01 | Rehab Center
Fall 2024
This project focuses on creating a rehabilitation center for a turtle, a bird, and a caretaker, exploring the interaction between habitat and spatial design. A terrarium and an aviary are connected by a central caretaker’s workspace, with scrap wood forming a tactile landscape. Materials such as chipboard, foam board, and wood were used to distinguish the different zones and emphasize texture and material reuse.
02 | Towerhouse
Spring 2025
This project explores abstraction, spatial relationships, and environmental integration through the design of a vertical dwelling. Inspired by the banana tree within my grandparents’ house, the Towerhouse centers around a living tree that shapes circulation, light, and space, illustrating the coexistence of architecture and nature.
Inspired by the mineral Rhodochrosite, this project translates its physical and structural properties into a conceptual landscape. Verbs derived from the mineral’s formation process informed a series of abstract diagrams that were iteratively combined to generate the site. The resulting design contrasts a crystalline, sharp exterior with an organic, circular interior, embodying the duality inherent in rhodochrosite’s natural form.
