DESIGN SUMMARY
As a junior in the Bachelor of Science in Architecture program at the University of Michigan, my education has been grounded in a rigorous design curriculum that emphasizes both conceptual depth and technical precision. Studio courses challenge us to approach architecture as a mode of inquiry, using abstraction, diagramming, and iterative making to observe relationships between form, space, material, and context. We are encouraged to observe patterns, analyze systems, and develop designs through critical questioning and experimentation. Through this process, architecture becomes a response to site and program as well as a framework for exploring spatial relationships and social conditions.

Architectural Design II (UG2)
This project began with an investigation into the representation and manipulation of topography by proposing changes to accomodate one tennis court and two half-basketball courts. The initial phase focused on learning to accurately draw landforms using contour conventions, developing an understanding of how terrain is communicated in two dimensions. From this drawing, I constructed both digital and physical models of the site, allowing me to study how proposed alterations translate from plan into three-dimensional space. Through this process, the exercise emphasized not only technical precision in drafting, but also a deeper awareness of how landform interventions reshape spatial and environmental conditions.
After constructing sletch models of the site exploring a variety of configurations, I created a scaled model using chip board to demonstrate the proposed changes to the topography. To accomodate the tennis and basketball courts, I used the existing landform to generate subtle spatial divisions between them. The natural amphitheater-like slope in the northeast portion of the site became an organizing feature; it shapes the primary entry sequence and houses the outhouse as a framed threshold element.

Architectural Design I (UG1)
This project began with the analysis of a precedent house and the development of an abstract model that communicates its underlying spatial logic. Rather than replicating the building’s formal appearance, the assignment encouraged us to distill and reinterpret the relationships we observed. We were challenged to think abstractly, isolating the essential organizational ideas that give the house coherence. The goal was not to reproduce the precedent, but to translate its spatial and formal strategies into a clear conceptual construct that conveys an idea independent of literal form.
Precedent Study
My assigned precedent, the Newtown House in Kyoto, Japan by Yukawa Design Lab, is organized around three conceptual components: the “parents’ house,” the “kids’ house,” and the shared “everyone’s house.” My analysis of drawings and sketch models explore how this relationship between two solid forms and a connecting void can be expressed through abstract form.

My final bristol model abstracts the spatial logic of the Newtown House through two slightly varied solid masses that intertwine in a near yin-yang relationship. A carved void cuts between them, acting as both a connector and separator. This void is not simply leftover space; it takes on its own distinct form, shaped by the tension of the solids that define it.

Architectural Design I (UG1)
Building on my analytical study of the Newtown House, this project asked us to reinterpret its spatial relationships within a new, abstracted site through the design of a single-family home.
Rather than replicating formal qualities, I translated the underlying organizational logic, the interplay between two distinct volumes and a unifying void, into a new architectural system.
My approach builds on the idea of ‘three parts’ both horizontally and vertically. The house is organized around a central void that acts as a spatial hinge, while split levels on either side differentiate program and establish subtle gradations of privacy. These sectional shifts allow spaces to remain visually connected while physically separated, reinforcing relationships between family members without collapsing boundaries. The void becomes the experiential core of the home: a vertical and horizontal connector that mediates light, circulation, and sightlines.
Section 2
A scale model was developed alongside drawings to study massing, sectional relationships, and the central void while examining how the volume engages with the surrounding buildings.
