Through developing and connecting points along these junctions, the entire zone will hopefully be connected to the rest of the city.
Niksic, Montenegro: The empty building of Dom Revolucije is open for many possibilities for adaptive reuse. This project is a proposal for a hospitality school which would be low-budget and help train locals in the tourism industry.
Hotels closely link their business concept with their architecture and interior design. This research looks into what makes certain hotels stand out from others.

Kotor, Montenegro: The first part of the project was to research tourism in Montenegro, as well as the rest of Europe, in order to develop a proposal for Kotor, Montenegro. The final part of the project was to use existing structures to re-use as part of an art and cultural center for tourism in Kotor.
Kotor, Montenegro: This building would be part of a performance center which would be next to hotel-like housing where performers could reside.

Berlin Highrise
Located on the site of the Berlin Wall, this project looks at how to densify in an urban space formally part of communist East Germany.
The project site lies on the Spree in Berlin, Germany. The left side of the photo shows what was once West Germany and on the right, where the site is, what was once East Germany forming the border of the Berlin Wall. As the city grows there will be a need for it to densify. Therefore, the project proposal is to create a towers which accommodate commercial and residential space with heavy consideration given to communal points of interaction.

In order to begin designing gridshell structures it was necessary to conduct research on constructed examples. Embarking on this as a group, we built a model of the Weald and Downland Gridshell in Surrey as well as designed and constructed a full-scale, single-lathe gridshell. Instructors: Clara Kraft and Satoshi Isono Group: Liang Liang He, Roshun Dehokenanan, Bradley Roast and Lenia Korovesi
The model was used in a UEL Architecture Department-wide presentation by Andrew Holloway of the Green Oak Carpentry Company. Mr. Holloway led the construction of the Weald and Downland Gridshell.

Project for a furniture design final utilizing the strength of cardboard to create a solid chair. The form is inspired by the folds in origami, as the structure can be folded up and transported easily.

Undergratuate in Interior Architecture project: an investigation of retail brand identity and the built environment. Unfinished concrete and exposed bricks expose the building's fundamental elements, subconsciously creating the link with the honesty in construction and in the brand. The site is in a typically long, narrow, San Francisco building. The challenge was to accommodate the different spatial needs of varying types of café clients while still directing traffic in and around the space.
The project was hand-drawn and the model hand-cut.
