HOTEL AND WINERY
CHATEAU DE VIGNE
SPRING 2025
SOFTWARE USED: REVIT, ENSCAPE, PHOTOSHOP, CANVA
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Château des Vignes will be a bespoke hotel and winery that will offer tours to guests. This hotel will offer luxury accommodations as well as amenities for guests or daytime visitors. The main building will include reception, a restaurant, bar, tasting room, museum, recreation area, and conference space. The winery itself will be its own separate building to keep any fermentation smells away from guest spaces. Each guest room will be a separate small building centered around the main reception building. This
ELEGANT BEAUTY
I envisioned Château des Vignes as a place of refined elegance and timeless sophistication. Every detail was chosen to feel luxurious without being overwhelming, soft, luminous colors, delicate ornamentation, and carefully curated furnishings that create a calm, graceful atmosphere. The goal was to evoke the grandeur of French palaces while maintaining a modern, approachable elegance that feels both lavish and welcoming.

TASTING ROOM
ELEGANCE, REIMAGINED, TIMELESS.
As a junior interior design major, this was my first time designing a winery hotel, and it was an exciting challenge. I enjoyed exploring how to combine hospitality, luxury, and wine culture into a cohesive experience. It pushed me to think about how spaces flow together, from the welcoming hotel rooms to the tasting areas, while maintaining a consistent, elegant aesthetic. Overall, it was a valuable opportunity to apply my design skills in a new and meaningful way.
REHABILITATION CENTER CYCLES OF RENEWAL
FALL 2025
SOFTWARE USED: REVIT, ENSCAPE, PHOTOSHOP, CANVA
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Women’s Recovery Center in Northeast Dallas is envisioned as a holistic facility rooted in the concept of Cycles of Renewal. Designed to support women battling substance use disorder (SUD), the center extends beyond traditional rehabilitation to provide therapy, childcare, wellness treatments, and lifeskills training. Each program is intentionally integrated to reflect the natural rhythms of renewal, growth, reflection, restoration, and empowerment, mirroring the stages of recovery.
The Women’s Rehabilitation & Recovery Center is envisioned as a sanctuary inspired by the seasons, where healing unfolds as an evolving journey of growth, reflection, renewal, and rest. Through a calm, light-filled, and nurturing environment, the center empowers women to feel safe, supported, and challenged as they grow into stronger, more confident versions of themselves.
MODERN FORM
The strong, modern interior framework was intentionally designed to house and protect a softer, more nurturing environment within. Clean lines and solid forms provide structure and stability, allowing gentle materials, warm tones, and fluid spaces to exist in contrast—symbolizing strength as the foundation that supports healing, comfort, and growth.
FRONT EXTERIOR
A NEW EXPERIENCE
Working with two architecture students was both challenging and incredibly rewarding, pushing collaboration, communication, and creative problem-solving. The experience strengthened the design through diverse perspectives and made the process as meaningful as the final outcome.
WORKING WITH CODES
Our team carefully coordinated building codes and occupancy requirements to ensure the design was both safe and functional across all program areas. Each space was analyzed and classified by occupancy type, with clear egress paths, stair placement, and vertical circulation strategically planned on both floors to meet code compliance while supporting the center’s therapeutic flow.

SECOND FLOOR
COMMUNITY CELEBRATION ROOM
Curved lines were intentionally used throughout the interior to soften the environment and create a sense of fluid movement and calm. These organic forms help reduce rigidity, promote emotional comfort, and guide users gently through the space, reinforcing the center’s focus on healing and restoration.
OUTPATIENT CLASSROOM
OUTPATIENT STAFF OFFICE
For this project, I lead the design and space planning for the Outpatient portion of the building. I had to account for both patient and administrative needs. Designing administrative spaces, therapy rooms, and family gathering spaces like the community celebration room pictured on the left.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
This project involves designing a 5,000-square-foot residence in Bethesda, Maryland for Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov and his adult daughter. The home must feel high-end and luxurious, with timeless features that add long-term value and support frequent entertaining. Key requests include a large kitchen, a garden, and a screening room for hosting friends.
The design draws inspiration from classic Russian culture and literature, using dark wood, red accents, and warm tones to create a sophisticated, inviting atmosphere. With layered lighting and elegant finishes, the residence will feel both professional and cozy, reflecting the depth and mood of Russian novels while remaining suitable for resale.

PENCIL AND MARKER STUDY
I did a small marker and pencil study to quickly explore the space’s layout and lighting. It helped me test materials, refine proportions, and capture the overall mood before moving into design.
DECO CONDO
While working on a studio project during Fall 2023, I made this market rendering of the main entrance of the condominium I was designing.
