Senior Thesis - Phoenix, AZ - Community Center
Through this project, we were told to analyze a site for a proposed project of our choice. I ended up choosing a community center located in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.
My mission was to provide a community center that strengthens communal interaction while offering different recreational spaces and services to the surrounding community. This space is accessible by public transportation, improves community services by providing needed resources, and functions as a community services department.

Home Competition- Wilmington, NY
At the beginning of this project, we analyzed what a home meant to us/what it should feel like, and what you do in your home. We were told to choose any site in the world and develop a 600-square-foot home where I designed a one-bedroom home.
After careful consideration I chose a site close to Whiteface Ski Mountain as close to skiing would be an ideal home for me. Looking deeper into this I placed my open plan home on a brook for a pleasant view out back with a jacuzzi on the back porch to relax after a long day of skiing.

Bushnell's Dream Project - 10 Clinton St, Hartford, Ct
This project started as a master plan shown in the master plan in the second slide of Phase 1. The site connects across the street from the well-known Bushnell Park in Hartford CT. At first, we worked to develop our own friendly space in downtown Hartford that fits in with the surrounding architecture. My goal was to create a multispace building that is publicly accessible providing multiple communal necessities. I chose to make the space of community, residential, and office space providing a variety of spaces with a restaurant on the third floor with balcony space.

Home Competition - Clearlake, CA
As seen above I have done this project twice and this was my first ever submission to the Home Competition hosted by Duo Dickinson. In this submission we were also confined to 600 square feet. As you can see in the first submission, I submitted multiple concepts where in the second I submitted my finalized concept of the bottom left concept design. In my finalized design I decided to make a split-level home with the second floor being the one bedroom and private balcony overlooking Clearlake in California. After analyzing the surrounding site, I found this mountain overlook would be beautiful compared to surrounding locations.

Rustic Refuge - Bear Mountain, CT
This was one of the first projects I ever completed in Architectural Design at University of Hartford. The project entitled creating a 15 person cabin of both genders with multiple public accessible bathrooms with a indoor living room space. As this was more of a hiking/camping shelter there is no heating besides a fire place or kitchen and is just meant for a night place of shelter. As you can see I separated the cabin into three different blocks of living and confined gender living spaces.
