Shaker Ridge House2010 - Residential Project, New York

I have a certain fascination with the

townhouse typology that exist in

many of the older cores of america’s

eastern cities. In this project i am

assigned to design a speculative

townhouse that could incorporate

the existing townhouse sturcture

while updating it to a contemporary

design language.

This townhouse is located right on top

of a cliff which has an amazing view.

Our objective is to bring that great

view into the new addition. Another

objective of ours is to maintain a high

energy effiecency. Solar gain in

winter time become a very important

part of our design.

Initial 3D Google Sketchup Rendering - An initial rendering presented to the owner of the new addition.

Solar gain is maximized as the broad

face of the house faces west. The

energy efficiency of house is kept high

by maintaining a high degree of solid

area on the glass. The new structure will

use Zinc panels and a Prodema panel

rain screen system. These materials,

while possibly having a higher embodied

energy due to fabrication and

transporation requirements than more

local “green” materials, are extremely

durable and will not need to be

replaced and thrown out.

Site map - The building is surrounded by forests.

West Side Rendering - New living room, bathroom and master bedroom will use ceiling-to-!oor curtain wall system.

1st Fl - The new grand vestibute would be transparent on both side

in order to create an amazing indoor view.

2nd Fl

2nd Fl - The staircase in the vestibute will lead to the main music room

which has an outdoor deck.

North Elevation - The addition would be sitting on the new foundation on top of the slope

overlooking the sunset merging into the sullen earth at night time.

West Elevation - Shop drawing with window schedule for material estimating purpose.

Section - Section of the building showing the new foundation wall on the slope and details.

Ainslie Tower

2010 - Mixed use building, New York

I joined this project‘s team in 2009

when they started, right near the end

of the design development stage. I

worked on all parts of the project,

from design, construction document,

shop drawing, millwork design, finish

selection, construction administration,

contractor and client meetings,

consultant coordination. Near the

beginning of construction, almost half

of the project team was laid off,

including the project architect. Work-

ing with the project manager and

design principle, i picked up many of

the responsiblities left vacant by the

personnel losses.

Bird’s eye view - To showcase the back of the building and the rooft garden.

Entrance - To showcase the view from a pedestrian toward the building entrance.

The original space had 6

apartment unit on each floor.

Due to owner’s request, we had to

change the whole floor plan to

create 4 apartment unit on each

floor and meets the new DOB

requirement. We also have to

come up with new curtain wall

detail and window schedule in

order to meet the new building

height.

Typical Floor Plan - The complete approved !oor plan with detail to meet

new F.A.R. requirment.

Elevation - Elevation drawing to show the new adjusted

building height.

Lexington bldg 2010 -Mixed use building- New York

One of the main tasks that I

was charged with was

developing an architecture

for the retail component of

the project. A preliminart

schematic design had been

completed in 2009. Many

features of the original

schematic pakcage were

changed when the project

was revisited. That includes

the plan, elevation, new

metal panel and stucco

wall changes.

Typical Floor Plan - The complete approved !oor plan with detail to meet new F.A.R.

requirment.

Elevation - Elevation drawing to show the new building facade design.

BKL Museum

The new building site is currently located right next to

an existing factory. Our project is to create a modern

art museum which is highly energy efficient. The front

facade is constructed using a dual skin system. The

inner skin consist of a strucal glazed curtain wall with

openable windows. The outer skin is a layer of poly -carbonate with voides. The layering created an

interesting facades of voids and spaces while allow -ing air to penetrate freely to into the building.

During the night, the translucent facade glows. Not

only this allow a passer by a glimpse of the exhibits, it

alos cast interesting reflections on the reflecting water surface.

Site Analysis & Sun diagram - To calculate how sun is going

to a!ect the light source for the building interior.

Site Plan - Based on the Sun diagram, I can successfuly

locate the tree to limit the light source into the building.

Floor Plan - Simple "oor plan to show how light distributes

during day time.

I had adpoted a simple site strategy in this

design. I ‘ve allowed visual linkage from

the the visitor’s park towards the main

street. A welcoming landscape void is an

intended contrast along the heavily build

up street. The ground is opened up, letting

people use the ground, penetrating the

site. I had also implemented sun diagram

and summer/winter wind direction into the

site analysis in order be highly energy

efficient.

Section - A section drawing to show how vistiors come from the street.

Elevation - An elevation showing the back side of the building.

Rendering - A simple rendering of the interior column texture.

Ecologically sustainable development diagram(ESD) - A diagram showing how cool air goes in and how hot air goes out.

The interior columns are cladded with bright

orangey panels integrated with lighting and

artifacts display panels. The bright orange

exercise aims to incorporate the principles of

the ecologically sustainable development

(ESD). The proposal encourages low energy

passive heating and cooling strategies in

Coffee Shop

This was my 2nd year site planning

class project. We were asked to design

a coffee shop to create an evolution

in the manner how people interacts to

the building location and prescence,

how they respond to the context. The

coffee shop will evolve in responce to

movement and introduction of new

programatic elements.

Model - A model to understand how the space relate to the enviroment of the building.

Floor Plan - Simple diagram the usage of each spaces.

Initial scratch

This is one of the project of my

first 3D rendering class. The render-

ing is done in Autocad 07. The

water ripples were done using a

bump map on the fresnel water

shader in photoshop. The goal of

this project is to recreate real-time

reflection, shade, texture and

lighting effect as close as to the

Barcelona Pavillion done by using

Autocad 3D software.

Barcelona Pavillion

Interior rendering - Key elements are ceiling reflection,

texture on material.

Exterior rendering - Key elements are lighting effect, background, and water ripple effect.
