Drawing the Curtain Advanced Architectural Design Studio 2015 Boston, MA Influenced by its location in Boston’s Theater District, this residential high rise takes form by embodying the drawing of a curtain. The primary, street facing façade mimics a curtain opening to create vistas for residents towards desirable views of downtown and the harbor. Vertical, angled fins enhance the facade to give the exterior a similar texture to folds in a curtain. The secondary façade, restricted by the alley, is composed of a double skin system with angled members between to create the curtain texture in a flat composition.

Internship Archetype Architects Portland, ME The following pages show work I produced during my internship with Archetype Architects. The renderings were done using Revit to 3D model the project and combined with Photoshop to produce images for marketing and the clients. Also shown are a couple samples of construction documents I worked on, which ranged from floor plans, elevations, safety plans, structural sections, and detail drawings. (The overall design for the projects and buildings were done by the firm Principals and Project Architects).
