NORTH LITTLE ROCK SPORTS & LEISURE COMPLEX
4TH YEAR INTEGRATED DESIGN STUDIO
NORTH LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS
FALL 2024
The Grove, a state-of-the-art sports and leisure complex located along the Arkansas River in North Little Rock, is designed around the concept of a tree, symbolizing growth, connection, and wellness. Inspired by the lack of greenery along this stretch of the river, the complex seeks to restore nature to the area, with its design bringing lush vegetation and native Arkansas trees back to the landscape. At its core lies a vibrant courtyard filled with these trees, creating an inviting space that draws visitors in and fosters a sense of community. The structure itself mirrors the anatomy of a tree—the central “trunk” serves as the hub, housing shared amenities and connecting the “branches,” which extend into specialized areas for fitness, recreation, and wellness. From multi-purpose courts and yoga studios to walking trails and meditation spaces, every element is designed with WELL standards to promote whole health through natural light, clean air, and sustainable materials. The Grove reimagines the riverfront as a thriving, green oasis where physical activity, mental well-being, and social connection flourish in harmony with nature.

MAR VISTA NEIGHBORHOOD
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
FALL 2023
Translucent Oasis, located in the 1950s Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles, addresses the housing crisis by creatively maximizing site use while fostering a sense of community. The project adds a 4-bedroom, 4.5bath unit to the existing structure, offering flexibility for a growing family or use as a multi-tenant rental, and introduces two additional units strategically positioned at the front and back of the lot. These units, home to the Johnson family, the retiring Smith couple, and the newlywed Scott couple, are centered around a shared courtyard designed as the heart of the development. Key features include a conversation pit that invites neighbors to connect, angled windows to enhance privacy while framing courtyard views, and a community garden that encourages collaboration and outdoor activity. This thoughtful, sustainable design blends private and communal living, creating a modern, people-focused environment where neighbors can thrive.
