DA house

Project: Residential remodel - Under Construction

Seattle - WA
Role: Lead Designer @ CITYSTRUCTURE
Tasks: SD, Permit drawings and submission,
CD and CA

The design of this house was rethought

based on the lifestyle of the new Capitol Hill de-
mography. The new house is representative for
the current social paradigm shift where a family
of same sex couple decides to move into a larger
home to start their entrepreneurial adventure.
As the designer for the project, I transformed
a traditional single-family home in a live-work life-
style environment. The design challenge was to
mitigate the existing layout of the house with the
RECESSED SHELF

requirements of an office space with the privacy of

the residential area. While preserving privacy be-
tween programs, I open the house into itself and to
the beautiful views to Lake Washington.

BATHROOM

NEW HOUSE: UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The bathing experience has been changed to fit a dynamic
modern couple. From the traditional bathtub bathing ritual to a 30sf
walk-in shower experience. The flat walls have become part of the
program offering display, storage and a backdrop for indirect lighting
areas.
The kitchen openness to the living room and to the second floor office space required a redefinition of what this area rep-
resents in the overall experience of the house.
In the new design, the kitchen area besides the cooking tasks, it also supports social activities in an environment that re-
sembles more as an extension of the living room area.

Project: Design-built Residential

New York/Solar Decathlon 2011
Role: Designer, PARSONS THE NEW SCHOOL
Award: Winning Project - Solar Decathlon 2011
Tasks: Designer and Student Project Manager

Despite the general belief that a sustainable

project is also expensive to build, my multi-disci-
plinary studio team put together an affordable pas-
sive house for low income people. In collaboration
with Habitat for Humanity and DC local government
we were able to design and build two houses that
will be offered to low income families in Deanwood,
Washington DC.
The goal for this project was to create an en-
ergy efficient design that meets financial and con-
ductibility constrains of Habitat for Humanity.

VISCONSI PROJECT

Project: Commercial Master Plan - Mall

Bainbridge Island - WA 2012
Role: Architect Intern, Wenzlau Architects
Tasks: Site Planing Design, Renderings

Visconsi project has been a controversy on

Bainbridge Island since day one, making the first
page of the local newspaper for months. The core
of the controversy lays in the discrepancy between
the commercial zoning regulations and residents
vision about islands residential character.
My studio faced a design challenge that had
to speak for both sides. Our response was to de-
sign a pedestrian friendly village-like commercial
center. The scale of the new development, its
footprint and the architectural character of the retail
buildings create a social environment for the neigh-
borhood wived into the existing green space.
VILLAGE-LIKE MALL

SITE PLAN
Despite the general belief that a sustainable project
is also expensive to build, my multi-disciplinary studio
team put together an affordable passive house for low
income people. In collaboration with Habitat for Hu-

PROPOSED:
manity and DC local government we were able to de-
sign and build two houses that will be offered to low in-
come families in Deanwood, Washington DC.

GREEN FUSION FERRY TERMINAL

Project: Mixed-use High Rise

New York City 2010
Role: Student project, MArch Parsons

The project proposes a sustainable and faster com-

muting option (cuts the time in half) for professionals and
a year-long attraction for the neighborhood. The urbanism,
landscape and architecture fuse together in a structural mor-
phology that celebrates each other.
In todays society, connectivity and urgency are very
valued. The neighborhood has been culturally revived though
a new Lincoln Center but it is still far away from many New
Yorks points of interest like Financial District, NJ, Brooklyn,
beaches, Upstate New York, etc..

Riverside Park users are very diverse, from moms

with babies to professionals turned amateur athletes.
However, the park is a seasonal attraction. The Fusion
Ferry Terminal would be all-day, year-round point of
interest by offering entertainment spaces and sweep-
ing views of the Hudson River and surroundings.

Parsons The New School intends to open a new

branch in Shanghai. The Chinese government is favorable to
this proposal since it will grow local design talent.
The Elevated School was designed to make an envi-
ronmental statement and to create an educational tool for stu-
dents and public. The school was specifically located over the
freeway to minimize the footprint while getting a lot of public
exposure.

Low-income housing in New York has proven not to

be sustainable. Generally, low-income housing projects bring
together a homogenous group of people both from a financial
and social perspective. This collusion increases rather than
decreases crime and irresponsible social behavior. To prevent
the inevitable self-implosion of such communities, cities incur
unplanned and on-going clean-up costs, comparable to the
initial investment.

James Carpenter Design Associates

86 Greenwich St., New York is not just a parking ga-

rage, it has potential to bring together people from Battery
Park City, Financial District, Staten Island and tourists, in a
cultural, artistic and business community. Studying neigh-
borhoods that are most valued by New Yorkers, I implement-
ed design strategies that have the potential to increase the
desirability of tall buildings while maintaining their environ-
mental advantages.
The programmatic organization of the VillageSky-
scraper investigates how programs could be interlinked so
that a tall building could nurture human interaction similar to
the West Village community.
