TRANSCENDENCE
The Trifecta of Movement
Typology: Transportation Hub & Mixed-Use
Location: Long Island City, New York
Year: 2023-2024
VISION
Long Island City (LIC) in New York City holds untapped potential to become a major destination. The Sunnyside Nexus project aims to reimagine transit infrastructure to enhance urban vitality and socio-economic growth.
The project addresses urban connectivity and community engagement by improving the flow between various transportation modes, considering the implications of building a deck over Sunnyside Yard, and exploring innovative transit solutions. It also plans for future expansion and the complexities of creating a vertiport.
Emphasizing sustainability, the project leverages renewable energy and prioritizes economic growth to foster community resilience. Sunnyside Yard’s strategic location amidst major transport arteries provides unparalleled connectivity, with a phased master plan allowing for gradual evolution and adaptation to airspace regulations.
The design integrates multiple transport stations tailored to specific modes, creating a dynamic interplay of space and movement. The Sunnyside Nexus project aims to serve LIC’s immediate needs while anticipating future demands, catalyzing economic growth, and transforming LIC into a vibrant urban center.

Affordable Green Living
Typology: Affordable Housing
Location: Tucson, Arizona
Year: 2023
VISION
Situated in Downtown Tucson, Arizona, this project showcases a mid-rise apartment complex spanning eight stories. The design prioritizes the well-being of residents by incorporating green architecture, dedicated communal spaces, and opportunities for social interaction
With a total of 78 rooms, 60% of the units are designated as affordable housing, addressing the local community’s housing needs while fostering a sustainable and health-conscious living environment.
Every room recieves daylight year-round, optimizing the promotion of horticultural therapy, an oppertunity available to every resident.

RAISING THE BAR
Preserving The Past, Building The Future
Typology: Educational & Research Facility
Location: Tucson, AZ
Year: 2023-2024
VISION
Steam Pump Ranch in Oro Valley is rejuvenated by the Canada Del Oro River and Catalina Mountains. The 16-acre site thrives through Historical Society events. Building westward integrates the site, creating a subgrade space for public engagement.
LOWERING THE BAR
Topography manipulation forms a bioswale with “The Oasis” pond for water storage, supporting diverse vegetation and mental health. Design decisions prioritize well-being with open workspaces and natural connections.
Aiming for carbon neutrality, the site uses passive strategies like evaporative cooling and active strategies like solar panels, making Steam Pump Ranch a sustainable and historically preserved icon.

Harboring Resiliance
From Harbor Town to Resiliant Community
Typology:
Location: Oakland, California
Year: 2024
VISION
Oakland, California, has a rich history as a key trade and transportation hub, shaped by the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad and the development of the Oakland Harbor. This legacy continues to define the city’s identity, blending historic landmarks with modern developments.
Despite its vibrant cultural scene, Oakland faces significant challenges, particularly homelessness driven by rising housing costs and economic disparities. Tent encampments highlight the urgent need for effective solutions.
The master plan aims to align with Oakland’s dual identity as a resilient community and an industrial harbor town. Adaptive urban design techniques promote flexibility and sustainability, with modular shipping containers moved to inland parks to avoid flooding, and coastal areas equipped with durable materials like shading structures and art installations.
This plan honors Oakland’s history while addressing current challenges, fostering a dynamic, inclusive community that reflects the city’s spirit and resilience.
1820s-1830s: Oakland was initially inhabited by the Ohlone people. Spanish explorers and missionaries soon arrived
1856: The first pier in Oakland, known as Long Wharf, was built.
1927: The Port of Oakland was officially established
1868: Union Pacific railroads allowed transportation of goods to the Oakland waterfront.
LOCATION
Obtaining shipping containers for repurposing into housing in Oakland is facilitated by the city’s extensive harbor port, ensuring convenient access to a steady supply of containers. The thriving port infrastructure not only streamlines the logistics but also aligns with Oakland’s innovative approach to sustainable urban development through the adaptive reuse of shipping containers. 2023
CLIMATE
Oakland’s favorable weather, characterized by mild tempera tures and limited extremes, pro vides an advantageous environ ment for repurposing shipping containers as affordable hous ing.
HILL HOUSE
A Fusion of Technology and Design
Typology:
Location: Tucson, Arizona
Year: 2024
VISION
Hill House, situated on Sentinal Peak in Tucson, Arizona, reimagines architectural fabrication by drawing inspiration from aerospace engineering. Utilizing prefabricated shells made of S-Glass, a composite material with an oaky texture, the project explores innovative structural and thermal elements. This approach grants the architect meticulous control over openings and structural features.
The design’s programmatic layout is intricately linked to the opacity of the S-Glass threading, where spaces allowing more light embrace a public nature, contrasting with tightly woven, private areas. Supported by a concrete core, the house features expansive overhangs made possible by the lightweight yet robust nature of the composite material, enhancing aesthetics and functionality.
