Nenana Sauna House

Nenana Sauna House is located in a cold Alaskan town. It serves as a sauna house and rest stop for truckers and travelers using energy and warmth gained from burning the abundance local spruce trees. It’s designed to be sinked underground to utilize the ground as a natural and efficient insulation at a place with extremely cold climate.

Cyclist Camping Ground

This is a mini project that focus on providing a bike repair shop and camping ground for long distance cyclists and giving a mini park next to the train track that passes through SLO. My design goal is to bring out the elongated view of the train track by providing a long walk/bicycle lane and an elevated view for the camper.
