1CONDOMINIUM PROJECT - FALL 2009
FLAMINGO BEACH, COSTA RICA
The design behind this condo is reflective of the ocean. Its
curvilinear lines are reminiscent of the waves and Flamingo
Beach’s shore. Horizontal lines play with the horizon between
the sky and the sea. Elements of reflection, repetition,
depth, and translucence further evolve this ocean-inspired
design, bringing it to life by embracing the ocean’s serenity
and organic nature.

Design, to me, is mostly
about problem solving.
It is being presented a
challenge and coming up with
the most creative solution
that is both practical and
aesthetic. In order to
be a successful problem
solver, the skills and
knowledge required go beyond
just the basics. A great
designer is a Renaissance
Man. While no mortal can
be omnicient, I make it
my goal to be constantly
gaining new knowledge
through collaboration and
a willingness to learn. I
never promise to be perfect,
but always strive to reach
it.

5EMBRACING WAVES55Ar
Given the pre-existing
exterior and a water line
for plumbing, the challenge
of this project was to work
around the constraints
and still provide a space
that flowed well and
maximized the potential
of the exterior views. By
examining typical movements
of humans throughout the day
and contrasting it against
the sun’s motions, a floor
plan emerged that not only
blocked the least number of
pre-existing windows, but
also allowed the clients to
constantly stay in a space
that had the least amount of
sun glare, permitting them
to leave the drapes open and
look down to the magnificent
landscape below.

LIVING ROOM
The site plan and
floor plans of the new
construction of the
community spaces and tenant
improvement of the living
spaces feature circular
paths from the interior to
the exterior, harmonizing
the designed spaces into one
continuous flow. This flow
pattern promotes interaction
with nature, as well as with
the activities within the
space. It also allows for
the wanderer to continue
through the several circular
routes available.SITE PLAN
9MEMORY CARE PROJECT - SPRING 2011
PHOENIX, ARIZONA
This memory care center for dementia patients is inspired
by changing lifestyles and brings something different and
unfamiliar by focusing on harmonizing eastern and western
designs. It symbolizes that change is not just something that
must be welcomed, but can also be enjoyed.
9KIVEL CAMPUS OF CARE99
ENTRY
TV LOUNGE
Wayfinding is one of the
most important issues in a
memory care center. This
issue was addressed through
visual cues - contrasting
borders on the floors and
colorful frames around the
doors. These colors are
unique to each activity area
and are introduced in a
subtle way.
Exterior materials are also
brought into the space.
These materials are kept in
their true form, allowing
its honesty to bring a more
welcoming touch to the
center. The custom laser cut
wooden panels is not just
a unifying element that is
seen in the entire facility,
but also brings out the
honesty of the background
material.

DELTA SKY CLUB,INCHEON, SOUTH KOREA
This modern sky lounge envelops the end user in an ethereal
dream-like space that defies gravity, questions perception,
and submerges users in an interesting yet peaceful world where
things aren’t necessarily as they seem. Achieved through the
unique use of line, scale, and light, this space derives its
inspiration from the inherent beauty found in music.

17MULTI-USE PROJECT - FALL 2011 / SPRING 2012
TEMPE, ARIZONA
DESIGN EXCELLENCE NOMINATION 2011/2012
TempeEx is not just a project that restores a once important
but now abandoned site in Tempe, but serves to capitalize on
the very essence of the city - its rich history. For 126 years
the Hayden Mill was a food processing center located in the
heart of Tempe that in many ways was responsible for the city’s
very existence. TempeEx aims to re-kindle the power of the
Hayden Mill by creating a virbrant attraction that looks back
to the past and aims to define a better future for the site,
its local caretakers, and outside visitors. As a site that is
located in Tempe, TempeEx is truly a development that is from
Tempe.

While each program within
the TempeEx site is unique,
they all have a common “ex”
that strengthens the culture
of Tempe. The memory garden
exposes the history of the
site with walls on historical
building footprints. The
restaurant allows guests to
experience the food-making
process. The bar excites
visitors with the revival of
a historical calaboose, but
with a new twist. Finally,
the famous Hayden grain
silos is exalted by a hotel
that provides guests with a
genuine experience of the
historical structure and
local milling processes.

21RESTAURANT PROJECT - SPRING 2010
THE WESTIN WESTMINSTER, WESTMINSTER, COLORADO
PROJECT SELECTED AS A FAVORITE BY CLIENT
Combining inspiration from photography and the national parks,
the design’s purpose is to create a space that will be enjoyed
by everyone at the restaurant. Digital elements combined with
luxurious materials give the restaurant a modern feel that is
driven by functionality. The restaurant is a preserve of all
that is good in life - magestic views, laughing with friends
and family, and, of course, food, with high hopes of continuing
the enjoyment for generations to come.
21THE PRESERVE2121
MIDDLE DINING AREA
This project pushed design
limits by tackling more
than just the normal
issues of aesthetics and
functionality. For a
profit-driven restaurant,
profitablity became a huge
driving factor. Research
showed that most people,
when eating at a restaurant,
preferred booth seating or a
table close to a wall, and
usually chose not to sit at
a table in the middle of
an open space. In order to
maximize the profitability
of the square footage,
the most number of tables
were provided that mostly
consisted of booth seating
or table seating near a
wall.

25HOTEL PROJECT - SUMMER 2011
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
Drawing inspiration from the sea, the proposed designs for the
Manchester Grand Hyatt pay tribute to the rich yacht culture
of San Diego and transform it in a modern way, with additional
inspiration from the clean lines in high end fashion design.
Three concepts submitted to the client all support this idea.
First is the yacht-inspired guest room that is most directly
related to the general concept. The second takes its shapes
and forms from the Coronado Bridge, a yachting landmark of San
Diego. FInally, the third submitted concept is drawn from the
beachy pier, where multiple activities related to the sea take
place.
As an intern at WATG, I participated in the concept
and schematic design phases of all the guestrooms and
guestroom corridors, as well as the design development
phases of the standard guestrooms and guestroom corridors.
My responsibilities for this project included designing
presentations, rendering drawings, picking out materials and
furnishings, and connecting with vendors.
