SOLAR GALLERY Academic - Spring 2019 The intention of the Solar Gallery Project is to create planar and volumetric subtractions, while not losing the cube’s integrity. The volumetric subtractions purposefully alter the interior and exterior design of the gallery. There are three required planar subtractions that are intended to allow light to specificallly target the artwork in the gallery space. The three planar subtractions are for the winter solstice, equinox, and summer solctice.

HILLSIDE GALLERY Academic - Fall 2019 The Hillside Gallery is a study of the manipulation of planar walls to create meaningful spaces through their collision. The combination of solid and glass walls enclose the space from the elements, while allowing transparency to the outside for views and light to enter the space. The project is based on the Barcelona Pavillion by Mies Van Der Rohe, a building that succesfully exhibits the qualities intended from this project. The Hillside Gallery consists of two gallery spaces, one serving as the main gallery space and other as a more intimate space. There is also a long transitional space and a private office for the gallery’s employees.

NEWPORT BEACH HOUSE Academic - Fall 2019 The project was developed after a case study of Daniel Libeskind’s 18.36.54. House and Bundeswehr Military History Museum. The objective of the project was to emulate Libeskind’s projects in how he purposefully uses the mixture of different shapes and materials to accentuate importance and distinction in his buildings. The Newport Beach House is a mixed-use building that serves as both a house and a coffeeshop. The project consists of an orthagonal L shape that is collided by two polygonal structures that vary in material and solidness as well. The polygonal screen walls is an element used for the coffeeshop, living room, and master bedroom in order to define the importance of those spaces.

L.A. River Laboratory Academic - Fall 2021 The Laboratory Project is located on a hypothetical site that would be very similar to the site conditions of the L.A. River. The project’s intention is to join different building typologies into one functional building. The project contains an office building with a civic space at the bottom containing an entrance lobby, auditorium, and library. The project also consists of research labs that bridge across the site from the administration building. The design method for the administration building and Lab-D was influenced by breaking the sharp orthagonal lines created by the box shape of the research labs with curves, while maintaing a straight circulation that bridges across the whole site.

The Tempranillo Winery Academic - Fall 2021 Located in Temecula, CA, a well known area for wine production, the winery is intended to merge different fields of work into one location. The clients are three friends who want a space in which viticulture, business, and architectural experience can coexist and strive together. The Tempranillo Winery is the response to the client’s expectations through the use of planar composition. The intersection of walls and roofs are purposefully done to divide spaces and create efficient circulation through the project.
