COZY CABIN BIM | Spring 2020 The focus of this final project was to recreate a three dimensional model in Revit from past work. This cabin design was originally made in an AutoCAD course. I changed the layout and material that I thought would best fit this new renovation.

PASSIVE DESIGN Havana, Cuba Studio | Fall 2019 For this final project, I designed a mixed-use residential building for Havana, Cuba. The design revolved around the trade embargo, climate, and sustainability. Key components involved an open floor plan, high ceilings, and a Brick Jali design.
Wood, concrete, brick, and metal are materials found in Cuba and can be easily salvaged from abandoned buildings.

PERSONAL WORK Besides Architecture, I enjoy other visual arts hobbies. My medium evolved from going to an art high school called Perpich Center for Arts Education. This school not only expanded my artistic skills but determined my career path to become an architect.

CAT HOUSE AutoCAD | Fall 2019 The focus of this project was to create a 3D object using AutoCAD, digitally slice the object, and then laser cut and assemble it. My design route was to create a prototype of a teardrop inspired cat house. The material I chose was cardboard so that the house itself could be a scratching post.

In this final project, the aim was to find a building that was well documented to be drawn in AutoCAD. Falling Water was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and was built in Mill Run, Pennsylvania. The focus was to highlight the importance of nature and the waterfall that inspired the design of this building.

CLOUD BOX Atmosphere Studio | Fall 2019 This project involved the deep examination of Peter’s Zumthor’s Nine Elements of Atmosphere with the relation of our five senses. The aim of my intervention of Zumthor’s Pavilion was to take on an opposite atmospheric feeling. The focus was to contrast from Zumthor’s dark, cold, and heavy atmosphere. My design is to be more light and translucent similar to a cloud.
