUBE PRE-FAB BIRD CAGES. WE PROPOSED AN INTEGRATED AND CUSTOM AVIARY WITH OPTIMAL CONDITIONS FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF CLIENT, THE RED-BELLIED PARROTS, COMPLETE WITH FULL SPECTRUM ARTIFICIAL SKYLIGHT.

1024 CENTINELA AVE.

AN EXPERIMENT BETWEEN FORM, PROPORTION AND OPTICAL ILLUSION, THE PROPOSED SPEC HOME IS SITUATED 12 FEET ABOVE STREET LEVEL WHICH ALLOWED A LEVEL OF PLAY WITH PERSPECTIVE. ALTHOUGH THE PROPOSED ROOF HAS FLAT ELEMENTS, THE INCORPORATION OF THE ANGLED RAIN SCREEN AND CURTAIN WALL PROVIDES THE APPEARANCE OF A MORE TRADITIONAL PITCHED ROOF, THUS SATISFYING THE TRADITIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE COMMUNITY HOMEOWNER’S ASSOCIATION WHILE LOOKING UNCONVENTIONALLY MODERN AT THE SAME TIME.

FIXED RAIN SCREEN HAS A FLAT TOP THAT APPEARS SLOPED FROM STREET LEVEL / IN PERSPECTIVE.

SIMIHAZE (CHEONG DAM, KOREA)

A SERIES OF POP-UP SHOPS, EACH CUSTOM DESIGNED PERTAINING TO ITS SITE IN SEOUL, CHEONG DAM, SHINSEGAE GANGNAM, WERE FABRICATED AND PRODUCED BY PHNTM. THE PROJECT WAS COMPLETED IN 3 WEEKS FROM CONCEPTUAL DESIGN TO COMPLETION. MY ROLE ON THIS PROJECT WAS TO PRODUCE THE TECHNICAL SET FOR FABRICATORS AND COORDINATE WITH THEM ON CONSTRUCTION DETAILS, QUALITY CONTROL AND MATERIAL SELECTION.

CLERESCOPE STUDIOS

IS A SEVEN-UNIT LOFT COMPLEX LOCATED ON 6TH STREET BRIDGE IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES. THE FORM OF EACH UNIT WAS INSPIRED BY MODERN-DAY PERISCOPES USED IN SUBMARIES, A DESIGN DECISION WHICH RESPONDS TO THE SHADOW CASTED BY THE BRIDGE. A PERISCOPE-LIKE STRUCTURE WOULD BRING NATURAL LIGHT THROUGH TWISTS AND TURNS WITHOUT COMPROMISING LUMINANCE. THE GOAL OF THIS DESIGN IS TWO-FOLD: BRING LIGHT TO THE AREA BENEATH THE BRIDGE WHILE PRESERVING THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE BRIDGE. MINIMAL OBSTRUCTION TO THE BRIDGE ALLOWS ITS SURFACE TO BE REPURPOSED INTO A PRIVATE VIEWING DECK FOR FUTURE RESIDENTS.

WITH THE DECK PRESERVED, THE HIDDEN SPACE UNDER THE BRIDGE REMAINS THE DARKEST AREA OF THE ENTIRE SITE. THE FORM IS DESIGNED AND MANIPULATED TO FUNNEL MAXIMUM NATURAL LIGHT TO THAT PARTICULAR AREA.
