Design Exercise

Given a floor plan and hypothetical clients’ style, this exercise challenged me to provide two floor plan layouts, FF&E selections, and a budget in 4 days.

Madison Avenue

Designed commercial office layout spanning two floors and a penthouse with furnished roof. I also compiled three color scheme options for the client.

Church of the City of New York

Designed layout for two-floor space with rooftop access and created photorealistic renderings.

DCAS - Department of Health and Mental Hygiene

Selected furniture, lighting, and finishes for three color scheme options for the department of health and mental Hygiene. The space will be utilized by workers helping families with children.

Kings Point Residence

Created layout and picked finishes for two story residential space in Kings Point, New York.

Rosenblatt Apartment

Designed renovation for apartment unit in Gramercy Park in New York City.

Mariner Property Group

Completed renderings for commercial office space. Assisted in furniture and finish selections.

Queens Boulevard

I selected materials and finished and designed two floor layout options for a high end commercial office space in New York City.

Oestreicher Properties

Picked out furniture, finishes, and helped design layout for commercial office space. I created a 3D model and generated renderings for look and feel of the space.

Space Studies

Signage

I composed three signage options for Icon Interiors’ office building in New York City.

Floating Co-Housing 

I tailored communal housing to people of varying demographics. I created a ground level community space for all to gather. A ‘floating’ space for residents’ homes exists above the ground level. Natural light to illuminates the levels below through gaps in each of the floating residential levels. The homes vary in size to cater to different residents, whether they be students, families, or single adults.

Avery Island

A salt dome collapsed on Avery Island in the New Orleans bayou, and this project envisions an exhibition space utilizing the collapsed dome that incorporates the history of the island. I chose to excavate and build my architecture into the ground so as to not take away from the experience and view that exist naturally on site. I occupied the slope with the most significant change in elevation so that my architecture mimics the salt dome underneath. Retaining walls aid in altering of the topography to emphasize this change in elevation.

 

Plaza Tower

Through a combination of vector and raster workflows, I chose to mimic Neme Studio’s Nine Drawings when designing this illustration of Plaza Tower in New Orleans.
