Alton Rift Apartments The Alton Ri Apartment Complex is a mixed- income housing development. Located on the waterfront at 300 Alton Road, the program dictates a four to six ra o of luxury apartments to low income housing respec vely. Taking the form of a stepped pyramid, the luxury units feature ocean front terraces and a tall ceiling height while the low income housing looks out into the city with a more regular facade. On either side of the building, perfora ons of varying size form the various public spaces accessible by all residents and connected by sky bridges. As the two buildings come closer together, the roof top pool and garden would serve to brings together all the residents of the community.

Mikveh Emmanuell Scriptorium
Documentation and adaptive reuse
As a part of an ini a ve by the school, we documented the Mikveh Emmanuell Synagogue in Curacao through tradi onal survey techniques and drone imagery as shown on the le . A er which I designed the Mikevh Emmanuell Scriptorium in the surrounding buildings owned by the Synagogue as an adap ve reuse interven on to benefit the members of the congrega on. Borrowing from the tradi on of Biblical transcrip ons, the scriptorium is a space for Jewish people around the world to come and transcribe the Torah as mandated by Judaic law. The facili es aims to contribute to the religion as a whole and through which raises the religious prominence of this synagogue.
ULI Hines 2019: Green Pulse Redevelopment Green Pulse is an environmentally sustainable, wellness-oriented development project on the south side of downtown Cincinna . Extending on the bank of the Ohio River, the project aims to provide a green, healthy, ac ve-living zone; a fusion of the essence of sports and sustainability that is framed between the US Bank Arena, Great American Ballpark and Paul Brown Stadium. The project is a cultural hub that integrates the exis ng sports infrastructure, a growing music scene, and a chain of public parks and green spaces–all further enhanced through the introduc on of health and wellness facili es.
