Heightened sought to continue the various urban fabrics existing around the site. By combining the Mission Main and Alice Taylor developments, the residential area formed. The commercial corner retains the existing commercial area and creates additional space to support additional small businesses. Finally, maintaining the Southwest Corridor’s connection was vital, as it provides connection, green space within the city, and is a symbol of public power.

Currently, Wentworth is constructing a field on our site and we were asked to retain the field in our designs. After many iterations of testing field locations, we reached a solution of elevating the field above the train tracks. This enabled Southwest Corridor connection, residential continuity, and the creation of space below for additional programs. t. th S i m S

Site Plan This master plan, across from Roxbury Crossing T-Station and adjacent to Southwest Corridor Park, aims to integrate with the Alice Taylor apartments by mimicking the existing landscape in its design. It features strategically placed openings and pathways, surrounding residential buildings with open spaces. Elevated walkways expand the public area, providing abundant amenities across various levels and large open spaces for recreational activities. The project encompasses over 700,000 square feet of housing with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.2, reflecting its high-density design.

GRADUATE HOUSING ADDING SUBTRACTION Spring 2022 Studio | Prof. Timothy Love | Individual Work Software: Rhino 7, Adobe Suite, AutoCAD
This graduate housing project focused on analyzing the surrounding population and building typologies, asking us to adapt them into new forms.

Typical Module By integrating a combination of typical housing typologies found in Boston, (point-access, triple-decker, and the six family housing styles) this project adopts a pointaccess circulation core with single and multistory apartments ranging from 2-4 bed rooms. This range allows for high density housing while still providing a comfortable living arrangement for smaller and larger families.

The ground floor features four two bedroom apartments. The first floor mimics the ground floor but this time with a shared amenity along with access to the third floor splitting the floor into two sides. As the paths divide, four lofts can be found. Of which two are three bedroom apartments and the other two are four bedroom apartments. Every apartment has a porch to encourage connection to the public realm.
21
Axonometric By placing modules next to each other, a rhythm of solid and void forms mirroring the buildings to the north. In addition to the modules, unique forms were made for the buildings located at the intersection to better signify the transition into the site, along with exploring addition manifestations of the established design language.
22
Public Treating the public realm as something to not be touched, left to be manipulated by the user is to ask a child to pick a toy. It wants something, but it doesn’t know how to act upon the desires. Through the subtraction, this project aims to blur the line between private and public by placing them next to each other, allowing for individuals in both to desire experiences in the other.
Semi-Public The semi-public realm is the first transition point from public to private. It allows for those within the private realm to retreat to safety while providing the public a space to inhabit as well. Building a semi-public space with promotes privacy and public use elevates a design.
23
Semi-Private The secondary transition point is the semi-private realm. Here we find private amenities, corridors within buildings, and an additional opportunity for community. This design funnels all foot traffic to a central space, stimulating interaction, conflict, and tension. This tension is released through interaction in the amenity spaces, or through the semi-public space below.
Section Perspective
Private Privacy is something we have grown so accustomed to. The ability to close the door and enter your own world is truly magical. Thus, it is important to retain privacy for users. The excitement in the private realm stems from the thrill when placing the private and public so close together. The question is, how close can the two get?
High Density Privacy View from balcony facing inwards towards the heart of the building. Despite the close proximity, everyone is capable of achieving privacy.
Solid & Void Facade Street view displaying how the darkened areas provide subconscious reassurance of an enclosed room, despite being face to face with the public realm.

Connection to NEU View from southern tip of site. The collision of the public and private creates exciting opportunities for evolution and innovation in the meaning of both realms.

Urban Translation & Site Plan Nexus serves both to provide amenities and simulate activity. Nexus begins by drawing visual attention, inviting the public to cross the highway via an elevated public scape. The elevated plain leads directly into the heart of the structure, where programs not located in the Chinatown area can be found. Finally to cement Nexus in Boston’s landscape, the marshland below has been transformed into a dynamic green space, continuing the Green-way and providing malleable areas for the local population.

DETAILING AND STANDARDIZING PROFESSIONAL WORK July - Dec 2022 & July - Aug 2023 | Companies: PM Group & VBC Softwares: AutoCAD, Revit, BIM360, Adobe Suite, Microsoft Office
During internships at PM Group and Volumetric Building Companies, I created revit details for deliverables packages, automated population of details, tagging and scheduling, aided the creation of BIM execution plans, standardized graphic styles, and maintained model health of multiple projects in Revit.
37
Technical Detailing PM Group is an international project delivery company that specializes in high-tech facilities. This exposed me to highly technical and specific areas that can be found at the intersection between architecture and engineering. Here I was tasked with overhauling the graphic standards that will be uses in all future projects. I would go into project files, learn about the project and then draw, with the correct graphic standards, details which would be saved in the working file along within a standard detail database. This involved coordinating with the BIM, Design Operations, Design Technology team, architecture, and engineering teams. I learned and understood what I was detailing, while at the same time getting a grasp on the management component of design.

Modular Detailing VBC is the leading modular architecture firm. I aided in the development of the future design pipeline which involved creating standardized components for apartments that could be put together into floor plans, quickly and easily creating entire layouts in a matter of minutes. As part of the design technology team, my involvement was on the coordination side where I was given the 3D models in revit, and from here I standardized dimensions, layouts, tagging, and views within models to automatically tag elements, reflect the tag in schedules, and populate sheets featuring plans and elevations.

GREEN
LEEDING ARCHITECTS TO THE FUTURE Fall 2022 - Present | Research
GREEN is an web-based LEED calculator, meant to bridge the gap found between the average architect and the USGBC’s LEED Certification qualifications. Instead of waiting until late in the process, GREEN enables architects to see in real time what factors to consider and how to achieve/improve a building’s LEED certification rating.

MARKET POTENTIAL The architecture industry is calling more and more for sustainable design. Currently the USGBC’s LEED is the leading metric for a building’s sustainability. Year after year we see more and more projects achieving LEED certification in cities around the world. With the recent developments in Environmental Activism, along with the many incentives to do so, more and more corporations will be improving the efficiency and sustainability of both their processes and the places they work.
“Hotel construction is expected to grow at 9.5%, Industrial construction is expected to grow at 15%, & all institutional construction segments (health, education, public safety, amusement, and recreation) are expected to see healthy growth” - Manhattan Construction AIA Forecast
“LEED BD+C registered projects increased from 1,732 projects in 2017 to 3,349 projects in 2021. That’s a jump of 93%” - LEED 2022 Data Trends
