1701 ECR is a mixed-use project that combines 3,400 square feet of retail space with sixteen “for sale” residential units around a raised courtyard and subterranean parking. The project provides substantial new landscaping with open plazas, shade trees in the courtyards, and green walls for cooling at the base of the building. The project supports an integration of the built environment with nature, encouraging a pedestrian-friendly community.

Hacienda Shopping Center in Santa Clara County is a 160,000 square foot regional shopping center including a 40,000 square foot building renovation.

Corporate Inn Sunnyvale is a 55,000 square foot corporate residential complex, which embodies sustainable techniques such as natural ventilation, perforated screens to mitigate solar heat gain, energy efficient systems, low maintenance materials, and subterranean parking.

Competition for 2009 Miami Metromover Station of Museum Park, located at the center of a major entertainment district in downtown Miami, the new Museum Park Station will be a focal point to connect locals and visitors to the surrounding landmarks; it is a critical anchor for future development. Once the park is revived and the two new museums are constructed, the station will reopen, encouraging public transportation. This proposal for the new Museum Park Station seeks to correct the current challenges that led to the closure of the station- safety, transience, and connectivity. It establishes the station as a space for people to “stop and stay” rather than “stop and go,” weaving a revitalized urban fabric into the flourishing development by engaging the new Performing Arts Center, Miami Art Museum, Miami Science Museum, and the prominent Biscayne Boulevard.
