Green & Sustainable
Green Design
Green Design has many aliases including environmental design, environmentally sustainable design, environmentally conscious design and many others. The concept is to design elements within the built environment and provide services that fulfill the principles of social, economic, and ecological renewability.
• Integrative Process with early analysis of relationships amongst
systems, occupant education of building features, and an integrated
project team.
• Access to quality transit, surrounding density, and diverse uses.
• Energy use through the efficient HVAC system and building envelope.
Alternative + Renewal energy practices

Concept Inspired by a Bee Hive Construction
Bees live and function in bee hives. Bees build bee hives in hexagonal
shapes and are called cells. The natural architectural skill of construction using geometry to influence architecture that the bee applies that I choose to explore further; that of, the benefits of using hexagonal design principles in architectural construction by mimicking that of the Bee.
Concept Research Inspired by a Bee Hive Construction
Natural laws have led man to believe that nature runs on sunlight use the energy it needs and it fits function. Form and function are what the construction of the beehive is all about. The visual design of a beehive also exudes design elements such as pattern, repetition, shape, negative and positive space, and direction. The main attribute of the hexagon is its ability to fit perfectly on 6 sides thus reducing the amount of materials required in structural construction.
Other attributes will include energy efficiency and high-performance lighting by having either end of the hexagonal structure of the exterior open allowing also for increased air circulation and ventilation resulting in lowering operation and maintenance cost. Further construction can be achieved by mimicking the hexagonal shapes for each design space within the home. The flat roof tops can be used for growing greenery to enhance the cooling of the roof tops.
Commercial Designs
The Study of Daylighting was an integral part of the office design. The open collaborative spaces filled with earth tones and warm active spaces give the office a welcoming space to work. The integrated efficiency in-direct lighting and living walls bring natural fun and easy casual. The clean lines of the classic modern furniture and bamboo floor through out.

Commercial Design Concepts

Senior Holistic Center Design

Boys and Girls Club Design
Space is designed as a warm and welcoming place for kids to learn and play. The rooms are filled with natural daylight and bright spaces. The energy or color, fun, and a sense of comfort and to provide a safe place to explore, to retreat.

US Auto Glass Company Design
The road through this great country starts with companies like the U.S. Auto Glass Company, making the move to produce “American made”, the pride of America.

Senior Cultural Center Design
The project addresses the lifestyle of health and wellness must be addressed and yet a resident must be happy within their surroundings to interact with the program’s setup for their health and well-being.
Residential Design Concepts
