DISTORTED 50 JAMES STREET FACADE Spring 2014
Design Partner: Sara Kowal Professor: Julianne Gola-Papa
This project explored distortion of conventional facade.The large glass window acts as a sun cathcher and still serves the original function of a bay window; seeing all angles of the street. The facade came to be from gradually twisting the bay window that is located on the facade to its left. The result was based on its viewing capability as well as its ability to catch the most

MEDIATING MAINSTREET BOONTON FIRE STATION Spring 2014
Professor: Julianne Gola-Papa Design Partners: Studio of 15 people
On the corner of Main Street and West Main Street in Boonton, New Jersey, there exists a moment of programattic and conceptual contemporary, business, civil, residential, and functional faces of Boonton are all present. The design this corner seeks to act as a mediator between the colliding forces in the community. While continuing to embrace the contrasts between program and concept. Historically, Boonton’s residents

by way of a bell.When this bell sounded, volunteers would gather their equipement and defend the town, while townspeople would rush to the bell to hear of the current events. With the inclusion of a new bell tower, the project also seeks to restore the Fire House’s deep relationship with the community as a public forum, and a permeable community resource.

Great importance of this project was placed on making sure that the stairs functioned properly and are structurally sound. It was a great exercise for me to learn how to create construction drawings that were neat, legible, and most importantly, buildable.

09 NEWARK GRAD. 08HOUSING XYZ
Fall 2014
The building evolves from an xyz axis that creates a series of different orientations for the apartment units. As a result of the building layout, each apartment unit as well as each room in the building receives adequate ventilation and sunlight. I played around with the transparency of the glass to create a public, semi-public, or private environment in the rooms. Plants from the garden were pulled up to each floor to be incorporated in each terrace.

Summer 2014
Design Partners: Rachel H. Joyce T. Janet Y.
While working with the designers at Decorilla.com, I was able to create 3D renderings of design proposals for many clients. Additionally I created clean precise client’s unique space. Along with the previous three items I helped prepare mood boards and shopping lists for each and every client.
