Design process from an up and coming hotel that's in the works! These early sketches explore how the future project responds to existing site conditions, while establishing the direction of the atmosphere we want to create. These sketches are then transformed into a physical 3D model to further test and confirm the design is successfully fulfilling our project goals and design intentions.

Reimagining the City: Wilton Manors is a competition proposal that envisions a new mixed-use complex and community center for the city.

The center of the site creates a new public plaza that features green spaces, water ponds, and ample seating, allowing for various public activities. Pedestrian and vehicular internal passages are provided at ground level to allow for fluid circulation through and around the block. By lifting the east portion of the building and leaving the west side of the site open, the new pedestrian plaza becomes a connector between Hagen Park to the east and Jay Cee’s Park to the West.

By concentrating the building mass on the north and south edges of the site, the project is integrated into the existing fabric of the city, complementing the nearby scales and uses.

Located in the Tarpon River Entertainment and Design District (TREDD), TREDD Southwest was conceived as a local response to evolving urban living patterns. The project introduces a new housing initiative aimed at increasing density within an existing residential block.

TREDD Southwest envisions a mid- to high-rise residential building comprising a mix of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, accompanied with commercial spaces at the ground floor. These residences share a curated set of amenities, fostering a cohesive living environment where flexibility, community, and lifestyle integration are aligned with contemporary“work-living” concepts.

This project supports a more vibrant, walkable, and connected urban environment where principles of compact and efficient living reinforce the character of the neighborhood.

Koupela University, recognized by AIA Fort Lauderdale, is a comprehensive master plan that aims to enhance social and educational experiences in Burkina Faso.

The campus is organized around a super grid system with two main intersecting axes. This grid system ensures efficient circulation between buildings and defines the location of future facilities. The singular boulevard that leads to the roundabout eliminated vehicular traffic from the campus center, creating a pedestrian-centric environment where students and visitors can move freely.

The sawtooth roofs collect rainwater, reducing reliance on municipal water, while locally sourced materials such as stone, wood, and aluminum promote environmental responsibility.
