Design Objectives:
San Diego’s harbor is the main entrance to the city by water, plane, bus, and train. Pres-ently, there is a disconnect between the harbor and the downtown area. The objective of this large scale project was to establish a meaning-ful connection in an area that is currently ridden with barren parking lots and vehicle crowding.
Design Challenges:
Traffic, congestion, and wide highways pose the greatest challenges to the objectives.
Design Strategies:
A pedestrian bridge at Santa Fe Depot Train Station diverts foot traffic over the busy Pa-cific Highway. The barren parking lot is re-placed by a beautified waterfront complete with shopping, performance area, jogging path, and water access by breaking up the water’s edge and diverting vehicle traffic up and over.

Location: San Diego, Ca.Square Feet: 40,000Levels: SixModeled: ArchiCADRendered: ArtlantisDetailed: Photoshop
Design Objectives:
The program maximizes square footage of the follow-ing required spaces: - six residential units - retail shop - public library
The building’s energy con-sumption was designed not to exceed it’s energy conserva-tion with the use of building integrated photovoltaics, site orientation to maximize sun-light and prevailing wind, and use of impervious surfaces in the courtyard.
Design Challenges:
The corner of 5th Ave and Ash Street in downtown San Diego is a very difficult urban site that is blocked by existing tall structures to the east and south faces. The site wasalso on a dramaticslope.
Design Strategies:
On the ground floor, the retail space is situated on the busy corner to maximize foot traf-fic while the library occupies levels 1-4 with the residential units hovering on top to maxi-mize privacy.

Design Objectives:
The program called for the multi-unit residential development of one square block in an industrial neighborhood of San DIego.
Design Challenges:
The dense urban site required constant collaboration with nieghbors. Each student was given equal size lots of the city block. Views to maximize in-cluded the San Diego embar-cadero and Coronado Island.

Location: La Jolla, San Diego, CA.Lot size: Approx. 3 acresModeled: Bass WoodTopography: Cardboard from 3D PrintDetailed: Photoshop
Design Objectives:
The design a monastic complex for the Sufi Brotherhood, an order of Islamic monks, required much time spent ana-lyzing and surveying the site to determine locations for the very specific daily activities of the client. These activities include following a path around a bohdisatva tree, study, prayer, nourishment, and sleep.
Design Strategies:
To orient the place of worship facing the pacific ocean, re-spect private spaces while maintaining public spaces, and to not disturb the existing landscape.

A Bauhaus inspired home designed by architect Harry Seidler for his ail-ing mother, Rose, built in 1950.
The purpose of reconstructing this home was an excerise in client rela-tions. Every detail of this home in-cluding the ramp, low ceilings, and murals were all deeply considered with a very specific client in mind.
