stand 5’3’’ above the ground, but you will always find me with my head in the clouds, always dreaming, often spacing out. On weekends, you will probably find me in the kitchen experimenting on a new dish or dessert with music blasting in the background, and me singing at the top of my lungs. I would trade any meal for a slice of cake because can never find a balance between too little and too much sweets, but that will never stop me from having them anyway.
By the age of 7, I already knew that I wanted to be an architect, and that dream continues to fuel my ambitions and aspirations to this day. Throughout my life as an architecture student, I have learned more than I thought ever could. Not merely about form or program, but the massive role and responsibility of architecture in the way it integrates all functions of life and affects the way humans live and experience space.The impact architecture can make and its ability to create change continues to

Seattle Affordable Housing
01
THE CRESCENT
Seattle’s homeless crisis has been increasing and evolving throughout the years with its roots running deep: touching racial inequality, economic disparity and poverty, rising housing and living costs and thus a lack of affordable housing, mental health issues and addiction, and the lack of services for the youth. Due to social stigma and the lack of opportunities, people born into poverty face extremely difficult challenges in trying to integrate themselves into society, which makes it even harder for them to escape the vicious cycle of homelessness.
Set in the year 2070, the project aims to aid Seattle’s homeless in the transition back into society to provide them (particularly women and their children) permanent housing and services to help reintegrate, rehabilitate, and give them opportunities for success in four ways: livingcondition, overall health, way of life, and connection to the community. Through the services within the building’s program and the opportunity to heal and rehabilitate, it is the project’s mission to house these people in dignified placeswherein they have the possibility of growing and turning from “helpless” to “hopeful.”

FACADE
Using Accoya Wood Panels, an operable facade was chosen for the building’s skin to offer control and flexibility to the users of the building. The panels are used as a curtain wall with an aluminum panelled rainscreen wall system behind it for sufficient waterproofing.
Determined after careful analysis of occupancy and accessibility of both residents and visitors.

Residents have control over the amount of sunlight, glare, and privacy their unit receives. Through the use of steel, curved beams and girders, as well as cantilevered floors are

VIVIENTE
LA
With the intent of putting the concept of ‘community’ at the center, the building was designed to have community spaces dispersed throughout the building floors, each having direct access to outdoor rooftop space. The building is a mix of predominantly 2-bedroom units, with the goal of catering towards larger family sizes.
LA VIVIENTE
To provide quality affordable housing for marginalized and systemically-underserved community members of San Francisco’s Mission District while fostering a sense of belonging by creating opportunities for the interaction and activaion of spaces, with the goal of encouraging community.

FACADE
Taking inspiration from the site’s context, the facade was developed with the intent to pay tribute to the Mission’s urban fabric, culture, past, and present by means of expression using select materials and facade system(s).
The north elevation shows a series of stepping, allowing for a smooth transition between the site’s small scale residential neighborhood and the building’s high density, large scale. Its window system also follows a more regular patern, referring to the buildings in the distant North West.
The west eleavation steps downward, following the topographic nature of the site. This also helps the building seem less massive and grants the courtyard access to daylight from the south. This facade system follows a more random window pattern, referring to the variation in scale of the surrounding residential buildings.

03 THE PAPILLION Detroit Maggie’s Center
With the intent of offering a generous space to those who feel as though they’ve lost it in Detroit, the building was designed to create pockets of open outdoor spaces to foster meaningful exchange with nature, to provide intuitive circulation and understandable program organization, and to offer a variety of flexible and occupiable spaces for different activities.
Because cancer patients deal with a lot of anxiety, grief, and hardship, the building aims to represent the five forms of healing through its organization of program. Each wing of the center serves a different purpose — all converging in the heart of the building: the central living room.With the intent of minimizing the amount of walls, the building’s form independently creates divisions for the separation of program without the need for wall partitions.

L.A. SOCIAL HOUSING
Due to California’s attractive assets such as its temperate climate and range of job opportunities, L.A. has become a destination for both travel and migration. With this, the demand for more housing continues to rise along with property value. As more buildings and services are provided for this rising population, L.A. gets more and more urbanized and this poses several problems in terms of space, environment, and housing availability. The goal of this project is to create an inclusive, open, affordable, and environmentally integrated community that gives occupants a balance of public, private, and outdoor space.
UNIT PLAN AND AXO
Through the offset of the apartments and by introducing irregularity within its regular form, not only is private outdoor s pace provided for every unit, but each one gets sufficient daylight and access to the environment as well.

05 TUMBLE Play Furniture
The childlike mind is a curious one: one that needs to stimulated, challenged, and be given the freedom to explore. Created to inspire a child’s creativity and merge the concepts of school and play, the Tumble is both an educational table and chair, and a piece of play furniture ---- one that can rock back and forth, be flipped over to climb on, and be crawled under to hide away from. The Tumble breaks the mold of the definition of traditional learning, and turns it into “learning by play.”
