for club members to interact in a casual

setting with other club members of

OBJECTIVETo develop a unique

concept and design for

a 5,000 square foot

restaurant space in

Washington, D.C. The

client, Soledad Nardelli,

Argentinian celebrity chef

focuse on infusing new

spaces with Argentinian

classics.

CONCEPTThe concept seeks to

evoke the experience of

Caminito and Buenos Aires,

Argentina by abstracting

the color, textures and

cultural elements of the

area.

SOLUTIONCaminito wine bar features

streamlined and modern

materials, providing

a comfortable, yet

sophisticated atmosphere

with emphasis on

circulation and interaction.

OBJECTIVE

To design a creative

solution and produce

detailed construction

drawings for a 2’ change in

elevation between the main

structure and the addition

at the opposite side of the

courtyard.

CONCEPT

The concept evokes the

visual movement of a

drop of water as it creates

an indentation and an

elevation in the surface,as

well as the subsequent

ripple effect.

SOLUTION

The design employs

techniques observed

by studying the work of

Carlo Scarpa and his use

of concrete to create

visual interest in stairs.

As a result, the structure

welcomes the user through

an indentation containing

greenery, followed by a

gradual elevation of stairs

that house planting for

shade and culminates

in a fireplace. The space

is meant to serve as a

transition, as well as a

destination.

OBJECTIVETo combine two different

spaces: a library and an

innovation lab into one

cohesive design for client

Enabled by design, a social

organization dedicated to

making every day life more

seamlessly accessible to

everybody.

CONCEPTAs the neuronal

connections in the human

brain, the concept is a

network of empowering

universal spaces defined by

function which connect to

each other to promote and

facilitate the exchange of

ideas and information.

SOLUTIONInformed by personal

experience with the client,

the solution is a universal

and adaptable open

work space connected

through an uninterrupted

floor surface that eases

movement. The Hub, is

anchored by a monumental

spine-like structure,

illuminated from within to

highlight the verticality and

fluidity of its movement,

that culminates in a semi-

private conference room.

OBJECTIVETo design a creative and

functional entry piece

based on the study of the

work of Patricia Urquiola.

CONCEPTThe concept abstracts

the aesthetics of Patricia

Urquiola’s signature

Tropicalia furniture line.

Meant to be a functional

and avant-garde design

piece, the Tropicalia line

features interwoven lines

with strong pops of color in

a durable material.

SOLUTIONThe solution is a flexible,

bendable and adaptable

entry piece composed

of seven flexible poles

wrapped in the signature

Tropicalia plastic treads,

a movable seat to remove

shoes and an integrated flat

and concave surface that,

together form a functional

statement entry piece.
