Architecture as Mass: A Language of Human Experience
The architect understands architecture through mass as its most fundamental language, where everything beyond it becomes noise. By reducing architecture to its most raw and essential form, simplicity is achieved and clarity emerges. Mass defines space, presence, and meaning, allowing architecture to be experienced without distraction. The architect seeks to create moments that resonate on a human level, moments that allow the built environment to codify and express the human experience through form, weight, and spatial intensity rather than ornament or excess.

ESSENTIAL SERVICE BUILDING
EAST HARLEM, NEW YORK
Lexington Ave
The fire station is reimagined as a civic connector that extends beyond its traditional role, becoming an active urban element within East Harlem. Organized into two volumes separated by a central public path, the building links 123rd Street to nearby landmarks while enhancing operational clarity and promoting visibility, circulation, and community engagement.

STITCHING THE CITY
The project began as a fire station but evolved into something more civic. By splitting the program into two volumes and opening a public path between them, the design creates a space for people to pass through, pause, and connect. The building becomes a visible, welcoming presence that supports both safety and everyday community life.

Symmetria: Folding Form Between Intimacy and Community
Symmetria is a high-performance ADU that explores intimacy and collectivity through a subtle fold in form, creating a shared, light-filled core between the main house and garden. The front aligns with the neighborhood grid through a reinterpreted gable, while the rear shifts to engage the primary residence and more secluded site conditions, balancing private interiors with activated outdoor space.

Section as Spatial Hierarchy and Performance
The downward-sloped gable roof shapes space through section, establishing a clear areas, while lower ceilings support more intimate spaces for rest. The building dense-packed cellulose insulation and continuous insulation to achieve strong thermal
clear hierarchy between social and private zones—higher ceilings create open, welcoming envelope reinforces this strategy through a high-efficiency wall assembly that uses thermal performance with reduced embodied energy.
INTENTIONAL DESIGN
Symmetria shows how a small building holds the same design depth as a larger project. The compact ADU pushes the design to stay clear and intentional, where geometry, light, and spatial relationships become more noticeable. Every choice matters, from materials to window placement. The project shows that good architecture depends less on size and more on thoughtful decisions and careful design.

Lightweight Prefabrication and Site-Sensitive Construction
The construction strategy explores a lightweight prefabricated system that minimizes site impact while maintaining high environmental performance. Developed as an insulated glass volume assembled off-site, the cabin preserves the sensitive shoreline landscape, while a cedar slat screen, green roof, and continuous birch plywood interiors reinforce a crafted, environmentally responsive design.

TYPE SITE
Elevation highlighting a warm mix of natural stone panels, vertical slats, and a linear fireplace, creating a strong focal point that adds depth and character to the space.
Interstitial Column Garden
The greenery design occupies the spaces between structural columns, transforming leftover structural zones into usable landscape areas within the mixed-use residential skyscraper. Curved planting forms wrap around the column bases, introducing a softer, organic geometry that contrasts with the rigid structural grid. This intervention brings natural elements into the tower, improving environmental quality and creating small shared moments of greenery that enhance the daily experience of residents while reinforcing a more human-scaled, livable environment.
The mailroom table is built as a durable custom millwork piece, featuring a solid base filled with decorative stone and slender vertical metal rods that form a sculptural screen. A sturdy, smooth-finished tabletop provides a functional surface designed to withstand daily use in a high-traffic residential setting.

MATERIAL-DRIVEN DESIGN
The biggest challenge in this design was selecting materials that could balance durability, warmth, and visual cohesion across the space. Careful coordination of stone, wood, and soft textures shaped the character of the lounge, creating a comfortable environment for gathering and relaxation with a refined residential feel.
