An Associate at Perkins Eastman and passionate about serving the city of New York through mentorship and charity.

Most recently completing an Early Childhood to Grade 5 Jewish Day School in Miami. I am currently working as the project architect on spaces for world renowned institutions in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Driven by my passion for social responsibility, I have also had the opportunity to lead award winning submissions for Canstruction-NY and serve as team captain for the A.C.E. mentor program in NYC.

My architectural experiences while in college ranged from being a product developer at a shared workspace company called WeWork to designing studio projects in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Syracuse and Florence.

A 19th century department store gets an update.

 

Designed and produced with Celeste Pomputius

The Experience Superstore is a unique cross between a museum for showcasing and an interactive field for testing. By design, the Sustainability Superstore offers a personally transformative experience thematically centered around a sustainable way of living. Although none of the products can themselves be brought home, visitors do walk away with a new way of thinking about daily life and its reverberating effect on the environment. The site of the Sustainability Superstore rethinks the existing, landmarked department storefront at 40 W 23rd Street. 

 

At the center of our project, a performative, double-skinned Solar Court acts as a way-finding point for visitors and offers a sensory cleanse in its reflective, heat-soaked realm. The Solar Court plays a role in collecting solar energy and in optimizing its use by acting as accessory to the project’s systems of environmental control. The Solar Court also optimizes the project’s use of daylighting by bringing sunlight deep into the lower levels. 

 
 

A live-work community helping revitalize a neighborhood.

Honoring the men and women who have sacrificed their lives fighting our wars, by creating a home to help with the process of reintegrating back into modern society.  Working with HELP USA, a non profit organization whose mission is to help those who are homeless and others in need become and remain self-reliant. We gathered necessary data and information on this project’s finances, in order to understand the financial impact of this development within its community as well as the rest of Brooklyn.

 
 

At the center of our project, a community garden shared by the veterans living in the building and the community along Livonia Avenue. By bringing the outside in, a comforting and supportive atmosphere promotes recovery. Through a system of hydroponic plantings and expansive community programs, the transitional collective for previously homeless veterans will create opportunities for the veterans living there, as well as the entire community of East NY.

 
 

An opportunity for students & locals to be a part of the courtroom experience.

 

As an extension of the Syracuse University Law School, this project creates a learning environment within the once sacred garden space of the Villa Rossa, located in Florence, Italy. By reinventing the courtyard space into an outdoor courtroom, this programmatic device will create dramatic judicial scenes, new to the eyes of the S.U. students as well as the people of Florence.

 
 
 

Taking precedent from Giuseppe Terragni’s Casa del Fascio, his conceptual ideas that portrayed “architecture for the people ” is taken to a different level of understanding. By opening the Villa Rossa courtyard to the street and creating central pulpit spaces, an immediate relationship can be made between peers... teacher to student... judge to jury... lawyer to citizens.

Bridging the gaps between students, shoppers, bikers, and locals.

 

This building will become the new gateway to campus as well as housing the Syracuse University bookstore, gym, retail shops, and a night club. In dialogue with Rem Koolhaas’ essay, “Whatever Happened to Urbanism?” This project proposes a formal design that is intended to revitalize the urbanity of the Syracuse University campus as well as to give the city of Syracuse a hub to connect with the students of the University. By creating an environment in which students using the mixed use facility and pedestrians using the sidewalk can interact, will allow for a merge of activities, pedestrian traffic, and the various patrons of the university facility.
