Incorporating the use of modular design, the hotel rooms are composed of used shipping containers. By modularizing the room units, focused was placed on the experience of the building skin. This seaside luminaire covered in horizontal louvers glows ferociously on the inside by day and on the outside by night. Walkways suspended from the exterior structure parade guests through the lofty interior with prized glimpses of sun and activity outside the slatted oasis. My first project using & learning a multitude of computer programs.

Exploring the potential of transformative space by altering the building function through movement. As the sun sets, this music hall transforms into a street side club. Nightlife has begun. People begin to gather and mingle, seats are receding into the walls, ‘wing doors’ opening onto sidewalks, the bartender begins to pour. A building that would usually sit dormant when no show is booked is now transformed into a needed space. Life has come to the lifeless. Through movement and alteration a building can become any actor in the play, shifting its guise, keeping itself relevant in an ever changing environment.

In Locarno Switzerland sits what is believed to be a bastion designed by Leonardo da Vinci. Our intervention surrounding this historical piece of architecture was to create a crossroads of movement. Some surrounding buildings were demolished, some cut open, and some delicately punctured. With these alterations the Rivellino became a central focus in this artificially created ‘piazza’ that connected the upper and lower areas adjacent to it. Trying to bridge the newly created modern on the interior with the antiquity on the outer was the main challenge for this project. Travels that summer across Europe lead to ideas and explorations into the area of ‘intervention’.

Surrounded by small garden houses in the fields of NE Germany, this unique getaway wraps and snakes around the landscape, bridging both water and land. Hotel rooms float above individual docks, allowing the guests to explore the ample waterways at will. Like the braces of a boat, the structures interlocking rooms attach to rib supports, allowing for growth if necessary. An exploration into simple, expandable, environment oriented design.
