PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS

Gann Residence Faithful Flowers Michael Gann Residential Newton, MA Designer The Gann’s residence is going through a major renovation and wanted to give the landscape an update as well. They wanted to create a green folliage barrier to have privacy from the neighbors. As part of my work, I consulted with Steve Woods, a landscape designer, in the most appropiate plants and their arrangements in order to achieve the owner’s desired privacy.
Design Skills The designated planting area ended up being smaller than originally planned. It proved to be challenging selecting the plants and the installation of those, as well. I had to constantly consult and collaborate with my boss Faith Michaels and landscape architect Steve Woods, both shown on the picture to the right, for the proper design strategies. It required a lot of planning because the house was being renovated and there was a constant flow of people, ranging from interior designers, contractors, carpenters, and painters, to name a few.
Technical Skills The methods used to develope the desired language to present it to the client was CAD drawing and Photoshop. I used Photoshop in the preliminary stages to illustrate a conceptual arrangement of the plants. AutoCAD allowed me to do a more precise planning and arrangement of the planting beds. As previously mentioned, I collaborated with other professionals. This allowed me to understand the imporatnce of incorporating experts from other disciplines and listen to their advices.

Hanlon Residence Faithful Flowers Mitch Hanlon Residential Woban, MA Designer The client wanted to incorporate a terrace in the backyard, along with a seating area and a grilling area. Planting beds were to be surrounding the proposed new terrace. Also, Mr. Hanlon wanted to replace the existing trees from the outside beds, with the exception of a big tree that was there which I labeled in the plan as “existing tree�. Another concern of the owner was to feature and not hide the existing tree in the backyard. I made an opening in the seating wall that borders the terrace, which allows them to view and frame the tree from their living room.
Design Skills This project proved to be quite challenging because the client changed his mind frequently and wanted to see the changes in plans and renderings just as quick. I provided a series of iterations appealing to the different desires and concerns of the client. In order to keep up with the rapid changes and meet the demands, I worked on various iterations at the same time. This proved to be very stringent and time consuming but helped me to time manage and mutli task.
Technical Skills The graphics method employed in this project mas mainly SketchUp and Photoshop. I personally went to the property to take measurements and take notes of the property and initial meeting with the client. These are techniques that I used in previous instances, both in the professional and academic realms. 14

Campbell Residence Faithful Flowers John Campbell Residential Brookline, MA Designer This private residence was going through various renovations. The owners were fixing the interior of the house and wanted to redevelope the existing terrace and incorporate an unused space in their backyard. A series of flowing planting beds were designed to edge the circulation of the space, a pergola was inserted to accentuate the entrance to the terrace, and a fire pit was proposed in the unused space to bring some activity in the area.
Design Skills Contrary to previous projects, this one was essentially easier. The experience of working on the other projects made decision-making and design strategies much more efficient. The owners wanted to maintain an existin tree located in a corner of the terrace. Also, they wanted to maintain a planting bed adjacent to the house. I decided to accentuate that bed even more by making it wider and extending it towards an entrance of the house. There is an existing round water feature that we decided to uphold from the original design.

Detail/Intersection Gateway Project Marylin Moedinger & Jason Nieves Non-Profit Boston, MA Drafter/Designer
This project engages in construction details and drawing exercises, at the same time understanding how building systems work together while putting together drawing sets. It is primarily done in section and documentation of previous research. The drawing set is composed of three different parts: Part 1 is a set of fully annotated section details; Part 2 is a series of “forensic” drawings that explicitly illustrates how and why design decisions are made; and Part 3 is a series of “speculation” drawings that presents my proposal of a different system as an attempt to improve the current existing conditions.
Design Skills Periodically, I discussed my drawings with a civil engineer and principals from firms that visited for red lining sessions. These discussions allowed me to present my work to different professionals while engaging in dynamic conversations of building construction. As a result, I was able to further understand methods of construction and the importance of consulting with professionals from other discipline

Cable Car Project
I had the opportunity of working in this project in different phases. The fisrt summer of my internship, I mostly worked in the viability plan. My role was EMR Environmental Consultants Inc. to update the proposal, spell check documents, create charts on Microsoft Excel of costs and exCarlos Rosado pectations of the project for the community and the Size: 31,959 sf. municipality of Jayuya. I had to meet with my boss, Mr. Carlos Rosado, a few times during the week to Commercial figure out the numbers. The viability plan was done Jayuya, Puerto Rico by another person prior to my employment at the Updating viability plan and design firm, but had a serious change because I discovered various numbers that were miscalculated. I took development phase. the initiative of taking the AutoCAD location map plan and creating a tridimentional model to have a better understanding of the scale of the mountains, ridges, and valleys.
28
Designer Design Development Phase: re-design floor plans and design facades. During my second internship with the firm, I re-designed the floor plans of the stations. The preliminary design was a very conceptual CAD drawing of the spaces. Mr. Rosado allowed me to rearrange the spaces making them more efficient. I traced over the existing plans reconfiguring the spaces and with the collaboration of Mr. Rosado, a structural engineer, worked on establishing the structural grid. My role was limited to the Design Development of the project and the Construction Documents were assigned to the firm’s drafter. I created a tridimentional model to better understand the project and show preliminary views to Mr. Rosado.

31
Design elevations and redesign floor plans Design Development Phase: re-design floor plans and design facades. The source of inspiration towards the creation of the elevations originated from a very famous hacienda that dates from the 1700’s located in the same municipality. The hacienda is a traditional, gracefully simple island home build of wood, with a wide veranda and shuttered windows. Painted white with green trim, it is surrounded by gardens of tropical flowers and shaded by large fruit and flowering trees. Inside, the parlors are furnished with some quaility carved-wood pieces. I tried to maintain the character of the hacienda as similar as possible, except the materiality which the stations are made out of concrete.

I was contacted by Mr. Alfonso in regard with a residential project his company was going to take and provided me the opportunity to join the team. I met with the clients and showed them a series of sketches with ideas for the street exposed main facades of the home. It was challenging because in my short architectural experience at the moment, taught me to compromise design concepts due to budget constraints, meet expectations and satisfy the client.
35
As-Built Plans First Methodist Church JosĂŠ MuĂąoz Religious & Educational Location: Mayaguez, PR Measured and hand draw as-built plans. The top five students of a studio in the Inter American University were commissioned this project. We had to measure the abandoned facilities of a school. The entire group had the task of measuring and sketching the complex as part of our analysis. After the measuring phase concluded, each student had different roles of drawing the edifice. The client preferred the drawings to be hand drawn. Since this was early in my development as a designer, this provided me the ability to learn to do as-built drawings. It gave me a hands-on experience in the field to sketch, measure, hand draw, and directly taslk to the client. Also, it gave me the opportunity of learn about teamwork and working with others.

Syncretic architecture: difference, contact, and reconciliation This studio explores the concept of Syncretic Architecture by designing a building. The program for the building is a new terminal for the Regla Ferry and a marketplace. The location of the building is the waterfront just opposite The Church of Our Lady of Regla in Havana Harbor. Each solution to the design problem will propose a definition of syncretic architecture as it applies to Cuba, and it will show a set of building designs which use this definition as the term of criticism for the solution.
