C.B. MOORE RECREATION CENTER PHILADELPHIA, PA
Allegheny West is one of the poorest area in the city of Philadelphia. Revitalizing the neighborhood with the provision of a sustainable recreation center is the goal of this project. Early stages of researching deep into the existing building structure, indigenous natural resources, the demographic, and the advancement of sustainable technology become the key factors to design the appropriate recreation center for the community at large. 06

SOLAR PLAN DIAGRAM CONDUCTING SITE ANALYSIS is the essential first step to optimize the design strategies for C.B. Moore building. The Allegheny West neighborhood receives plenty of sunlight, with the prevailing winds coming from the northwest and southwest directions. The temperature ranges from 60F to 87 F on summer time, and 26F to 56F on winter time. Meanwhile, the neighborhood’s demographic can be categorized into residential area on the west, industrial area and train system toward the east and south, and a combination of mercantile and insitutional buildings on the north side.

MOUNTAIN LAUREL, the state flower of Philadelphia, is the design concept for C.B. Moore Recreation Center. This flower embodies significant awareness of the beauty that is found in Philadelphia’s natural environment. It inspires the conception of the center to embrace the idea of designing locally, as well as bringing the nature indoors. With these ideas in mind, the adaptive reuse design that is implemented in the recreation center will create an iconic sustainable building that is dear to the local community of Allegheny West in Philadelphia. THE EXTERIOR is highlighted with the application of butterfly rooftop. The angles of the roof help in catching the rainwater so that it will then enter the green house as a waterfall feature. Photovoltaic panels are also inserted on one side of the roof that will help in supporting the supply of electricity for the building. Meanwhile, the exterior walls repurpose the bricks from the old building and they are integrated with operable window systems that helps the natural ventilation throughout the interior spaces within the recreation center. 11

SOUTH - NORTH GREEN SECTION (WINTER TIME) THE GREEN SECTIONS help to study the natural phenomena that affect C.B Moore building structure, and utilize the information to implement sustainable design strategies that can support the activities inside. The sections show the angles at which the sunlight penetrate the building and the directions of the prevailing wind. From the information, strategic placements for shades and ventilation system can be implemented. Another important information from the green section deals with the relationships between the floors and how the green plumbing system can be installed. The recreation center will utilize two significant water system: the rainwater catchment and the Living Machine Technology. The latter water system recycles greywater and blackwater through a series of filtration system that utilizes bacteria living in the plants. After the final filtration and disinfection, clean water will be available to use for non-potable purposes, such as the toilets and irrigation. 15

THE BUZZ BOUTIQUE HOTEL SAN FRANCISCO, CA
The goal of this hospitality project is to experiment the possibility of extending a hotel’s function to be more than just a venue that offers individual comfort and relaxation. Inspired by the “societal” community of bees, the boutique hotel is crafted to give incentive to the guests so that they would engaged in activities outside their own rooms and interact with one another through communal spaces and public events. 20

CHALLENGING THE NORMAL CONVENTION of hospitality design becomes the center of this project. While it is customary to perceive a boutique hotel as an accommodation that guests commonly patron for its unique design, this project tries to extend the above understanding in conjuction with the community and its behavior. The project is situated in the Uptown Tenderloin Historical District of San Francisco, where people come from different backgrounds and social classes. Analogizing the unique behavior of the bee community, the main strategy for this hotel design is to spare more spaces for public functions versus the private ones so that more opportunities are available for the guests to interact with one another. The hotel’s structure consists of five floors and a basement. The basement and the first floor are fully dedicated for public functions that attempt to engage interactive participation by the patrons. The basement is a full-service spa and gym facilities where communal mineral bath and open gym studio classes are available for individual and/or group activities. The first floor will be the main entrance to the hotel with spacious seating area in the lobby area and also access to the hotel’s restaurant.

THE BEE COMMUNITY has always been known as social creatures. It is often employed as a model for human society due to the fact that they both share similar social traits. Bees and humans are designed to be social beings that need interactions with one another. They both are hardworking creatures that are constantly engaged in activities. Taking the bees as the role model, the concept for this hospitality design project will follow the bees’ characteristics and apply them within the human context. MAIN LOBBY

THE GUEST ROOM FLOORS start from the second all the way to the fifth floor. These rooms are laid out effectively on each floor so that they can still provide the guests with essential room amenities that a hotel should offer without compromising the comfort aspect. The strategy results in smaller room sizes, between 100 to 120 SF, and leaves large enough spaces to have centralized guest communal areas on every floors. Despite its compact sizes, the guest rooms still offer their own charms with the unique structural shape of bay window available in each rooms and the applications of custom furniture, making each rooms special for the guests.

TO CONVERGE means “to come together from different directions so as to eventually meet.” This verb inspires the conception of the coffee house. Emphasizing on the creation of an effective circulation flow, the space planning of the coffee house utilizes symmetrical pattern to divide the focal areas. This strategy naturally aids the customers to navigate their way to arrive/converge at the middle section of the coffee shop where all the sales activities occur. COFFEE SHOP FLOOR PLAN 32

ACADEMY OF ART PRESENTATION SPACE SAN FRANCISCO, CA
This project focuses on the lighting design of the presentation area in one of Academy of Art campuses. The existing structure allows plenty of natural light to brighten up the interior space. However, this natural light could at times become uncontrollable during presentation times, where projection screen is heavily utilized. An approach using suspended ceiling with special glass material helps in tackling the issue. 38

THE PRESENTATION SPACE at Academy of Art University has two ongoing problems. First, the space receives plenty of natural light from the windows and skylights that oftentimes creates visual distractions during presentation. Second, the high noise level in the presentation area due to the usage of portable walls throughout the campus and the opening that connects the two floors.

THE SUSPENDED CEILING is implemented to tackle both the lighting and acoustical issues in the presentation area. The first tier of the suspended ceiling is installed directly beneath each skylights to reduce the light’s intensity. The second tier has lighting installations that serves as task lighting as well as acoustical element that could help in reflecting the sound back within the presentation area at a faster rate. Both tiers are equipped with the liquid crystal glass material.

POINT OF VIEW is the design concept used for the Hewson residence. The penthouse’s location on the ninth and tenth floor of San Francisco’s Aronson building gives spectacular panoramic and aerial views that can be expressed differently by different individuals. This inspires the idea that each human has the capability to perceive things in various perspectives. The interpretation of this idea is through different geometrical shapes that “frame” the functionalities and detail aesthetic of the spaces within.

THE AFRICAN ART ELEMENTS help to accentuate the design of the penthouse. Refering back to the Hewsons’ proximity and familiarity with the African cultures, these exotic arts gives out characters and personalities of the owner into the interior spaces, especially in the private areas such as the study and entertainment rooms.
