Design Statement:
ARCHITECTURE, n. /är-k-t-k-ch-r/, is the soul to a building’s body. It is the art of designing spaces using conceptual ideas for the well being of people and their functional needs. Architecture must endure the environmental over time through durable materials, sustainable design, and energy efficiency. Architects are the coordinators that gather all the professions of construction into one cohesive unit.
COMPLEMENTARY architecture:
is the idea of taking two or more contrasting elements that have a natural affinity with each other and when combined, not only do they create an aesthetic complement but a conceptual idea as well. Alone these elements have good qualities when building but when combined in complement to one another, these elements enhance and emphasis each other’s qualities to become something great.

01 Aviation Museum
Meadowlands- East Rutherford, NJ Historical Center for Flight
The Meadowlands Commission Center and the New Jersey Aviation Hall of Fame & Museum came together to propose a project that involved rehabilitating an old trash baler building in the Meadowlands into the new Aviation Hall of Fame & Museum. The project required massive space to place large scale planes inside the museum from early aviation to today’s commercial planes. The building should contain passive strategies along with a new structural and envelope system to thermally insulate the building. This project will focus on the concept of flight and the feeling of ascending through the clouds.

Project Solution: The concept behind the building is to stimulate the human interaction and experience throughout the museum. To take the visitor “through time” from early aviation to modern space flight. As the visitor walks through the building they will be faced with may choices of direction, but when they rise vertically new views will be granted and limited by the hanging cable structure as if they were rising through a dense fog system. As they ascend upwards from the catwalks to the highest level, they will be rewarded with an experience through the cloud layer and they will feel as if they are walking on the clouds due to the repetitive structural trusses below. This momentous achievement is the hall of fame exhibit where the visitor will have their own experience with each plaque hanging form the ceiling.

02 Apartment / Hotel
Financial District- Newark, NJ
Master M aster Planning and Urban Development The project first begun as a master planning strategy for a new design for downtown Newark near the Prudential Center. The master plan incorporated the ideas of 24/7 activity zones through late night active programs such as bars, with a mix of low income, market rate, and high rise apartment housing. The proposed master plan was to create a bridge between the financial district and the Ironbound areas through a major bridge and iconic gateway towers. As the winning master plan for the studio year, this master plan was chosen and parcel projects were distributed with program requirements. This project evokes parcel C which required a 7+ story apartment building with a hotel as the iconic gateway tower. Street-front retail was also a necessity along with office space.
13
view from northeast
Project Solution: The design of the building was based of the aqua tower hotel design in Chicago by emphasizing the floor plates and extending them beyond the facade and give a more horizontal element to the building. Then by mimicking the horizontal planes and creating vertical slicing planes for the hotel tower so that its conceptual design differs from the rest of the building. With the natural shape given by the parcel C master plan, the concept of an amphitheater was integrated into the design so that at night or day performances would constantly keep the area 24/7 active and thus improving a safer environment. A well lite main axis path is tangent to the southern side of the building where most of the activity would be contained within the site. This main axis would lead the user from the Ironbound into the financial district and to the Prudential Center Arena. amphitheater section

night rendering of amphitheater space
Apartment Solution: In order to design an efficient multi-story housing building, first the apartment unit itself must be optimally designed. The design began by thinking about the exterior daylighting and considering the optimal shape for maximum daylighting to enter the rooms. So naturally the living room and bedrooms would extend along the facades of the exterior. Next, working inward, the layer for the hallway would act as the transportation between spaces. Lastly, areas that do not require as much lighting would be the most inward such as private bathrooms, storage, and the kitchen. By designing a buffer cavity, wet wall, between the main hallway to each apartment unit allowed for some units to push and pull the facade without compromising the efficiency of the spaces. one bedroom apartment

03 59 Godwin Avenue
Habitat for Humanity- Paterson, NJ
Prototype Design Competition As the award winning design for the Habitat for Humanity Paterson Prototype Design Competition, this project was selected for further development into construction documents and is currently under construction. This design featured a 3 story split-level floor plan with a double height space in the center of the building to make the house feel more spacious. The 2,500 sq ft building contained 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a living room, kitchen, den, basement and garage.
19
kitchen rendering
Project Solution: By starting with a split-level design, the length of stair run was able to be shortened thus allowing for spaces to become double-height zones that make the home feel more spacious. With the addition of the solar chimney in the core of the house, additional lighting would be able to penetrate the center of the home, thus illuminating it and saving energy costs. Through Ecotect analysis, by creating a double-stud exterior wall system, the thermal envelope insulation is increased dramatically, while saving costs. The front deck was added to create a porch-like feeling, which is a necessity to most urban living, that the garage feature took away from the ground floor.

04 47 Godwin Avenue
Habitat for Humanity- Paterson, NJ Prototype Design Competition
As the second house in the series of the Habitat for Humanity Paterson design competition, 47 Godwin Avenue displays similar attributes to 59 Godwin only the big difference is the width of the lot. While 59 Godwin was a 25 foot lot 47 Godwin is a 40 foot wide lot that required on site parking. The house remained at the size of 2,500 sq ft as per the idea of the prototype design and features a split-level concept. The reason is to allow for a double height solar chimney space to illuminate the center core of the home. This idea was created to maximize space in such a small affordable home.
25
kitchen design
Project Solution: By sticking to the prototype design, 47 Godwin utilizes a split-level design that emphasizes maximizing space and creating an open floor plans. This is possible through the TJI trusses that open the plan and distribute the loads to the exterior walls and allow for non-load bearing sculptural walls as shown in the rendering. The front porch is ideal for any urban housing project and the railing is a custom made design that would be unique to each prototype house. The solar chimney concept allows light to enter the core of the home thus making the home well illuminated passively. The solar chimney would also collect heat as it rises and the HRV unit would distribute the heat back into the central air system. first place model design

Green design As shown in the renderings there is always a “green� element in the prototype habitat design. Inside the homes there is a green wall constructed from the ELT Easy Green wall product. The idea is to add some natural elements to the interior of the home so that there is a fresh scent and a visual aesthetic to each new home. As per the design, each prototype home would have their own unique railing system that gives the home their own identity. This that there would be a planter trowel built at the top of the railing for plants and vines to grow. As time passes the home will become more integrated with nature and begin at add more green to the street front.

Prototype design In the plans shown on the right, the prototype design calls for the living room to be located at the southern end of the home for maximum lighting and having the split level design allows for a quick entry from the side door to the kitchen for groceries.

The second floor splits the back half of the home for the children bedrooms keeping them away from the street front as the future owners requested. The master bedroom has it’s own master bath and at the top level of the home giving it the most privacy.

Habitat for Humanity- Paterson, NJ Prototype Design Competition
This prototype challenge was to design a two-family home on a corner lot next to an abandoned home, that would be restored later, while keeping within the constraints of habitat for humanity’s budget and following ADA compliance. On-site parking must be sufficient for 5 spots including a handicap parking. This project focuses on the aspect of ADA by keeping most of the essential house program on the ground floor.
31
Project Solution: The main obstacle of the project was to comply with ADA for the lower unit. In order to do this the house needed to be accessible from the front and back of the house and all the programmatic needs of a person needed to be accessible on the first floor. In turn the kitchen, ADA bedroom and bathroom, living room and dining room are on the ground floor. Elevated as a partial second floor is the remaining two bedrooms for Unit A. Unit B is a two bedroom apartment with the kitchen, living room, half bathroom and dinning room on the second floor. With the high sloped roof the third floor bedrooms contain a high ceiling design with dormers to allow light in. stacking diagram
