The project is an integra-tion of a library and a coffee shop brought to-gether by the landscape of the sculpture garden. The library uses a light shelve to scoop in natural daylight deeper into the lobby and reading space.

The project explores the relation-ship between indoor and outdoor as well as uses a sloped roof re-sponding to weather conditions such as blocking heat from the south sun. It is locted in the middle of the intersection of a bay of water and a creak where the nature cent-ers acts as a transition space itself. The systems working together are a coulum an beam systems seper-ated from the walls that provide the enclosure.

COA Community CenterUniversity of Houston, TX

The College of Architecture Com-munity Center is designed as a rest-ing/relaxing place for architecture students. The intention is to make the project itself a plaza by a level change three feet submerged when walking throughout the south side of the architecture building. The buildings respond to the existing cir-culation as well as the placement of the entrance points. The green roof links three of the buildings provid-ing students with a private yet open exterior space.

Market Square Art PlaceHouston, TX

The project deals with differ-ent light strategies such as light shelves and operable verti-cal louvers responding to the function of the spaces in the program. The art center essen-tially is a lifted mass held up by columns. The columns are not continuous after the first floor to offset the curtain wall giving the upper floors more surface area.
