FUTURECRAFT FUN-HOUSE
For this project I designed an experimental fun-house with an Escher-esque organization constructed using a set of three modules. These modules have different organizational definitions which are determined by their location in the top, middle or bottom section of the cluster.

CAFE, GALLERY AND STUDIO TOWER

The goal for this project was to explore steel structural modification as well as analyzing the “alcove� spaces made by the modification of forms. The light weight frames of the buildings is done so that there is a social clarity between the three forms and the cafe is made to be a social filter between the private studio tower and the more public art gallery.

ROPPONGI ART TRIANGLE GALLERY

The goal for this project was to design an Art gallery in the center of the Roppongi Art Triangle, a popular nightlife art district, in a way that compliments the art residing inside. The large sculptural form creates a large portal opening on the north face that acts as a canvas for large installation type art.

RODMAN ROW-HOUSE
The Rodman street row-house was an introductory project to the construction and stylistic elements that fabricate rowhome design. The idea was to create a dual sided row-home sandwiched in between the South and Rodman streets of Philadelphia. One side a Bookstore and Music Store/Venue and the other a Residential housing for the owners of its constituent store.

FRANKLIN PARK TWIN BATH PAVILLIONS
The Franklin Park bath pavilions is an experimental projects that was designed to create and harbor the privacy of the parks occupants while maintaining a beautiful monolithic form that draws the eye. The design takes advantage of the interaction between the two buildings to hide their entrances while still creating a definition for the entry point by converging the corners of the sculptural edges of the exterior walls.
