SENSORY THEORY - THESIS PROJECT
Nestled between North Miami and South Hollywood, the site is at the north point of Biscayne Bay and located on Florida International University Biscayne Bay Campus The site is connected to nature and water adjacent to state parks and nature reserves, but does not impede on these protected lands. The site is zoned as a Public Use District, allowing the development of land in an efficient, innovative, and flexible way in order to maximize the benefit to the public. The site is within a Regional Activity Center overlay, encouraging small to large scale development that facilitates a balanced mix of land uses by providing maximum flexibility for activities.
Thesis proposal for a collaborative campus that provides access to mental health care through exploring sensory therapy, the combination of architectural phenomenology, and psychological therapy. This campus located in North Miami, will be a prototype that breaks the stigma of mental health conditions and care while promoting public awareness
As sea levels increase the site adapts to sea level rise, creating a sustainable resilient structure for Miami’s imminent future. Becoming a connected resource that improves the present flood management, and converts into an oasis retreat as Miami becomes a saturated landscape.

FONTHILL
A cafe, a book store, small retail shop and outdoor amenities are carved into the landscape to activate this site for visitors and local residents. Wrapping paths and sloping grade allows various uses of the mass and ADA access up to the larger main picnic area at the top.
The site features a new gallery space stitched into the woods west of the existing mansion. The galleries spatial concept includes a sequence of reflective interiors to mirror the play of light and shadow. Selectively placing mirror panels at the sculptural halls and voids, the outside tree canopy and atmosphere is continuously reflected into the interior. The boundary between interior and exterior is intentionally lost within this concept, creating a surreal and whimsical interior.
