9 HARLEM RIVER APARTMENTS
PROJECT, 2016
Based on a parody of the “1909 Theorem” cartoon in Delirious New York, this theoretical project for apartment housing uses gardens, galleries, and platforms as a way to fine-tune the boundaries between private and shared domestic space, and seeks to create healthy social interactions between households both vertically and horizontally through the use of three apartment types.

7 CSOQB
PROJECT, 2015
A radical vision for a heavily polluted five-mile stretch of New York’s East River, dumping ground for 139 combined sewer overflows (C.S.O.’s), wherein the city begins a slow process of expansion into the river through new construction methods applied at the convergence of a number of social and economic forces.

3 LOOP HOUSE
PROJECT, 2012
In this project we explored an alternative formal strategy for a single-family house with an emphasis on the house itself and the objects inside it. Taking the wall as the house’s primary tectonic element, we attached to it all the fixtures and furnishings of a family of four—each implying spatial needs such as floor area, clearances, adjacencies, and privacy—and contoured the wall on radial curves to fit within a legally allowable zoning envelope.

1 HOUSE IN EAGLE ROCK
PROJECT, 2012
This study considers a medium-density strategy for an unbuilt flag-shaped lot partially surrounding the client’s cottage, which occupies the smaller lot to the east. The house comprises a single wall that is contoured to fit between the dense formation of trees, capturing a narrow, two-story-high pocket of space and punctuated by enormous windows. It attempts to synthesize the site’s chief characteristics—north-facing slope, dense tree growth, elevated canopy—with an architectural enclosure flexible enough to accommodate two or three households in a variety of configurations.

35 JAMSU BRIDGE
COMPETITION, 2023
This is the next chapter in the varied history of Jamsu Bridge, a half-century-old bridge on the Han River in Seoul originally designed for military vehicles, but now, and for the foreseeable future, a haven for pedestrian and bicycle traffic linking Seoul's northern and southern halves.

24 THREE WALL HOUSE
PROJECT, 2021
To build this ADU (accessory dwelling unit), four triangular structural modules are laid sideways and packed together to serve as the formwork for three concrete walls, then removed through the open fourth side and recombined to become the roof structure. **These plans have been pre-approved by Salt Lake City.

10 TOKYO OLYMPIC PARK
PROJECT, 2016
Conceived amid the fiasco surrounding Zaha Hadid Architects’ competition entry for the New National Stadium, the objective of this theoretical proposal was to explore radically different alternatives to the traditionally un-compact and inflexible Olympic park type. Our approach was to design the park as a dynamic landscape that could accommodate a number of events whose footprints would normally exceed a site of this size, but through careful programming and experimental technology could adapt to different needs at different times.

8 HOUSE B
PROJECT, 2015
Thousands of houses along New Jersey’s coastline are on what used to be zoned as wetlands but have recently been “upgraded” to high-risk flood zones in light of climate model predictions and the damage wreaked by Hurricane Sandy. This study takes much the same approach that local homebuilders have taken, which is to accept the ground as wetlands and to raise the entire house by 11 feet. Where it diverges, however, is in its reconfiguration of basic elements of the suburban American house as a consequence of detachment from the ground.

6 INSTANT VILLAGE
PROJECT, 2014
Few university campuses express the spirit and values of scholarship quite like Princeton’s, insulated as it is from the outside world since before the nation’s founding. Together, the architecture, medieval pageantry, regalia, Latin phrases carved in stone—all combine to produce an other-timely atmosphere. As we see it, the challenge of conceiving any new building here—in this case, one dedicated to the study of art and architecture—lies in balancing expectations of newness on the one hand and deference to tradition on the other.

4 CHUNGMURO PRINT TOWN
PROJECT, 2011
This proposal for the Chungmuro bookmaking quarter in Seoul seeks to bring new life to an aging industrial neighborhood following on the global trend of the renewed urban arts district. But it does so with an almost reluctantly light touch, attempting to elude the visitor’s attention and recede into the background through the maximal use of existing elements, a minimal addition of new materials, and the visual concealment of only the most obsolete parts.
