Brazil Home - The home I designed therefore brokedown the functions of a home intolive, eat and sleep. The homeis therefore composed of three volumes that areinserted into the topography.

- The client for this projectwas looking for a an upscaleand modern home. The home needs to have a large livingspace and minimum of 3 bedrooms.

- The materials used in the home are concrete, native wood, and glass. Glass screensare used throughout the home in order to minimize wall space and maximize the views.

- One enters the home throughthe central volume, which comprisesthe living space. From the living space one can ascent to the diningspaces or one can descend tothe bedrooms.

- The living level consists of a living room, a more open �re pit that could bit lit at nightand a bar area that connects to a terrace where the views can befurther enjoyed.

After miles of driving through static white landscape one descends into the earth to disconnect from the present and enter another time period. After one parks their vehicle they walk through an underground tunnel to arrive at a point where the road diverges. Time freezes, as a traveler must make their decision. If the traveler choosesthe right they will enter an underground cafe where earth tones will predominate and one might feel as if they just walked into an indigenous ruin. If they choose to go straight they enter a sacred circular space where the curvature of the earth is visible. The spiral ramp in the space can lead one to ground level. The juxtaposition between the earth-toned landscape and the sterile desert will become evident and one will see an endless plain of white sand. One could then meander through the sloped terrainexcavated into the land and admire an earth rammed wall decorated with rock art that wraps the paths of the site.

To evoke the freeform nature and continuity of water, an undulating roof was created. The undulating roof creates programmatic hierarchy from the most important spaces being located closer to the apex of the roof, to the service oriented spaces located in its lower parts. This roof is made possible due to the creation of a space frame.

One takes theescalators to the second level whereone can walk through the bridgeand descend to the platform, or ascend to o�ce spaces. A colonnade was designed in orderto serve as shelter. In Miami, summersare quite scorching, and creating acolonnade over the programmaticfunctions can create a public shadedspace in downtown Miami in additionto minimizing direct sunlight and glarein the o�ce spaces.

MODE HAIR SALON

The objective of the project was to design a salon in a very narrow commercial space.Since the space was narrow it became idealto locate the hair cutting stations against thewalls and leave the center of the space for circulation. A fashion runway therefore became the inspiration of the project, a scenario where the model walks throughthe center of the space and the audience is located on both sides of the central runway. Contrary to a runway, salons are very bright and welcoming spaces. There is a pendant light �xture for every hair cutting station so there’s direct light in every station, the walls are white so light can bounce from them tofurther illuminate the space, and the central space is heavily light in order to create a bright ambiance. Red-orange chairs and furniture pieces were then added in orderto bring in color to the space.

The objective of the project was to design asmall restaurant in a very narrow commercialspace. A bar is located to the right side of the space and regular seating is located on the opposite end. Banquette seating wasplaced along the wall in order to maximize the occupancy in the room. The inspiration for the restaurant was historic Baltimore. The city of Baltimore thrived during the Industrial Revolution and therefore the restaurant is an homage with that era. Thedesign is an industrial style with exposed brick walls, exposed HVAC system, cast ironwall sconces, hanging pendant �xtures and concrete �oors.

The model was made of basswood and clear acrylic sheets

The model is built at a 3/32” scale with base dimensions of 30”x40”
