Originally built in the 1960s, this 936 sqft brick residence was transformed through selective preservation and two carefully positioned additions. The detached garage was reconfigured into an independent studio while preserving the home's original character.

PROGRAM
Original:
- 2 bedrooms
- 1 bathroom
Reconfigured:

A proposal for the transformation of an existing water tower into a two-level studio space, alongside a reimagining of the surrounding pool area.
The process prioritizes light intervention, spatial circulation, and material continuity as core drivers of the design.
While the main concept of extending the circular structure upward remains, the initial idea of a second-floor buildout has evolved into a circular balustrade that will eventually be covered with vines.

LA CHAPELLE
Prompt: Design a mountain chapel, drawing inspiration from a selected architect. (2012-2023)
I chose Aldo Rossi, known for his typological clarity and structures that evoke memory and communal identity. I keep returning to this project, whether by re-visiting it or adding more details.
The chapel is a sphere held in place by a field of pillars, shaped as its negative. You walk between them before entering, creating moments to reflect. Without the pillars, the sphere would roll down the mountain.

“In order to be significant, architecture must be forgotten, or must present only an image for reverence which subsequently becomes confounded with memories.” ALDO ROSSI
