Clinical Supply Center Perkin&Will 2019-2021 Labs + Office South San Francisco
The main project I’ve been working on at Perkins&Will since I started working. I worked starting with Schematic design all the way through construction administration (currently under construction). Clinical Supply Center is a pharmaceutical building designed to develop customized medicine for our confidential client. My main contribution in this project was modeling and documentation, design and conceptualization of different elements, in-house renderings, LEED documentation and building physical models.
THE BUILDING IS CONCEPTUALIZED AS TWO MAIN VOLUMES: 1. The manufacturing element is contained within a lower volume, designed with a humble but highly functional facade. This sensibility also applies to the auxiliary loading mass at the rear of the project. 2. The public facing element is given a more noticeable and dramatic appearance with the introduction of a “pavilion” type roof and extensive glazing to heighten the user experience of the workplace with expansive views and diffused daylight. Perkins&Will designed the public facing element and exterior of the building while a specialized engineering firm designed the manufacturing and lab element of this building.

Sunshades on the east facing facade reference the patterning of a DNA sequencing readout and filter the sunlight; these shades reduce direct heat gain and glare, providing use-able daylight to the office area.

Reception Desk Sneezeguard Perkin&Will 2020 Office South San Francisco
In early 2020, at the start of the pandemic, in order to keep their personel and visitors safe and protected, our client needed to create simple and custom-designed plexiglass sneezeguards for reception desks in 18 of their buildings. The sneezeguards needed to be built quickly and implemented in buildings in two weeks. We developed designs based on their need for pass-thru openings and created typical details for joints and attachments.

Patient Lab Studio Perkin&Will 2021 Lab + Offices South San Francisco
The Patient Studio is a newly defined space that allows patients to be part of research and development of their treatments through surveys and simulations. This is a remodel of an existing building to create required spaces for the studio. My contribution to this project was documentation, rendering and walk-through experience for the client (link below).
OVERVIEW Project consists of lobby, which is shared with the rest of the building, Welcome area, Exhibit and corridor areas and core functions at the center.

