01 TRANSCENDENCE
In the vibrant landscape of New York City, Long Island City (LIC) stands as a pivotal hub, yet its potential remains largely untapped. As the adjacent boroughs grapple with congestion and gentrification, LIC holds the promise of becoming not just a pass-through point but a destination in its own right. The Sunnyside Nexus project seeks to address this dual challenge by reimagining transit infrastructure as a catalyst for urban vitality and socio-economic growth.
At its core, the project confronts pressing questions of urban connectivity and community engagement. How can we streamline the logistical flow between various modes of transportation without sacrificing simplicity? What are the implications, both positive and negative, of constructing over Sunnyside Yard? What innovative transit solutions can serve the diverse needs of LIC’s residents and workforce? How can the hub be designed to accommodate future expansion seamlessly? And perhaps most intriguingly, how do we navigate the complexities of creating a vertiport in an airspace devoid of current regulations?
Drawing on a theoretical framework that emphasizes the trifecta of movement through space, human comfort, wind harvesting, and adaptability to future technologies, the project envisions a transport hub that transcends mere functionality. It embraces sustainability as a guiding principle, leveraging renewable energy sources and prioritizing economic growth as a means to foster community resilience
The selection of Sunnyside Yard as the site for this transformative endeavor is deliberate. Positioned amidst existing transport arteries—Amtrak, Subway Line 7, Queens Blvd, and the Queensborough Bridge—it offers unparalleled connectivity. Moreover, the phased nature of the master plan to deck over Sunnyside Yard allows for a gradual evolution, affording time for airspace regulations to mature and adapt to emerging needs.
In pursuit of our goals—functionality, sustainability, and efficiency—the project proposes a spatial and systemic ordering that embraces complexity while maintaining clarity. Multiple transport stations, each tailored to the specific requirements of its mode, are woven together across different ground planes, creating a dynamic interplay of space and movement.
The intended outcomes of the Sunnyside Nexus project is to demonstrate the feasibility of a transportation nexus that not only serves the immediate needs of LIC but also anticipates and adapts to its evolving demands. By catalyzing an economic boom, the project aims to provide the financial impetus for the expansion of LIC over Sunnyside Yard, unlocking its full potential as a dynamic urban center.

Manhattan’s renown extends beyond its cultural, artistic, and economic hubs; it also stands out for its demographic density. As the most densely populated county in the US, Manhattan boasts the highest daytime-to-nighttime population ratio nationwide
Community Amenity: The park should serve as a substantial open-space amenity for both the proposed development and the existing adjacent community.
Access: Public access points should be available from multiple locations along the park’s perimeter to ensure ease of entry for all.
Programming: Alongside traditional park features like Lou Lodati Park, “Sunnyside Common” should prioritize community-centric amenities such as recreation courts, community gardens, water features, horticultural display gardens, and various comfortable seating options
Social Lawn: A spacious and adaptable social lawn is essential to accommodate both formal and informal gatherings, including picnics, sunbathing, and community events.
Plantings: The park should boast a diverse array of flora to offer shade and seasonal interest, with consideration given to incorporating areas for community gardens.

Long Island City offers ideal con
ditions for wind power harvesting due to its strategic location along the East River, where strong and consistent winds flow. Additionally, its open spaces and relatively low urban density provide ample room for the installation of wind turbines without significant obstructions.

03 The Bar
Situated in Oro Valley, Steam Pump Ranch is rejuvenated amidst the Canada Del Oro River and Catalina Mountains. The 16acre site, with underutilized structures, thrives through weekly events by The Historical Society. To preserve its history, building westward integrates the site effectively, creating a subgrade space for public engagement.
The manipulation of topography, besides addressing runoff concerns, forms a bioswale, featuring “The Oasis” pond for water storage. Abundant water fosters diverse vegetation, positively impacting mental health. Design decisions prioritize well-being, incorporating open workspaces, tall ceilings, visual connections to nature, and integration with natural systems.
The architectural intervention aims for carbon neutrality, employing six passive (e.g., evaporative cooling) and four active strategies (e.g., solar panels). This holistic approach ensures Steam Pump Ranch stands as a sustainable icon, preserving history while embracing environmentally conscious design in Oro Valley.

05 Hill House
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 both aesthetics and functionality.
