luxury development workshop/apd

2019

Comprised of five townhomes and nine residences, this West Village building features an architectural language steeped in the history of the neighborhood redefining luxurious modernity with modern relevance. My involvement included coordinating project efforts to ensure effective execution, collaborating with and supporting design team members, applying applicable local codes, producing construction documents and communicating with consultants, clients, and contractors. Lead designer Tom Zoli, Andrew Kotchen, project architect Colin Murtaugh, senior designer Irem Cabbaroglu, designer Alexander Gault

landmarked townhouse workshop/apd

2018

Maintaining the historical significance of the 1850’s New York townhouse while modernizing the interior & rear was the driver of this redesign. Clean lines, stained oak, natural light and blackened steel connection points highlight the unique material palette and simple architectural details. My involvement included production drawings ensuring a satisfactory solution is delivered that meets quality parameters, code research, material and building system research, site surveys, calculating program and building areas with timeliness of the delivery without compromising quality. Lead designer Tom Zoli, project architect Stephan Thimme, senior designer Irem Cabbaroglu, designer Alexander Gault, designer Constantina Tsiara.



6th ave apartment workshop/apd

2017

This home for a New York based family exudes glamour and sophistication. The contrasting textures and finishes give this space depth and create added layers of interest. My involvement included millwork and interior detailing, considering materials and costs according to budget and fees, sourcing products, researching and gathering information and photographs relating to the project and construction documents in Revit. Lead designer Brook Quach, project architect Stephan Thimme, designer Alexander Gault

reforma tower mexico city richard meier & partners llp Carving out a 40-story mixed-use tower includes high end offices, retail space, restaurants, a fitness center and space for parking. The project’s design challenges typical tower conventions. By strategically carving out the tower, structure and program become redistributed into new configurations. The volumetric cut-outs also maximize internal natural light and natural ventilation both improving transparency and emphasizing views of the historic boulevard. Working on these forms helped to develop my own spatial intelligence. Detail and craft are paid extremely close attention.

riverside drive new york richard meier & partners llp Constructing each study model becomes a design exercise in schedule, form and scale. Drawing sets were given to the model makers to actualize the project. Located on the Hudson this very modern residential, retail and office facility has a slim pure, iconic facade. The massing of the tower is graceful focusing on materials that are light, elegant and transparent. Light and airy glass structures add vitality to the West side.

Window bays and modules are maximized in size to full floor-to-floor heights, altogether eliminating any horizontal or vertical shadow panels, joints and reveals, and mullion profiles that keep the facade open and elegant. Interiors shades of white, incorporating white oak flooring, white lacquer kitchen cabinetry and light colored stone counters. A minimalistic expression relating to the United Nations buildings nearby.

Ultra High Performance envelopes optimize building performance while creating a comfortable environment for its dwellers. Valuing fresh air as a mediator between external and internal environments the dual facade system, louvers and shades drive the design of this bull pen style office. The dual facade includes perforated metal panel, rigid insulation, concrete and air space. Using existing R Value and a temperature in Phoenix, Arizona, a new building R Value from the inside was measured and displayed in a radiation map below.

Bullet train speeds make the system a new standard of long distance travel. The Station project combined research, urban corridor planning and design. Tasked with weighing potential sites and programing a station that linking Chicago to Dallas and the greater Mid West Region. Multi-modal and transit oriented development investment planning occurred between automobile, metro and pedestrian housing. The dialogue between city transportation & airport officials helped to establish the potential rail network and station. The half million sq ft. site footprint necessitated grand arrival and departure spaces. Parking for 500 cars, a metrolink station and bus transfers designed for commuters.

housing buenos aires professor freixas

2015

Between two neighboring complexes this housing proposal is designed to face inward. Maximizing light and air drives this 30 units, six story to approach space in subtractive ways. Space beings to be constructed through absence. Voids porosity gives users a chance to see outward into the vivant South American city. The typology of Buenos Aires is dense and this shared wall condition is typical. Carving out from the plan and section users begin to share sights and sounds between friends and family. Aiming to provide users with security and the sense of belonging to a community while also negotiating levels of privacy. The orthographic design has a highly efficient layout avoiding any ‘dead’ space since housing prices are high and the typical square footage for a single family is low. Considerations of fire egress, handicap access, plumbing, heating , electrical, structure were incorporated to the finished plans, sections and elevations.

Structure as sculpture emerged from the metal material choice. In this narrow site the building starts to ‘float’. A shell and party wall come together in harmony and start to sing. Continuity in the structural loads are distributed to the neighboring homes. The staircase assemblage was designed in tandem with the duplex acting as inspiration to form and function. Bolts, connections and welding are explored as well as aluminum bending.

Where are the books? The recent trend to turn libraries into digital resource centers and community gathering places is taking place in this neighborhood. A church, highway and residential collision give the building orientation. Design thinking research on family typologies, cultural values, and real estate value of the library were considered. Electronic books are read through projection unlike a traditional shelved library. The civic place balances between inviting areas filled with light for gathering and darker areas of respite for projection.

china bridge project professor viscardi

2013

Interdisciplinary architecture and engineering was used to shape this traditional ‘Rainbow’ bridge. Carpentry was deployed to create the full scale bridge which spanned twenty feet. Eight students collaborated in the process of harvesting lumber, assembling structure and all detailing. A two leg arch is woven into a three leg arch then over lade with the decking. Ancient notching techniques were used throughout the project, so that the entire bridge was made only from wood with zero metal fasteners. A metaphorical bridging of American and Chinese culture took place at the opening ceremony when a cohort of international students crossed the bridge for The Qingming Festival 清明

paper architecture professor ht jung

2013

Axis, dimensional patterns, elements and units creates a positional relationship. Similar units manipulate and transform an array. The controlled pattern , initially a single unit, multiplys to whirl around an axis. This began as a 2D composition exercise and became a 3D or 2.5 D sclupture in relief. A strong emphasis on connections are explored before the space filling pattern repeats and elements begin to link forming the entire larger field. Gestures of movement, flow and continuity happen through the paper.
