ABOUT

Through my designs, I seek to create interior experiences that are unique and foster the identity of those inhabiting the space. It is my belief that every interior should be a reflection upon the values of the client; distilling these ideals into a concept to shape a beautiful, functional, and sustainable interior environment.

SPAULDING REHABILITATION HOSPITAL STUDIO V_ SPRING 2013

healthcare Approaching the design of the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, I aimed to embrace the values of Translational Medicine, encouraging collaboration and chance encounters between researchers, clinicians, and patients. With this in mind, I used the Tree of Life as a metaphor, alluding to the connection of all life on our planet; to shape the space around this trending healthcare concept.

SAVE THE CHILDREN OFFICE

corporate Save the Children is an NGO that works to promote awareness of improving the lives of children around the world. Similar to the work of Save the Children, the site of their new office located on Potsdamer StraĂ&#x;e has recently been an area of major redevelopment. Together the goals of Save the Children and the site formed the concept of active revitalization for the design of the new office space which is expressed through the connection of spaces and materials.

CO HOUSING STUDIO I1I_ FALL 2012

housing Co-housing values a strong bond within the people of the community.

The design of the space embraces this concept by a well-defined central circulation connecting both building’s communal areas. Aesthetically, the simple industrial scheme allows for the artist residents to showcase their unique, individual, and constantly changing styles.

DAY SPA

STUDIO I1_ SPRING 2012

hospitality When given the existing Wellness Spa building located on Newbury Street, Boston MA, the goal was to capture the flow of water representing pedestrians through the space. The existing architecture is incorporated by using the windows to determine skylight locations and extend light through the space.
