I design for everyday life. I aim to create open, welcoming spaces where people can work, meet, or simply live. Architecture, which is an inherently political act, has the power to change the ways that people coexist, and I believe this should be taken advantage of. Thinking of spaces in terms of who is served and who is left out allows the architecture to take care of the people who rely on it.

This project transforms a former surface parking lot in East Fenway into a housing development organized around a continuous red path, which is the sole circulation system connecting all residential units across buildings. By eliminating internal corridors and stairs, the project forces every resident into an unavoidable yet pleasant zone of encounter where daily experiences overlap.

Broken Symmetry
How can two families live together? This project proposes a “doubled” house designed to fit a family of three and two grandparents. Each wing feels distinct, but uses the same language and explores connection to give the sense that there are other people living there.
