Heritage Tile Internship SketchUp and Lumion
Heritage Tile is a tile company that strives to provide historically authentic tile/stone products and design services. As a summer Interior Architecture Intern one of my projects was to design Parisian/Art Nouveau style bathrooms that he Paris nd are

Floor Tile Pattern






Métro Tile - Specialty Tile










This bathroom has a couple of tile patterns. Large tiles are used as wainscot, with the scallop specialty tile topping off the wainscot. The same large tile is then turned diagonally for the upper half.
These bathrooms also use a sanitary cove base, a tile that rounds out at the bottom to meet with the floor and make it easier to clean


These wall concepts are smaller examples of how Métro Tile can be used on wall installations.









Nature Pavilion Miami, FL
Rhino, Revit, Illustrator, Lumion
This project explores the dynamic transition from urban life to nature mirroring the park‘s evolution from structured, human-designed landscapes to untamed natural surroundings. The design embraces this progression through a spatial hierarchy that flows from private to public.
Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean Revival style a hallmark of Coral Gables’ architectural heritage the nature center integrates open patios as a vital design element.


The patios not only honor the region‘s historical aesthetic but also serve as functional extensions of the discovery and resiliency rooms, offering additional flexible spaces By blurring the boundary between interior and exterior the patio becomes a threshold that enriches the experience of transitioning from built environments to the natural world.

Vantage Point is a dynamic architectural intervention located in Miami's Design District, conceived as both a visual and experiential landmark By merging aesthetics with functionality, Vantage Point offers visitors the opportunity to ascend through a network of balconies and staircases to admire the vibrant facades and artistic diversity of the district.





The structure is formed by an intricate configuration of polyhedrons—tetrahedrons, octahedrons and dodecahedrons—resulting in a multifaceted geometry that reflects the district's creative ethos
The staircases not only create varied pathways for exploration but also double a an active space for cardio workouts addin layer of recreational programming Throug its playful yet purposeful design, Vantage Point invites engagement with both the physical environment and the community.

Intergenerational Living Community
Madison, WI
Revit
To extend housing for Hope and the Future - an intergenerational community that will provide seniors and young families a place where they can connect, restore, and flourish
Add 15 units for seniors and 4 apartments for young families, creating more affordable housing Create contact zones for residents to connect and create a community. The resulting impact will better the health of their seniors while giving them a sense of independence and giving families a source of reliance when raising their children.

An open, multi-use space near the main hallway enables residents to easily engage in ongoing activities

On the opposite side, the dining room lounge area and kitchen are located close together to enhance the sense of community

Biophilic design can improve mental health, social connections, and aid in physical recovery.
Using biophilic design to increase health and foster connections

Designing interiors that embrace biophilic design patterns can decreases the degree of seasonal associated depression


Intergenerational communal zones (ICZ) mixed with biophilia will improve health and relationships across generations.

The foyer daycare, multi-purpose room, and kitchen/dining are adjacent to each other so that all the loud spaces are clustered together
The library is semi-adjacent to the ICZs separating the communal areas from the more private resident apartments

Fluid circulation within the communal areas leads residents to each ICZ without relying on an egg crate floorplan

Spaces are laid out to create circulation that weaves in and about. The open ICZs let residents peek in as they go to other facilities.
The final floorplan switches the library with the top 1-bedroom apartment so as to create a solid distinction between ICZ and private zones.

*Daycare and 3 of the apartments are handled by other designers

This would be a great opportunity for the clientele to enjoy their stay and for Christina to enjoy their company while remaining active. Each space is ADAaccessible and takes into account universal design





Communal and private areas are separated for privacy. Communal areas are connected with each other for increased social interactions and visual access.
Smiley faces in the block diagram represent initial ideas about where to add designs that spark conversation.

I chose this textile because of its familiarity. My family is from Ecuador’s Andes region and these types of blouses are commonly worn with skirts called polleras. Both garments portray flower themes through their embroidery and flowy
