Shelter for Mothers + E.A.C.
Houston, TX
Studio 601 - Rice University Professor Mark Wamble Fall 2023
Located on the current site of the Emergency Aid Coalition, within the Museum District of Houston, TX, the shelter for single mothers is designed to provide temporary housing, mental and physical healthcare, dining, and childcare services. The Emergency Aid Coalition currently does an outstanding job of serving the homeless of the area as well as families in need, though they have outgrown their facility and are in need of larger storage and meal prep areas. The shelter would join their new facility on the currently unoccupied space on the rest of the city block, both programs contained in a singular envelope while maintaining a strict level of security needed to protect the women of children that require the shelter’s services. This envelope was developed within the studio following a structural study of the skin-on-frame kayak, a 4,000 year-old technology originally constructed with driftwood, seal skin, and sinew lashing.

Immigration museum
Buffalo Bayou, Houston, TX
Studio 503 - Rice University
Professor Carlos Jimenez Fall 2022
Immigration Museum Houston is a celebration of the history and influence of immigrants on the city of Houston. As the most diverse city in the United States, it is easy to see how much of an impact immigration has had on the city. Located on Buffalo Bayou, this project integrates itself into this unique landscape and provides gallery space, conference rooms, archives, a cafe, and two 150 seat auditoriums for lectures and screening films.

Climate House
Houston, TX
Tall Timbers - Rice University
Professor Jesús Vassallo
Fall 2022
This project is designed to be fully constructed with mass timber. The idea for the house was to be specifically catered to the Houston Climate. Typically Climate houses are made to insulate in winter and open up in summer. In Houston, the summer temperatures and humidity are the elements that the house must be insulated from. The winters, on the other hand, are nice and ideal weather for spending time outside comfortably. With this in mind, this project is designed to stay cool and shaded in the summer, and expand into the outdoors for the winter.

Mixed Use Haus
Houston, TX
Studio 502 - Rice University
Professor Mark Wamble Spring 2022
Taking inspiration from Herzog De Meuron’s Vitra Haus, this project attempt to use similar language of rotated extrusions and varying floor to ceiling heights. The ground level is dedicated to a mix of retail and manufacturing, originally intended for a small business that manufactures custom wax coats. The second and third levels have spaces for retail, restaurants, offices, and private practices. The last two floors are a collection of unique apartments. The glass caps at the end of each extrusion serve as a focal point for the space and to allow for reorientation amidst changing axes.
