Eco-Clean
Design IX Comprehensive Studio
Eco-Clean integrates passive design technologies into natural landscapes to create a public sanctuary. Eco-Clean contains public galleries for visitors and offers classes to local residents to raise awareness of the city’s sewer system and educate the public about the importance of water.
The site is located along Columbus Boulevard, adjacent to the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Through extensive site analysis, we determined the Delaware River is extremely polluted due to the undersized sewer system of Philadelphia. Research on both water purification technologies and urban sanitation facilities guided our project goal: to prevent combined sewer overflow (CSO) and decontaminate the Delaware River.

Project H.O.M.E.
Design X Socio-Political Studio
The students of the Design X studio collaborated with Philadelphia’s leading non-profit homeless organization, Project H.O.M.E. Together, the students worked with members of Project H.O.M.E. to devise solutions through comprehensive design to improve the lives of 25 homeless women in the Women of Change Safe Haven homeless shelter. The close proximity of people mixed with lack of individual privacy has created problems between residents. Social mediation and understanding mental illness was crucial to meeting the residents’ needs.
The goal of the project was to design and construct an installation within the existing facility, the Women of Change Safe Haven. The installation will maximize limited space while successfully and safely fulfilling the immediate needs of residents. The design also had to respond to the use of the residents, safety and security, durability, and maintenance.
Greenwich Tower
ISOVER Multi-Comfort House Student Competition 2011
Greenwich Tower in New York City introduces building technologies to utilize the environment to power most of the necessary building energy needed for its lifetime. Located in Greenwich South, the multiple-use skyscraper houses a large and diverse program, including apartments, hotel, student housing, concert hall, library, and retail space. Despite the large footprint and staggering height, the tower’s energy usage is surprisingly low - the tower’s numerous building systems power 75% of total energy usage. The Lower Manhattan skyscraper employs a large geothermal system, central air shaft, grey water collection, and glass fins that collect light and heat to fuel numerous building systems.
Ninth Street Greenway
John Stewardson 111th Memorial Fellowship in Architecture 2012
Located on Ninth Street and Spring Garden Street, the Reading Viaduct was once home to automobile, textile, and print manufacturers. Today, abandoned buildings, including the elevated railway and the Spring Garden Train Station, remain as ghosts of the past, lying vacant for temporary shelter for wanderers.
Ninth Street Greenway introduces urban renewal through sustainable design. The Reading Viaduct will be revitalized as an urban park floating above the existing site, breathing new life into a once abandoned area. Three outdoor meeting spaces will accomodate over 500 people at a time, allowing visitors to use amentities at the users’ discretion. Ninth Street Greenway will allow people to meet, communicate and coexist.

Loft Tower
Advanded Modeling Studio
A collection of rendered images based from an academic exercise. The assignment required the digital creation of a skyscraper, including surrounding context, materiality, and detail. The tower was to be designed, modeled, and rendered using different programs and techniques. The render styles focused on photo-realistic imaging. All 3D modeling and rendering was done in Revit, Rhino, and 3DS Max. Post-production altering was done in Adobe Photoshop.
SoHo Townhouse
Post-graduation work
The SoHo Townhouse challenges the skill of space planning. Only fourteen feet wide, the house must utilize space to the maximum potential. The townhouse features a living room, study, kitchen, and dining area. The house also contains two bedrooms and 2.5 baths, complete with a third level terrace overlooking the large garden located in the rear of the house.
Maximizing spacial capabilities begs for a minimalist design approach. All furniture and elements are designed and modeled. The modern decor along with minimalist-inspired furniture blend beautifully to create a look that is creative yet sophisticated.
