Key Responsibilities:

• Developed the architectural concept, building massing, spatial organization, and overall design direction.

• Designed the integration of creative workspaces, residential living, and an elevated outdoor courtyard.

• Developed the exterior material palette and architectural detailing, including brick masonry, limestone, exposed steel, and operable screening.

• Prepared schematic plans, elevations, sections, 3D studies, and architectural visualizations.
