43” (Long) x 15.5” (Short) x 29.75” x 6” (Height)

Designed and fabricated for Victor Bassman, ceramic sculptor and retired educator. With his restricted mobility, his 50 year old Soldner wheel needed to be lifted and put on wheels in order to accomodate.

Due to poor engineering and environmental factors, the old platform was heavily warped and needed replacing.

Design for 860-880 Lake Shore Drive Towers, Mies Van der Rohe

Design, Architecture
2022

The facade is composed of a moving steel screen, eliminating the necessity for curtains and distorting the view of the building when wind passes through the site. The facade’s end bounds provide subtle protection of residents from rain and wind when gathering around the towers.

Model: Basswood, Piano Wire, Waffle Knit Fabric

Design for Modular Bamboo Play Structure

Design, Architecture
2022



Inspired by traditional bamboo scaffolding used in Hong Kong, this is a design updating the structure for children’s use.

Given the high carbon footprint and heat retention of traditional steel play structures, the transition to bamboo offers a sustainable alternative while remaining suitable for large scale production.

Modeled joints: Bamboo, PVC, Lag Bolts, Nuts