Daylight Analysis Perkin&Will 2020 Office Palo Alto
This project was part of a renovation project for Danisco in Palo Alto. Preliminary daylight analysis was conducted to assess the current baseline conditions and used to inform the daylight improvement and glare mitigation strategies.
DAYLIGHT METRICS Advanced daylight tools were utilized to simulate annual lighting levels within regularly occupied spaces. The Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI) metric was used to assess the amount of daylight being received at each sensor location. UDI indicates the amount of time when illuminance levels are achieved during regular occupied daylight hours. There are four categories of UDI outlined below • • • •
UDI – Failing: < 100 lux UDI – Supplemental: 100-300 lux UDI – Acceptable: 301 – 3,000 lux UDI – Excessive: > 3,000 lux
MODELING PARAMETERS To model the building for daylight analysis, where detailed baseline building data was not available, assumptions were utilized to best guess current building parameters. Those assumptions are listed below. • • • • • •
Glazing: Double-pane clear glazing: Tvis: 79% (visible transmittance) Interior white painted walls: Rvis 85% (reflectance) Interior flooring: Rvis 39% Interior ceiling: Rvis 70% Weather File: Palo Alto AP TMYx 2004-2018 Not included in model: Surrounding trees and landscape
BASELINE RESULTS ANALYSIS Baseline Building with No Blinds The baseline analysis conducted confirmed the existing conditions. Due to the building’s orientation, there is significant SE and SW facing façade with no solar protection. With the blinds open, the East Wing and South portions of the Central Wing suffer from significantly overly lit areas indicated in pink. These areas would suffer from excessive heat gain as well as disturbing glare conditions. Baseline Building with With Blinds Down With the blinds closed, as expected, we see a significant drop off in daylight with most areas being under lit. This closely reflects the current conditions where the majority of spaces are relying on electric lighting to supplement lighting levels. To assess the effectiveness of daylight and glare measures, a focus will be made on the Level 1 Central Wing, Level 2 Central Wing and Level 2 East Wing as they receive the most amount of daylight and glare.
MODELING EXCESSIVE LIGHT MITIGATION MEASURES Two different glare mitigation measures were modeled to mitigate excessive glare in areas adjacent to windows and allow for the blinds to be left open and encourage natural daylight further into the space. In addition, to encourage natural daylight harvesting deeper into the floor plate, a skylight and central atrium were modeled to understand the impacts.
Split Glazing to Daylight and View Portions The first suggested measure is to divide the perimeter glazing into an upper daylight portion and lower view portion. Daylight redirecting film could be placed on the upper daylight portion to redirect light deeper into the space. The lower view glazing portion would contain roller shade blinds that allow the control of daylight at seated and standing heights while still providing limited light penetration (shade cloth assumed to have 3-5% opacity) This solution greatly reduces excessive overly lit areas on the Southeast façade. While the Southwest façade is improved from the baseline, it still receives significant amounts of daylight primarily due to the large skylight. External Louvers Install external louvers of Southeast and Southwest facades to minimize direct sun penetration into spaces causing excessive heat gain and glare. Louvers also act as an external light shelf to reflect light deeper into interior spaces. The louvers in combination with the split glazing further reduces excessive glare on the Southeast and Southwest facades. However once again due to the large skylight on the Southwest façade, there is still significantly over lit areas.
New Skylight To encourage more daylight in the central floor area of Level 2, a skylight was modeled to understand the impacts. While this improves Level 2 daylight performance, Level 1 still suffers from a lack of natural light. To address that issue, a central atrium was also modeled to introduce natural daylight into the central spaces.
Central Atrium To encourage daylight in the central areas of both levels, a central atrium was modeled that would include a connecting stairway and opening down to Level 1.
The results of this analysis indicates that the best performance is received from a combination of external louvers and perimeter glazing that allows for upper light penetration but still allows for daylight controls with a weave cloth that allows for 3-5% opacity.
Beacon Chicago Highrise and Habitat Studio Fall 2017 Hotel + Condominiums Chicago Team Project
2000 ft Tall mixed-use building on the site of Calatrava’s Spire in Streeterville Chicago. Including Office, Hotels and Condo. Simple and slim form that gradually tapers in the lower third of the building.
Watch the Animation!
The intermediate space between the two curtain walls in the south side of the building creates an optimal place for some semioutdoor balconies for the office floors. The outer skin helps as a rainscreen and wind barrier to provide a space with stable conditions that can be used most of the year.
The site is surrounded on three sides by Chicago river and lake Michigan. It includes a restaurant, green space and an outdoor amphitheater. The reception, lobbies and retail spaces are located on the first floor. In the site, paths have been implemented to connect the river walk and the biking route to the site for better use and connectivity.
The main Amenity space is located at the intersection of hotel floors and residential floors and works as a vertical plaza inside the tower. It creates spaces with different functionalities like fitness center, groceries and green areas. This zone is accessible by both residents and hotel guests and is designed to bring people together and create a more social and lively place in the building.

During my graduate assistantship in the fabrication shop at the University of Illinois, I tried to experiment with different machines including CNC Router and 3d printer and figure out the limitations of the machines and softwares associated with them. I also experimented with different materials and did studies on making the workflow more efficient.

Internet Archive Tectonics of the immaterial Fall 2018 Library+Archive+Coworking Toronto Team Project (w/ Nico Hsu) Earl Prize Winner
Internet Archive is a physical manifestation of internet, but it can be so much more than a server farm. Due to the growing number of freelancers and coworking enthusiasts, in this project we tried to create a new working experience for coworking and freelancers. With juxtaposition of building programs from a traditional building point to a new order where the program immitates a residence, we encourage freelancers to feel more at home and work in a variety of different environments suited best for them.

Tree Home Archon Studio Spring 2018 House Mount Baker, WA Individual Project Archon Prize Winner
The intent of this studio is to design a 1000sqft ‘home’ by designer’s definition of home. And design and build a piece of furniture that belongs to that home. My design is two treehouses that are joined together in the middle and create a hirarchy of living spaces. The organic geometry of spaces help the building stand out while blending in with the surroundings.

School of Music Final Design Studio Spring 2016 Shiraz University Educational Shiraz, Iran Solo Project
Design of a School of Music is more than just floors, walls and ceilings. You have to capture the essence of music. You have to design so that the spaces can transfer this feeling to people. I tried to create multiple social places not only for the students and faculty but also for public to bring people closer to music.

Since the project is located in Iran, there are influences of Iranian architecture on the building. To name a few, There is a central courtyard with the ideas of Persian garden in the middle and there are columned porticoes present in the design which are some of the features of Persian Architecture. The use of brick and stained glasses also brings out the essence of the architecture of Iran. 1
