A sustainable restaurant design for New York City RE(3) is an immersive dining experience in New York City whose goal which brings to attention to the global issue of pollution. Each meal is made from locally grown food, and any food waste created is intended to be recycled. The design was inspired by images of oil spills, which arise from our global dependence on fossil fuels. Beginning at the front of the restaurant, light finishes are used to mimic images of smog and pollution. At the back of the restaurant and continuing towards the bar area, finishes become darker, mimicking the thick, heavy qualities of oil.

A prototypical lounge design for the Schipol Airport
1st Place, 2014 IIDA NC Student Honor Awards The aim of this project was to design a prototypical lounge for the Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands while adopting the design aesthetics derived from the Dutch design firm Wiel Arets Architects. Addional constraints included incorporating a bar, sleeping area, and kitchen into the design. One of the main features of Porselein is the patterned exterior glass shell. The origin of the pattern derives from the traditional Delftware pottery which originates from the Netherlands. An image of of Delftware was desaturated and half toned, and tiled onto the exterior facade. In addition to acting as an ornamental piece, the patterned glass serves a functional purpose by shielding the sunlight during the day and providing privacy to the patrons inside.
Adopting the spatial nature of the designs of Wiel Arets Architects, walls and dividers are used minimally througout the lounge, creating more opportunities for interaction and communication between guests during a layover.

An innovative hotel design for Los Angeles
1st Place, 2013 IIDA NC Student Honor Awards As the new star of the Broadway District, this boutique hotel was designed to inhabit an underutilized, and previously run-down, 7-story retail space. The design of the hotel called for an innovative 3D-printed façade treatment that would be responsive to the solar orientation of the building in order to create comfortable and strikingly beautiful interior spaces. The concept for the Verspreiden Hotel was inspired by the microscopic view of a leaf. When examined microscopically, a plant’s leaf contains veins similar to those in the human body. As the design for the hotel developed, two corresponding concepts emerged through the exploration of the leaf vein patterns informing how light is distributed and views are shaped.
The site for the hotel was an awkward size of 26’ wide by 150’ in length. In order to achieve maximum natural daylight entering the space, the hotel was split into two towers, accessed by a series of ramps that spans between them. The ramps are a dominant feature of the design and are not meant to function merely as circulatory elements; they also became gathering spaces for people to cross paths between the two towers and to create vantage points from which to survey other people and activity.

A design for a 3D-printed curtain system Created in collaboration with Anyssa Binni, Glacies Crystallus is a design for a 3D-printed curtain system. The purpose of the curtain is to mitigate the thermal heat gain in a room, while also reducing the need for expensive heating and cooling systems, thus reducing pollution and greenhouse gases. Additonally, unlike a traditional window curtain, this 3D-printed system creates views to the outside as well as a beautiful dappled shadow play that shifts throughout the hours of the day and the different seasons.

A bathing experience inspired by Gordon Matta-Clark Sadalit, the Latvian term for “split” is a bath house located in the city of Liepaja, Latvia. The design of the bath house was drawn from the artwork of Gordon Matta Clark, a self proclaimed “anarchitect” known not for his built work, but rather his deconstruction of existing buildings. In the bath house, a series of cuts were made based on landmarks in the area such as Liepaja Beach. These cuts, in addition to creating views towards these landmarks, also dictated the spatial organization. In keeping with Clark’s style, original materials and finishes were preserved in the design.

Cuts and slices to the original building were made based on locations of landmarks in the area. In instances of bathing, such as in the 45 degree bath and the flower bath, cuts were made towards Liepaja beach. In doing so, a connection is created bewteen the ocean and the bathing process. In other areas, such as the massage room and restaurant, cuts were created to create viewports to other areas in the interior.
