Community Arts Center

Studio — Mid-block infill

A flexible work, study, and performance space anchoring a dense walkable block. The massing splits to bring daylight into the lower floors and stay in scale with the existing fabric.

  • Site: dense walkable mid-block
  • Carved massing, frosted-glass infill
  • Section + 1st–3rd floor plans

↳ Renders produced in Rhino + Enscape with AI post-processing

  • Shingle roof, cedar walls, slat bench
  • Slab on piers below frost line
  • Global precedent study, 8000 B.C. → today

Site Mapper

Personal — Tool

A tool I built to automate site documentation. Drop a pin and it returns building footprints with heights and roof slopes, trees by GPS, and streets as geometry — exported as a Rhino or AutoCAD file in seconds.

  • Hours of context modeling → seconds
  • Editable 3D site, ready to design
  • Used in production on Build Ready
