  • Hover House

    Independent Exploration. The Hover House was inspired by my Mother’s recent move to Niseko, a resort in Japan that attracts many skiers during the winter. In this type of climate, the building must function during varying seasonal environments. During the winter, you get snow levels that would enclose a typical house.  A typical residence will…

  • Live | Work Residence

    Independent Exploration. The Live | Work Residence is designed to address the growing need for work space at home. It recognizes the need for a cohesive, yet detached, workspace. The workspace has a street presence that can accommodate business needs such as customers, clients, shipping and receiving. Meanwhile, the rest of the residence has a level of…

  • Hillside Residence

    Independent Exploration. The Hillside Residence is a residence that takes advantage of its unique site by simultaneously giving and taking from its site. Its physical presence is diluted by the many views that permeate through it. Its transparency is designed to dilute its existence within the landscape. A bedroom and studio are intentionally detached to encourage circulation…

  • One Day House

    Independent Exploration. I refer to this as the One Day House, because it was more like an individual design charette. I spent one day putting together the program, one day designing the building, one day modeling, one day rendering, and one day on an animation. Hence the name One Day House. Needless to say, there are some…

  • 135 & Park

    Independent Exploration. The Gallery on 135th & Park is the first of a series of independent projects I created to continue to develop and explore architectural design. My goal was to create, develop, design, and present a theoretical project of my choice every few weeks as time allows. I chose a theoretical site and program to…

  • Miami Art Museum

    Architectural Thesis. The Miami Art Museum is my Architectural thesis from the University of Oregon. I spent a few days in Miami with my colleagues, visiting our site and museums, meeting with members of the community, and indulging in what life in Miami entails. This project was a challenge in the sense that it was a…

  • 100 W Tower

    Design Studio. The 100 W Tower is a mixed use building located in Eugene, Oregon, across the street from the Eugene Public Library. The program consists of a commercial level, hotel, and condominiums. This project was a challenge due to the verticality of the program, and its dominant presence in a city like Eugene. An effort…

  • Culinary School

    Design Studio. Culinary School is one of my earliest projects I worked on at the University of Oregon. Unfortunately, this was prior to all of my work getting stolen (still bitter about it), and what you see is what I was able to salvage. The program consisted of a school run restaurant, as well as cooking…

  • Process

    Sketch book. Much like any creative process, architectural design is really endless hours of less glamorous work. I draw inspiration from all faces of life regardless of how relevant they may seem. Some obvious sources include art forms, nature, products, and people, but by no means are they predetermined or defined. Because architecture is three-dimensional,…

  • Models

    Physical models. This is a small collection of study models I used during the design process while at the University of Oregon.
