FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE SITE

Brooklyn New York

Flow lounge brings an ex-citing and vibrant feel to the rough industrial area of Redhook. The mission was to transform an emp-ty factory located at the very end of the pier, into a Contemporary lounge and attraction. The name ‘Flow’ not only describes the water which sur-rounds the site but also the experiences when entering the structure.

The decor of Flow Lounge is one of kind in every as-pect. The abstract design of the exterior flows inside with its bold movements and unique furniture. The neon lights illuminate the lounge creating a futuris-tic atmosphere. There are two levels to the lounge. The first floor features a dancefloor and is more alive where as the second is more intimate and re-laxed feel. The flow of the design is carried out on both levels along with of-fering two separate bars.

This project’s mission was to create a dormitory for the architectural students of New York City College of Technology. The bold design design derived from rearranging trian-gular pieces abstractly to form various shapes. The Dormitory contains enter-tainment areas, as well as public gardens where non members can experience.

The dormitory is designed to function as a sustain-able structure. The key ma-terials used in this project are White Low Iron Glass which is beneficial during the day time capturing is much sunlight and during the night, releasing a white glow. Recycled glass and astroturp are also fea-tured in the design as well as Eco- friendly cement.

This projects aim was to create stairs which con-nected ot the highline park. Also,, to incorpo-rate a playground on the same lot. The concept for the stairs and playground derirved from free flowing shapes when combined formulated a one of a kind theme. This design brings the area of Chelsea a fresh and artistic flare.

The High Line is a 1-mile New York City linear park built on a 1.45-mile section of the former elevated New York Central Railroad spur called the West Side Line, which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan; it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway.

The recycling of the railway into an urban park has spurred real estate development in the neighborhoods which lie along the line.

4The Green Musem Project is a innovative sustainable design. This museum fea-tures solar panels which move in accordance with the sun. The energy which is stored from the panels serves as energy for the whole structure. Green roofs and rooms purify the air and add some nature within. This is the first mu-seum that is environmen-tally friendly in New York.

My inspiration for this design came from a seashell. I took the elegant organic shape to form a structure that would fit the area as well as provide a unique look for the museum. I elaboreted on the shells curves by emphasizing on their fucntion as well as their overall function.

The left wing of the museum was designed to serve as a green room. The visitors are able to visit the green roof from the ramps lo-cated in the left wing. This side of the museum feels different from the rest of the structure, light is a big factor and low - e glass is installed to capture in light but not heat up the structure.

The blue glass stands out and is seen from across the East River. This unique design sits on one of the Brooklyn Piers and will be a great tourist attraction for this part of Brooklyn. The Green Museum will feature art, historic artifacts of Downtown Brooklyn.

To create the melting booshelves throughtout the store i use repeta-tive panels each with different melting points. This variety creates the feeling of melting chocolate and emphasizes the idea. The different shades of wood divide the areas and give the visitor a emotion as they circulate from one side to the other. Colorful chandeleers stand out against the earthy colored walls.

Green design focuses in using smart materials that are beneficial to the environment as well as the owners.

All of the living spaces are designed to fit a modern commodity with the latest appliances and furnishings. The sleek decor reflects the overall design of this project. The shipping containers only serve as the basises of the structure.

The house features balconies, elevated roof, and a pool in the backyard. Surrounding the house with trees and plants also warms and takes away from the steril white facade of the structure.
