LOFT DESIGN

The concept for this apartment is based on a prism. When light enters a prism it gives a sense of transformation, since the light is dispersed the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet are seen.

Robert Kennedy Building

Inspired by Fibonacci’s’ spiral and the effects of time, the garden will be a place where nature interacts with art, design, music, social gatherings, serving moments of entertainment and relaxation.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT & SCHEMATICRouter House

ROUTER HOUSE

The concept for this residential project was based on the clients’ needs for a sustainable living. Public spaces become spacious and gives the client the feeling of openness for gathering and easy circulation throughtout the house. Private rooms such as the bedroom and office are located in the second floor providing them the privacy that they need. Sustainability is also enphasized by incorporating a green wall system that helps reducing solar heat gain, noise and energy cost in the building.

Based on the clients’ request for a sustainable environment, the generous public spaces accommodate gatherings and facilitate easy navigation throughout the house and the private areas such as bedroom and office on the second floor create a sense of intimacy.

CIRCULATION

The concept for this design focuses on the zipper, with each part of the zipper representing something about the space. The beginning and the end of the zipper represent the entrance and exit from the building, and the pull tab represents the circulation that pulls people through the space. Users can stop at any point to work or rest in a node.

The tab pulling the user through the space, creating stops such as nodes that serve as seating or gathering areas, the circulation either brings people through the space or allows them to stop and stay for a while in a comfortable environment that encourages productivity.
