In today’s rapidly changing world, adaptable and accommodating architecture is essential for better, healthier living. Many architects are devising intelligent solutions that render their work more flexible and considerate toward their current and future users. Housing is a crucial part of architecture as it provides shelter, a basic human need. In urban areas, addressing the housing problem is urgent and complicated.
The primary objective of the Land of Cedars project is to improve the living conditions of vertical housing community by providing a better, cleaner environment. The project’s goal is to create a space that includes a vertical garden and improves the skyline of Cincinnati, making it more eco-friendly for its residents. This design aspect will act as an area of reflection and will allowing people to connect with nature and with one another.
GREEN ROOF
The project is aimed at redefining living spaces in the housing industry. It allows residents to be more creative by providing each apartnment with a designated workspace. The towers design ensures that every home has an open space, allowing access to a shared courtyard and collective terraces.This promotes social and professional interactions among residents while encouraging a return to a more harmonious lifestyle with the environment. The towers’ inclusive green corridor is envisioned to provide a better future for the residents of Cincinnati.

project aimed to create a sustainable and space. The design goal was to improve between the courtyards, ensuring abundant airflow in the area. The unit modules to align with the climate and facilitate flow. A terrace garden system was also to enhance the living and walking experience.
A beautiful day to be near the box window...
Would you like to take a walk on the terrace? The flowers have bloomed at the top.
Look at the color of the sky; it’s so orange and soothing.
“Architecture that provides care and a space that connects with the city’s skyline.”

Hey Sam, could you please take Cooper for a walk in the corridor?
Could someone please open the window? I want to feel the cool breeze! That was an amazing stretch. Nice weather!
“Meow... Same here!”
I love to spend time in the common balcony space and chill.
“The building should not be designed solely based on its function but also on the physical needs and capabilities of its inhabitants.”
MODELING
The entire skyline site model was created using a 3D printer to sustainably showcase the existing and future city skyline. The primary building model was crafted from wooden sheets. The primary aim was to highlight the creation of a green corridor by developing green designs.
HEDGEROW CITY
location: Covington, Kentucky
type: urban studio: teamwork
my role: project management / concept design / project design and structure design sections / illustrations programs: rhino, illustrator, photoshop, enscape, lumion
year: 2023 (summer)
- open garage space provided for public - green house for community farming - stepped amphitheatre
The project aims to develop a comprehensive plan for the city of Covington that extends beyond its usual scope of control. This plan will be tested in a specific area to demonstrate its potential for broader urban development. The proposed zoning changes will transform the former industrial warehouses near the waterfront into a mixed residential zone.
This shift will significantly increase the neighborhood’s population and have a profound impact on its character. The studio will analyze and design an urban environment for the new post-industrial waterfront.
The sizeable urban development is situated on the riverfront area between Cincinnati and Covington. The design focused on expanding the hedgerow pattern by cutting the river edges and giving it vibrant green edges that step into the river.
FACING THE WEST 4TH STREET, COVINGTON
- commercial space facing the 4th street
- open farmers market of hedge city
- restaurants and gathering spaces near the street
The green pergola-pitched system is used as a walkway leading to the Ohio River and for parties or small market events when not being used to unload warehouse loads to the storage space.
The commercial area is located at the edge of 4th Street, providing easy access for the general public. Each sector structure is highlighted with vibrant colors, giving it a unique identity.
The residential units are located on the two corner edges of the site to provide better access from all the streets and to give the apartments a semi-private space for the residents. Additionally, an open garden is provided at all the junctions.
The main highlight of the urban development is the watch tower, providing a panoramic view of Cincinnati and Kentucky from all sides, making it the main attraction of the site.
The Green House is located in the central core area for the residents to make it a valuable resource for cultivating vegetation and creating a farmers’ market. The main goal was to allocate zones for the residents to plant vegetation and crops for the local public. It helps create employment for women who cannot work because of household responsibilities and need to earn a living.
The area is open to the public and provides access to the waterfront through a series of steps. We aimed to create a stop that everyone can use and make it more lively. The large structure above the river has been cut to create a natural landscape and provide public access to the river.
Underneath the entire structure, parking spaces are provided for cars, and storage units for vegetables are even created.
The initial model served as the concept. The studio dedicated two conceptual model, focusing on creating for the whole site. The main idea was to have a linear arrangement cuts near the river to improve access
the basis for the entire site two months to creating a creating a unified concept idea and goal for the design arrangement of structures with some access for the public.

From a bird’s eye, we see a residential area with a playscape between the buildings. The playscape features fun hills perfect for skaters and cyclists. This lively space creates a vibrant area for the entire community to enjoy.

OPEN GREEN WALK WAY

The render shows a view from 4th Street, which is adjacent to the site. The design is done in a way that merges with the surrounding urban context. This view is from the edge of the junction near the proposed site.
