This architectural studio project proposes a summer residence envisioned for a diplomatic figure, designed to function as both a private retreat and a venue for large-scale gatherings of up to 150 guests. The spatial arrangement carefully balances public and private zones, enabling seamless transitions between intimate living and formal entertaining.
Named after its relationship with the sun, the project is oriented to capture both sunrise and sunset views, making natural light a key experiential element. The design employs exposed concrete to merge the raw elegance of brutalism with the refinement of modern luxury. The sculpted massing creates a strong visual identity while enhancing thermal performance.
Light-filled interiors define the event spaces, with carefully positioned openings ensuring brightness throughout the day. Programmatic features include a home theater, a subterranean parking facility with an integrated gym, and an infinity pool that extends the architecture into the surrounding landscape.

SKYFALL TOWERS
ATLANTA GA, U.S.A
Skyfall Towers is a 12-story mixed-use landmark envisioned for the heart of Atlanta, Georgia. The project integrates a transit hub, luxury hotel, high-end residences, office spaces, and a vibrant shopping mall within a single vertical framework. The design responds to the city’s growing need for multifunctional urban spaces that blend work, living, and leisure in a cohesive and future-forward environment.
The tower’s bold concrete façade features cantilevered and stepped floor plates that give the illusion of the structure “falling” — an intentional visual metaphor reflected in the project’s name. This shifting form not only creates dramatic shading and depth, but also maximizes skyline views and allows for varied spatial experiences at each level. The clean concrete edges double as structural elements and passive shading devices, reinforcing the minimalist yet expressive aesthetic.
As the building ascends, floorplates gradually reduce in size and shift outward, enhancing daylight access, cross-ventilation, and panoramic visibility. A central skylight anchors the design, acting as a unifying feature that introduces natural light deep into the building’s core. This gesture establishes a grand arrival experience and ties together the commercial, hospitality, and residential functions in a singular architectural identity.
Structural Diagram
A key feature of Skyfall Towers is its bold use of overhanging concrete floorplates, which function not only as structural elements but also as passive sunshading devices. These cantilevered forms reduce solar gain, improve thermal comfort, and cast dynamic shadows that animate the building’s façade throughout the day. At the base of the tower, a large green event terrace acts as a communal anchor, offering a flexible open-air space for gatherings, performances, and social interaction. This elevated landscape bridges the transition between the transit hub, commercial podium, and residential levels above reinforcing the building’s role as a fully integrated vertical community that connects mobility, commerce, and domestic life in one cohesive architectural system.

AQUARIA
RED SEA COAST, EGYPT
ECOTOURISM | RECREATIONAL | COASTAL DIVE CENTER
Aquaria is envisioned as more than a building—it is a spatial experience where architecture, environment, and climate coexist in harmony. Set along a coastal edge, the project embraces its maritime context by drawing inspiration from the rhythm and flow of water. The structural design features exposed steel trusses sheathed in corrugated metal, celebrating both industrial expression and structural legibility. This material approach lends the building a resilient yet refined character, allowing it to withstand the elements while maintaining a sleek, contemporary profile.
The interior is conceived as a fluid and open environment, adaptable to a wide range of public functions including exhibitions, performances, workshops, and informal gatherings. High ceilings and minimal structural intrusions allow for uninterrupted spatial continuity, encouraging flexible use and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Natural ventilation, diffused lighting, and carefully framed views contribute to a serene interior atmosphere, balancing activity with calm. The layout emphasizes user movement and flow, echoing the tidal energy just beyond its walls.
The program includes an amphitheater, café, kitchen, guest accommodations, public restrooms, storage, and service docks, all seamlessly integrated beneath a single flowing canopy.
Aquaria rises along Egypt’s Red Sea coast as a sweeping long-span steel structure, its fluid, wave-like form echoing the motion of the surrounding waters. Engineered for Egypt’s harsh desert climate, Aquaria employs passive cooling strategies—deep overhangs, integrated shading devices, and a porous spatial l ayout that promotes airflow.

THE VALE
NEDERLAND CO, U.S.A
RESIDENTIAL/ COMMERCIAL | CIVIC | COMMUNITY | RECREATIONAL | SUSTAINABLE
Located in Nederland, Colorado, The Vale—also known as the Wolftongue Mill Redevelopment—is a communitydriven project that reimagines a historic industrial site through the lens of sustainability and resilience. Grounded in the AIA’s COTE Top Ten principles, the design emphasizes ecological performance, adaptive reuse, and public engagement.
A central winding pathway acts as both a circulation spine and a hydrological system, threading through the site like a living membrane. Designed with permeable surfaces, it captures snowmelt and rainwater, channeling it into an on-site reservoir for reuse in irrigation and greywater systems. This infrastructure merges functionality with experiential design, encouraging interaction with natural processes.
The project reconnects the community with the landscape, linking new public amenities, gathering spaces, and restored ecological zones. The Vale not only preserves the spirit of the historic mill but also transforms the site into a resilient, regenerative model for post-industrial redevelopment.

Co-Housing Unit
This proposal introduces a community driven network of co-housing units, public amenities, and adaptive reuse strategies to foster ecological living and shared experiences.

As part of the redevelopment strategy, the abandoned mill structure has been repurposed into a public community wellness center that anchors the site’s new identity. The adaptive reuse intervention transforms the former industrial shell into a multi-functional gym equipped with modern fitness facilities, private changing rooms, a therapeutic sauna, and a communal lounge area. This new programmatic insertion not only activates the historic structure but also fosters health, well-being, and social interaction within the local community demonstrating how preservation and public benefit can coexist within a single architectural gesture.
