GreenHaus Mixed Use Development
01
GreenHaus Mixed-Use Development The proposed project is to transform a local grocery store into a mixed use complex (Residential, Retail, and Social Space), while still maintaining or repurposing the structural bay in environmental and efficiency efforts. In the midst of ushering in of this new age, millenials are at the forefront of this movement. The millenial mentality is one of fast paced lives and short attention spans. A generation of individuals that grew up in a time with little to no technology and had to adapt to a rapid changing world of integrating technologies and technological advances. This site development is geared towards disrupting the integration of technology into everyday life. This is done by setting the retail and residential acting as pillars of technology, and a set of social spaces with little to no technology incorperating old world traditions, disrupting the technology rich spaces on either ends of the complex.

The Social Space (Urban Farm and Restaurant) Being that this site is in the middle of a neighborhood that is prone to obesity, the social space development is focused on providing a healthy food alternative while stimulating a community involvement throughout the mixed use complex. The urban farm/ farmers market is an innitiative to encourage the community to take part in vending events and to contribute to the community farm. The restaurant uses fresh produce from the urban farm area to make healthy foods. In addition to selling healthy foods, the restaurant also incorperates an electric delivery vehicle hub in the back. This delivery hub is to provide a service of delivering healthy meals to the neighborhood, for those who are not able to leave their house.

Color Selection Color Reasoning
The monochromatic wood tones gradient from area to area according to the use. The darker the wood tone, the lower the ceiling gets to focus on a more intimate dining experience while the lighter tones are tied to higher ceilings. Incorporating the red fabric throughout the space creates a more dynamiic atmosphere and to promote impulse buys from consumers.
Bar Area Furniture
Dining Area Furniture
The bar area has the highest ceiling to give a spacious feeling for socializing. It has a screen wall made of steel pipes that are also used throughout the site for crop irrigation. An industrial farm scheme is kept throughout the space with the exposed structure and simple hanging lightbulbs. These fixtures also hang lower above seating areas to provide a seeming drop in the ceiling.
Bar Area
The dining area has the lowest ceiling to give a intimate feeling for one on one dining. This intimate dining area features the darkest wood tones for a warmer and cozier setting. The communal dining area is next to that. This features long tables to promote interaction between individuals and larger groups. This area’s ceiling height is higher to allow a more spacious feeling throughout. Next to the dining areas there is a weaving cork wall panel to help with the acoustics of conversations. Dining Area

Patchwork (Neighborhood Resourced Retail) This retail is located in a hispanic and low income neighborhood in San Antonio, Texas. The incorperation of this aspect is for consumers to bring in their own clothes to make something new and to their preferance. Hybrid clothing is a design with mixtures of different fabrics that would not normally be seen collaborating. These hybrid designs will save resources, as consumers bring in their own, and the unique designs will also serve as exclusive items that can be sold for more profit. The catering towards the surrounding neighborhood s essential to provide aid to those in need, and it also serves as a resource base, intellectual and physical, for the development of the area in further years to come.

Tension Ceramic Exhibition
07
Tension Ceramic Exhibition in Italy The proposed project is to develop a temporary outdoor exhibition space for two piazzas in Urbino, Italy to display local ceramics, with low impact the historical site. By using photogrammetry to map a 3D model of the historical site, an accurate and custom solution can be designed while establishing a resource base of 3D models. By extruding architectural forms found in surrounding buildings, a roof system will be created to respond to the environment while providing a customizable system that echoes the past. The display systems are made to resemble the forms created from the historical extrusions in an abstract manner. These displays are also angled to stack upon each other for ease of transport and storage. With these interconnecting systems of roof and display, the exhibit can be customized to respond to historical sites while blending with the modern.

Tributaries Rooftop Spa
09
Tributaries Rooftop Spa The proposed project is to design a rooftop spa in New Braunfels, Texas. It is located at the top of a residential multi story building situated near the Comal River. The tributary spa takes the form of a connection of tributaries in the ultimate ideal of tying all elements of life including people and nature together through the importance of the river. This spa is located near the comal river and the importance of that location is to be emphasized in different representation of the river. We are all connected in some fashion; the network that holds society together is a notion emphasized with day to day interactions. These interactions are also emphasized throughout the design, as pools and natural materials are integrated to symbolize the carving and connection of water.

2. Structure The structure for the rooftop spa is made of steel and is designed to be at two levels: the treatment and amenity level, and the waiting area. This is to provide a uniform basis for the building while showcasing an open waiting room to integrate visibility of the surrounding environment. 3. Outdoor Areas These areas include: cantilever pool, poolside lounge, lounge areas, fire pit, garden, waterfall, and a cantilever yoga studio. Most of these areas are covered by linear shade structures that resemble abstracted tributaries.

Rotations Public Pavilion
13
Rotations Pavilion (In collaboration with Gabriela Perez) The proposed project is to introduce a pavilion within the park directly in front of the San Antonio zoo to act as a place of community and integrate another aspect of gathering in the vicinity of the zoo and the Japanese tea gardens. The design is a loose interpretation of pinwheels as they rotate along the central axis, perpetuating motion surrounding them when utilized. This notion is embodied by the two intersecting rotations that encourage movement and interactiion. This project utilizes the possibilities of parametric design as it is created by establishing a module that is replicated along a shape. This process results in the replecated pattern creating the previoulsy designed form as they adapt to the contours of the form.

Work Sample Community Facility
Community Facilities (Redline Architecture) The proposed project was a new construction of a company retreat facility to replace the exiting facilities on the property. The facility will be used to host trainings and company retreats in an air conditioned area while also being able to tie into the natural setting through the use of natural materials and operable vertical glass doors for the opportunity to open up the entire facilities to the outdoors. The facilities will be located in a small forest that runs along the Rio Grande river and will accomodate multiple company and community events.
