Chapel A nondenominational house of peace located within the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood of Philadelphia. The project’s design emphasizes a journey of light, water, and path, reinforced by the motifs of rest, rinse, and reflect. Through this, each phase of the journey guides users through three distinct sensory experiences.

An abstract case study of Mackay-Lyons Sweetapple’s Two Hulls house. This project seeks to emphasize the relationship between cantilever and foundation through materiality and form.
The Offshore Center for Environmental Analysis An underwater facility located in the middle of the Atlantic, off of the coast of Puerto Rico. In a group collaboration between two studio sections, our predominantly model-based project aims to create a structure to facilitate long-term offshore research to investigate water quality and pollution, analyze deep sea flora and fauna, and conduct a thorough mapping of the ocean floor.

Union Sited on East 1st Street adjacent to Bethlehem’s Steel Stacks, the intention of this design is to provide a dedicated space for a diverse group of students and young professionals associated with the performing arts. Built upon once decaying industrial ruins, the design takes advantage of structure to create a greater street presence, and accentuate the experience of performance spaces.

Photography
Through an analog photography class, I was able to familiarize myself with a 35 mm camera and explore concepts such as composition, scale, framed views, and light through a medium outside an architectural studio.
