Projects
BRISTOL, RI, USA Program includes an auditorium, wood shop, classrooms, and gallery. Main design problem was the site was longitudinal with two public buildings on two sides. The structure is cast in place concrete flat plate with steel frame on which the glass facade is applied to. The intent was to make the building seem as light as possible to allow the site to seem comfortable.
BRISTOL, RI, USA Program includes four garages with offices and a waiting lounge. A pre-existing garage rests behind the complex from which one can walk from the second floor with ease to descend to the waiting lounge. The structure is a steel 'Y' frame fastened to the ground with an articulated joint then welded to one another by welded connections.
TOKYO, JAPAN A sectional perspective of a townhouse displaying the light shafts incorporated throughout the building. The building includes 2 living units with 2 floors each. Concrete bearing walls with flat plate floors make up the structure of the building.
UKRAINE A simple conceptual design proposal for a future airport in Ukraine.
CONNECTICUT, USA A private home designed in a barn-style typology. The home includes 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, dining room, studio, and two bathrooms. The structural frame is composed of heavy timber king trusses. The plaster walls curve and weave throughout the interior to provide circulation with ease.
The following are recent design projects I have created during my years at Roger Williams University.
