Role : Senior Project Architect
Perched atop a hill on Lake Austin - this multifamily project takes advantage of the superior views towards Lake Austin and downtown. The individual buildings are sprawled across the project site to create several opportunities for indoor/outdoor connections along the naturally hilly terrain. The Upper Clubhouse - my main focus on the project, is the largest amenity building at the top corner of the site, with a built in inclined elevator to take residents down 400’ to the Lake Clubhouse below.
The amenities and on site services are managed by the Four Seasons Hotel.

The first phase of a larger master plan of the Riverfront neighborhood, this project is being developed along side 3 other residential and hotel buildings. Sited along the position of the Anacostia and Potomac, the project aims to create a truly “Washingtonian” streetscape using design elements of scale, proportion, materiality, and context to create an encaptivating public realm. The river view has also provided the inspiration for the facade above the public plazas and corso.

M St Residential, at the intersection between Navy Yard and SW DC, acts as a gateway into a transitioning neighborhood. Currently in Schematic Design & Entitlements phase, the facade design is inspired by the industrial hopper window. The hopper windows appear in the overall grid as angled balconies within the facade, creating variety and interest along the streetwall. The towers, hyphens, and pavilion buildings create individualized facade designs using the same kit of parts, to humanize the scale of the overall project with the surrounding context.

A mixed-use development in heart of downtown Bethesda, this corporate campus and hotel project establishes a walkable ground presence along Wisconsin Avenue, connecting the Bethesda Metro and the adjacent retail/residential developments along Woodmont and Norfolk Avenues.
The program includes a vertical, integrated corporate campus, a flagship hotel connected by an urban plaza atop a subterranean parking podium. Office floor plates were designed for interior office planning flexibility. The office building podium is organized to allow for several different amenity programs ranging from fitness center and childcare to a cafeteria facility.
Wisconsin Avenue
The corporate campus entrance and amenities are focused to create an activated street presence along Wisconsin Avenue, which is a busy pedestrian and vehicular thoroughfare towards the Metro and downtown Washington DC.
Thank you.
