ARTISAN WORKSPACESpring 2012_Freshmen Year288 Hanover Street, Boston, MAThe artisan workspace was focused on the type of work and life style a professional photographer leads. It is a space that can embody and nourish the creative collaboration of the new and the pre- existing. The very traditional Italian North End area intervention allows interaction through the imple-mentation of art spanning generational age groups.

URBAN SHELTERFall 2012_Sophomore YearDartmouth and Newbury Street, Boston, MAThe objective for this urban shelter was to manipulate a form to provide a shelter from the elements, while pro-moting interaction between the public seeking a com-fortable and unique place to rest. This modular form used natural shapes to create multi-faceted spaces within its suggestive rotating features, allowing the pub-lic to use the modular system in ways that suit them best.

PERFORMANCE PARKFall 2012_Sophomore YearDartmouth and Newbury Street, Boston, MAThe focus of this project was to promote public utility spaces providing private areas for intimate conversa-tions as well as exposed spaces better suited for public conversations and expressive performances. The rela-tionship between private and public spaces is appar-ent in the separation of the forms, allowing the user(s) to selectively occupy and use either space they choose.

INTERNATIONAL YOUTH HOSTILEFall 2012_Sophomore YearDartmouth and Newbury Street, Boston, MAThe international youth hostile seeks to bring various cul-tures together by creating an atmosphere for interaction while offering a unique sleeping experience. This is ac-complished through the use of private spaces that provide a visual connection with the public areas below. The hostile allows one to make a connection with the city surroundings while promoting social connections with other occupants.

FACADE STUDYSpring 2013_Sophomore YearYale University, New Haven, CTWith Chris Drinan and Patricia RizzoThe unique façade of the Beinecke Library was examined to fully understand the building envelope, allowing the gen-eration of a scaled model. Through a collaborative effort, a representation of the library was implemented through the choice of materials and assembly. What was conceptually important to show in the model was the central bookcase and the structural suggestions of the granite “crosses”.

ANNEX CONNECTORSpring 2013_Sophomore YearAnnunciation Road, Boston, MAThe Annex connector provided cross-cultural inter-action between the Wentworth and adjacent pub-lic communities through collaboration of the cre-ative and educational processes.

NAULT ARCHITECTS INC. INTERNSHIPSummer 2013Lenox, MA I modified the layout of a residential unit that had encountered severe fire damage by utilizing ex-isting drawing sets. Several layout alternatives were generated after gaining an understanding the demolition plan and listening to the needs and the wants of the occupants for the finished space.

Summer 2013Gardner, MAA residential apartment was suffering with a wa-ter leak in specific areas of the space. An assess-ment of the windows and roof were performed and the information was translated into drawings to convey the issues at hand to the contractor. Eval-uation of the problem led the contractor to remove the improperly sealed windows and replace them.

NAULT ARCHITECTS INC. INTERNSHIPSummer 2013Westfield, MAIn the Westfield Housing area several communi-ty and residential buildings, spanning multiple sites, needed window and door replacements to improve the energy efficiency of the units while maintaining their original design intent. Elevation drawings were done to clearly identify which windows and doors were subject to replacement for each of the buildings.

PERFORMANCE PAVILIONFall 2013_Junior YearCambridge Public Library, Cambridge, MAThis interactive performance pavilion serves multiple functions through natural space that provides unique viewing experiences from the perspective of both the performers and the audience. Assembled panels cre-ate a variety of accessible thresholds that can be easily disassembled to create a variety of practical spaces to accommodate different functions tied to seasonal themes and holidays. The space is also defined by platforms leading to the performance space below.

TEXTILE TRANSFORMATIONFall 2013_Junior YearThis design was derived by combining natural and conceived forms to create an alternating pattern showcasing the characteristics of each. The chain link fence pattern was translated to the panel configuration and ultimately the textile was further abstracted into a lampshade, a practical object anyone can relate to.
