Bazinga Gallery Design This project focuses on new tools for visual communication and representation as well as new methodologies for design systems on abstract and conceptual level. This gallery is inspired by Surrealism paintings, in order to create a surreal space as if it is from my dreams. It combines futuristic forms and rough materials as the main feature to achieve surreal atmosphere.

Office Project This is an office project for an advertising agency, located in the iconic Seagram Building. The structure and luminous ceiling around the window are the icons of the building which need to be preserved. Bamboo scroll is the inspiration to create a friendly and functional work environment. It is also juxtaposed with the rigid existing material and structure. Scroll has been used as a communication medium for transmitting information since ancient times which is the same function as today’s advertisement. The action of unfurling walls to delineate movable and flexible places for a collaborative openoffice has been incorporated in the space.

Over the Rhine Community Center
Building Section
Reconstruction is the rebuilding of a person, place, thing, or idea. It is the reconstruction of all four of these elements that drives the design of the OTR Construct building. The OTR Construct will aid the Over-the-Rhine district in rebuilding its community according to the needs of the client. Its juxtaposition of uses, such as an education center, family center, temporary residential housing, and rentable corporate office space, is designed to rebuild the district. By equipping the people of the town with a place to learn, play, and work, they are able to bond together as a community.

This project also focused on achieving LEED certification. Materials, furniture, finishes, and aspects of the building were chosen with sustainability at the forefront. The lounge area, enveloped by the wood dome structure, was the focal point of the community center. The wood used to create the dome was a regional, post-consumer recycled material. The window above the lounge area and around the cafe space allowed for natural light to permeate the space. This lessened the need for artificial lighting, which saved energy. Overall, the building achieved LEED silver certification. Medium: AutoCAD, 3Ds Max, Photoshop

Pediatric Center The main idea of this project is to immediately and easily catch the children’s vision and help them to forget their anxiety. Ocean is the design concept of the space, which utilizes playful colors and forms. The open space is created to counter act the norm of a cold sterile hospital environment many are used to. Abstract ocean walls with illustrations of various creatures not only create narrative space which for children to ease their anxiety, but also create a conversation between doctors and children.

Canopy Installation To design a private space and a small sharing space in a public lounge area is the goal of this project. The inspiration for this canopy came from a hat. A hat is a personal item that creates an invisible boundary between private and public when one wears it. The exaggerated hats are designed to create private moments when one is under it.

Trophies are the focal point within the sorority house living room. They indicate the client’s pride. The client wanted a creative, welcoming and functional space with the trophies for encouraging young students. The composition of circles and lines creates a dynamic movement on the static wall to lighten the trophies. Students spend their time in the friendly atmosphere created by the warm colors.
