The Hermitage Art Facade was a winning competition entry for a Residential tower in St. Petersburg, Florida. It is comprised of a mixture of powder coated aluminum panels and a paint applique to the existing building. Using the blank canvas of the existing parking structure, we were able to give depth to what is otherwise a flat concrete surface.

The following competition entry was for the expansion of the LA Metro Purple Line. When asked to design the facade, we wanted to use riding on a train as a point of departure. For the rider, their view out to the city is constantly being framed by the windows of the train. The goal of the facade was to reflect "framed" views of Downtown Los Angeles while recreating the staccato rhythm of the train on the tracks. Between the matte panels, we proposed using polished Rimex Metal Panels that would reflect the downtown Los Angeles skyline.

The following was a competition entry for the parking facade at the Austin Bergstrom International Airport. Since Austin is a city famous for its music, the goal of the project was to break up the facade using elements that resemble the city's vibrant art scene. As the facade connects travelers between the airport terminal and the parking lots (and subsequently to the city), the facade wanted to create a cultural link to the city.

This is the winning competition entry for the Bethesda station which is a part of the new Purple Line Metro Expansion happening in Maryland. The area (and specifically the station) is famous for its cherry blossoms in the spring. The proposal was to make an art wall that animates as people move past it. In order to achieve this, a two layer panel system was used to create a traditional moire animation technique that would show the evolution of buds transitioning to flowers. Careful calibration of distances and louver size was taken into account in order to make the animation work.

The following house was part of a larger initiative by Infonavit to make affordable, self built housing throughout Mexico. By providing low cost mortgages, the organization creates a way for individuals (many of whom already work in the construction industry). The office was asked to produce a housing "type" that could be created and expanded upon by residents, allowing for multiple phases of development. Phase 1 would be 50 square meter home on the ground floor, and phase 2 could enclose the upper roof deck.

The following apartments were part of an affordable housing initiative for Mexico put forth by Infonavit. With an intention to create housing solutions that also stimulate neighborhoods, the ground floor of the proposed apartment building would be a store and internet cafe. By doing so, not only does it generate business, but it also becomes an area of learning and vitality. The design was achieved by using a combination of stucco and standard brick sizes that help divide the surfaces and create new silhouettes.

The La Peer Hotel Entryway design was a winning competition proposal for a new hotel built in West Hollywood. As hotel and travel is about opening up oneself to curiosity and adventure, the goal of the design was to create a "cabinet of wonders" on the exterior. Faced by the challenge that the main entry area of the hotel also had a electrical transformer room in the center of it, the proposal was to create a 13 foot tall entry gate that both closed off this inaccessible room, but also created a sense of intrigue and curiosity. The gate, weighing in at over a thousand pounds, was constructed of laser cut and powder coated aluminum. The printed graphic metal birds on the surface contain QR codes that transporting those curious viewers to various destinations.

Located in the heart of Chinatown, the ToCo Haus was a combination of an interior redesign and a mezzanine expansion. Having all the eclectic elements that one finds in the area, the mixed use building just needed to be made more efficient. As the second floor mezzanine had only 6 foot ceilings in the original design, we proposed a "pagoda" style roof expansion over the area that not only produced high ceilings but spoke to the existing architecture.
