Revit - addition to an existing Philadelphia row-home
This is a Revit project that I did in construction class. My clients have an existing property on Pine Street in Philadelphia and they’ve asked you to build an addition to their row home. They are looking for an addition reflective of a new sensibility in the design of urban townhouses. Modern materials and open space planning will be used for the addition. 1

TENDENCY - a fire station (modeled and designed in REVIT)
This is a Revit group project. My partner was Troy Lacombe. The intention was to play with three massing blocks to divide different programs and utilize the intersection of three blocks to create inter-active spaces for firemen. TEAM 06

other design studio works
TASTE OF WINE - a winery, gallery and restaurant This building is intended to be a prospective project on the Chateau Ste Michelle site. My intention was to apply the beauty of wine bottles into the building design.
REPEATING FRAME - a collaboration of experimental film artist Spaces are excavated from volumes that are created from repeating frame. Frames are fixed, however the spaces are changing throughout the day. Just like the process of film making, combining steady frames together will create moving scenes.
CONNECTION - discovery park field lab This is a design invention on water-bluff edge conditions fund at Discovery Park. The task was to design a field lab for Seattle high school science students that will be used year round for environmental study.
ADAPTIVE REUSE - bringing art into neighborhoods Grids and squares have always been structured or shaped in artists and architects’ life. For artists, sometimes grids are their limitations and sometimes they are artists’ windows for new ideas. As Art Spaces, the design plays between standardized units and order, trying to show different possibilities that grid can bring and articulates the tension between freedom and order. Eventually, this grid system will grow into the city spaces as art pieces that can pass the concept of freedom and order to publics. Perspective Perspective
