A proposal for a new visitor center and restrooms at the Gropius House. The design approaches the site with restraint: the house, the garage, the approach from Baker Bridge Road and the views up the driveway all remain as they are. The new building acts as an inhabitable threshold, one that clarifies arrival and mediates between landscape and architecture.

Its low profile keeps the view from the road uninterrupted, while the orientation of each room frames the site and the house. The structure rises from a stone base drawn from the site's existing fieldstone walls, remnants of its agricultural past, continuing the dialogue Gropius began between the existing and the modern, where design is understood not as imitation but as continuity.

Located in Bogotá, Casa 32 merges the desire for privacy with the careful framing of the Andes. The home features two private volumes connected by a large entertaining wing, prioritizing ground-floor accessibility for aging in place. An interior courtyard buffers the street, while a hidden wine cellar and double-height art spaces add experiential depth. The result is a cohesive, view-oriented sanctuary designed for hosting.

Situated within Logroño's La Concha amphitheater, this intervention encloses the space with a cylindrical wattle-and-daub earth wall. Translocating the visceral experience of agricultural life into the city, it creates a cool thermal sanctuary where the smell of raw earth and profound stillness reconnect the public with the region's terroir.

Drawing on the structural simplicity of the arch, this booth creates a sanctuary for SCAD alumni work at Design Miami 2022. The design features a dynamic, daily-changing field of hanging tiles and a façade pattern that abstracts the sombrero vueltiao. By combining raw and glazed terracotta with frosted polycarbonate, the material palette evokes Colombia's landscapes, celebrating a deep connection to craft and culture.

Conceptualized as a Latin American brand hub where beauty, fashion, and design converge, our design for Origen serves as a proof of concept for the brand. The brief required maximum impact on a limited budget. Our response introduced tropical motifs and rich textures, utilizing arches, flowing curtains, and sage green plaster walls to create a vibrant, immersive retail environment.

Embedded in the Yucatan jungle, our proposal reimagines the 19th-century Hacienda Itzancab as a sustainable luxury hotel. Rooted in traditional Yucatecan urbanism, the master plan restores the original hacienda as the resort's nucleus, organizing new amenities around a central plaza and sacred cenote. A reforestation grid of ceiba trees connects productive gardens to two new guest typologies designed for jungle immersion. Utilizing local materials and passive strategies like cross-ventilation, the architecture creates a self-sufficient, low-impact sanctuary where luxury dissolves seamlessly into the natural landscape.

Bridging the gap between single-family homes and high-rises, this project introduces a mid-density "casa patio" typology to Miami. Situated in Little Havana, the design densifies the grid by halving lot widths to 25', creating pedestrian-focused blocks with internal parking and central parks. By utilizing local materials and courtyard-driven passive ventilation, the proposal fosters a micro-neighborhood model adaptable for small developers and diverse incomes.

Materiality is the narrator of architecture. This project examines the role of material — particularly clay — in shaping architectural narratives and user experience. Drawing on clay's long history in construction, art, and ceramics, it explores the relationship between material memory and spatial meaning, questioning how the substance of a building conditions how we interpret and inhabit it. The inquiry is deployed as a series of pavilions in the colonial plaza of Villa de Leyva, Colombia, where each structure surfaces a hidden layer of the town's history through form, texture, and material presence.

Resting at the base of the Hverfjall volcano, this visitor center is a "dark mass" clad in charred wood, designed to merge with the stark Icelandic landscape. The building is a perfect square cut by a central void, which distributes visitors into three independent volumes: a café, exhibition space, and amenities. A glulam waffle ceiling and concrete plinth define the tectonic rhythm, while large glass openings frame specific views of Vindbelgjarfjall and Krafla. Acting as a threshold between the road and the trail, the building invites hikers to pause, learn, and orient themselves before stepping out toward the crater.

Designed for a private West Coast commission, these compact cabins offer a flexible solution for remote living. Each unit fits on a standard truck for easy transport, minimizing on-site assembly. Inside, a modular layout allows the space to adapt while preserving distinct areas for sleep and productivity. Whether serving as a temporary office or a cozy retreat, this design combines practical logistics with efficient comfort.
