PORTLAND MIXED HOUSING
Portland, OR | Housing Bootcamp Studio | Fall 2019
01
In this project, I applied the different housing designs I learned
throughout the term in order to create a two-block, high density
residential neighborhood. In designing this community, I had to
maintain a minimum of 28 units per acre, all the while providing
enough room for parking and separate lots for each unit. The overall
layout includes row houses, single-family dwellings, courtyard homes,
and a set of 8-plex apartments; the following pages 5-8 are arranged
in this order.
The general layout of the housing blocks is meant to offer an ease of
circulation and provide a generous amount of green space. Location
of the certain housing typologies is responsive to a busier urban
southern edge, and a quieter northern edge. Thus, the units decrease
in density moving south to north, or from row houses to single family
dwelling units. Overall, the project is designed to address the problem
of urban sprawl and provides a solution in efficient design with a
more sustainable approach.

A CITY REBORN
Glenwood, OR | Glenwood Urban Design Studio | Spring 2019
In this project, I examined a city plagued by decay and explored
options in improving the area through urban redesign. Currently, the
city of Glenwood remains an industrial area with several unwanted
industries such as waste, concrete polluting the area. In this project I
provide an alternative to the current cityscape, which will utilize the
natural landscape of the city and allow for an economic hub to exist
in the city, boosting the local economy.
The primary proposals are to expand the main street that runs through
the city, Franklin Blvd, provide a waterfront public area, and create
successful residential neighborhoods in a desirable location.

RESIDENTIAL BLOCKS
My residential proposal is to move most of the industry south of
Franklin, eventually south of the railroad tracks, and introduce
residential blocks in their place. The city of Glenwood lies along the
riverfront and valuable public land is being polluted and wasted by
dirty industries. In their place, I propose a walkable neighborhood,
wider streets, and green strategies implemented to help promote the
local landscapes.

URBAN WATERFRONT
Glenwood sits along the edge and bend of the Willamette river.
Taking vantage of this natural gem, a waterfront would be ideal for
the community and help transfrom Glenwood into an economic hub.
Placement of shophouses along one edge and a line of firs along
the river would create a walkable cityscape that would attractive for
users. Implementation of a pedestrian only avenue with large open
spaces could help the city organize events and hold farmers markets
and similar use attractions in this space.

HOTEL OF MYSTERY
Portland, OR | Subscription Studio | Fall 2018
In the spirit of entrepeneurship, this design is focused on creating
architecture that entertains the user and provides a building as
essntially a giant mystery box. With the rise of technology and the
steady growth of subscription based services, audiences are seeking
experiences that offer excitement and variability on a regular basis.
Users seek new experiences, and through the exploration of various
design techniques, I want to give that to them.
In order to create this mystery box, I explored three elements of
surprise: the curtain, inception, and perception. The curtain is simply
the principal idea that an object must remain hidden in order to build
suspense and surprise the viewer. Inception is the principle that there
is always something more to be discovered the further you go, such as
Russian nestling dolls. Finally, perception is playing with the viewer’s
field of vision in order to once again, surprise the user. All these ideas
are explored throughout the building and seek to create architecture
that surprises.

THE CENTRAL SURPRISE
Since the building is architecturally layered, the center is the most
important spot in the building. The central space is a public space
spanning four levels. The bottom level, is sitting in an aquirium, the
second level acts as a restaurant, the third as a lounge space, and
finally the top acts as an open outdoor space.

COURTYARD LIVING
Portland, OR | Housing Bootcamp Studio | Fall 2019
Situated on a 100x100 lot, this courtyard housing complex is
purposed for the utilization of parking space coupled as a courtyard
and livable area. The primary design of the units is meant to be
efficient and provide room for a small family with careful planning
of each room in the design. In addition to providing a livable space,
the entire courtyard must be accessible by each unit and each tenant
should be able to have eyes on the park.
In my design, I provided a functional open space for activities
whichever may come up. That being said, the priority was to create
personal space for each unit which would include room for patios and
private yards. Overall, the driving focus was to create a functional
neighborhood, with limited space, and explore ways to make parking
space more useful when the spots are empty.

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT
Lowell, OR | Dexter Lake Boathouse Studio | Spring 2018
Nestled on the shore of Dexter Lake, in the small city of Lowell,
Oregon, is a boathouse designed for everyone’s use. With over
25,000 square feet of equitable use, this boathouse has been
designed in order to fulfill the need of university, high school, and club
athletes who don’t have access to a proper storage facility on this
lake. However, since the project is designed on such a grand scale,
it will also be fully functional for the public, considering they will help
fund it.
The design of the boathouse stemmed from tthe sport of rowing. The
general layout follows the pattern formed by the oars hitting the water,
laying a rhythmic, repetitive pattern separated into two sets of of oars
at an angle from each other. Building on the metaphor the building is
broken down into four compartments along each side, with the center
holding the most important pieces, such as the actual rowing boats
and the large open atrium space for the public on top.

MODEL MAKING
University of Oregon, Eugene | University Housing | 2018 - Current
Having grown up making models, I’ve always enjoyed the model-
making aspect of the architecture program. I generally prefer working
with museum board, paired with wood trim and grey board, as this
allows for a subtle yet beautiful representation of every piece in a
model. Although I’ve laset cut a few models before, I prefer working
every piece by hand as it allows me to explore additional ideas and
be more creative with my model. Whilst it may take more time, the
creative exploration of ideas is invaluable in the design process, and
the primary reason why I enjoy making models.
