COMMUNITY CENTER Located directly off of the Orange Line at Stony Brook Station, this site’s existence within a socially-divided community enforced the reasoning behind designing a community center. The approach for the design was influenced mainly by existing topography, strong connections between three main entry points, and a diverse list of programmatic requirements. Convergence, of population, ideas, and form, was a powerful concept that drove the design process. boston, ma \ jamaica plain fall studio 2014 prof. maria rolases \ ata

DWELLING Starting with a 10x10x10 mass, the objective of this project was to design in a subtractive way and discover what it meant to dwell. This dwelling contains interior spaces to gather, contemplate, and rest. The zigzagging vertical circulation climbs from east to west, terminating at the top of the mass. With the condition of having abutting masses, moments for capturing additional daylight were made. Materiality and the persistence of making played a crucial role during the design process. boston, ma summer studio 2015 prof. elizabeth ghiseline

URBAN YOUTH HOSTEL The design for the urban youth hostel embraced the notion of between and beyond, a condition that emerged from analysis of the surrounding site within Beacon Hill. Between was viewed as the constant repetition between row houses, at multiple scales (e.g. an alley, a road, or a park). Beyond referred to any phenomena occurring that one could not fully comprehend; sounds and smells were the most prominent examples. The objective of this project became combining the two. boston, ma / beacon hill summer studio 2015 prof. elizabeth ghiseline

04 boston, ma fall studio 2015 prof. aaron weinert The objective of this project was to discover the possibilities of daylighting a 2000 sf exhibit space. Designing a simple volume, paying close attention to the composition of wall panels and ceiling vaults, yielded great results. A series of photographs were taken to document the lighting conditions throughout the year.

FOLK ART MUSEUM The American Folk Art Museum by Tod Williams & Billie Tsien served as a precedent study. A thoughtfully designed museum that no longer exists had utilized its 40’ x 100’ site on 45 and 47 W 53rd st. Openings for daylighting, shifting of floor plates, rich materials, public/private organization, and folk art being part of the process were all qualities of this commendable project. manhattan, new york fall studio 2015 prof. aaron weinert

MUSEUM OF THE SENSES The museum provides the user with dynamic entry sequences, contemplative sensory spaces, interior/exterior social gathering areas, and an overall unique experience. The sensory spaces give the user time to reflect and encourage new discoveries. Vertical circulation exists between two solid planes, allowing the user to ascend to the sensory spaces, emerging from below. Public to private program is organized in a gradient from west to east, respectively, and the use of a perforated building skin emphasizes the public/private relationships throughout the museum. The overarching intent was to create a vertical sequence through centralized, sensory program that utilizes surrounding light & support space. boston, ma fall studio 2015 prof. aaron weinert

BU ART MUSEUM Given Albert Kahn’s Peter Fuller Building at 808 Commonwealth Ave as a canvas for design, the objective for this project is to renovate the ground level and supplement it with a new addition. These new and revitalized spaces will create the BU Art Museum. Understanding the surrounding context was a critical factor during the conceptual phase. The site’s location at an intersection where layers of circulation and activity exist inspired the direction for design. Utilizing what the building already has to offer, there was an increasing desire to link external site forces through internal phenomena. Exposing movement and creating a holistic system of paths throughout the interior became a driving force behind the form and function of the museum . brookline, ma spring studio 2016 prof. thomas lesko

NH RESIDENCE I was hired as the sole designer for a residential project in Dover, New Hampshire. Challenges of an existing footprint, cost, time, and additional variables made this an exciting first commission. Making design decisions, meeting with professional builders and engineers, and producing sufficient construction documents to obtain a building permit were all rewarding experiences during this real world application. The only components that stood on this site before the design were three main foundation walls and a concrete slab. dover, nh summer 2014 freelance
