Architectural Portfolio:
Spaces Designed for People
Welcome to my architectural portfolio. I design spaces for people, spaces that balance aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability across residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial sectors. Below are selected stories that demonstrate how I turn complex architectural challenges into meaningful, elegant solutions.
Residential: VR-Enhanced Condo Renovation
SWICH DESIGN
Reimagining a Dated Condo for Modern Living
This comprehensive interior renovation breathed new life into a tired condominium, transforming it into a vibrant, functional space tailored to the client's needs.
Pioneering a VR-First Approach
As lead designer and project manager, I leveraged cutting-edge VR technology to create immersive walkthroughs. This allowed the client to experience the space before construction, streamlining decision-making and reducing costly change orders.
The renovation included a kitchen relocation, custom floor-to-ceiling concealed doors, the addition of new bedrooms and a primary bathroom - all designed to maximize the existing footprint.
VR visualization empowered the client to envision the final result, ensuring a seamless renovation process.
Residential: Desert Sustainable Home
SWICH DESIGN
Designing for a Lifetime
Create an oasis of comfort and sustainability for an active couple in their golden years, optimized for the hot, arid climate while minimizing energy use.
Harnessing Nature's Power
Innovative sustainable solutions include strategic orientation for passive cooling, deep shading elements, and cross-ventilation planning. High thermal mass walls, low-e glazing, and continuous insulation further enhance energy efficiency.
Adapting to Changing Needs
An accessible primary suite on the main level, simplified circulation paths, and adaptable spaces ensure this home can support the couple's evolving mobility requirements as they age in place.
Residential: Reviving the Old
SWICH DESIGN
Breathing New Life into a 1938 Gem
I revitalized a long-vacant residence, expanding it from 2,200 to 4,700 square feet. By leveraging Revit and 3ds Max with Vray, I transformed this historic property into a modern masterpiece, preserving its original charm while adding contemporary comforts and amenities.
The permit-ready documentation and photo-realistic renderings I provided turned this project into a lucrative turnkey development opportunity, attracting multiple offers from eager buyers.
Residential Projects Samples
Designing a home is an intimate experience, and many homeowners prefer to keep that journey discreet.
Privacy is paramount, so most of my work stays confidential
The design process remains personal even when the results can’t be publicly displayed.
Commercial Projects Samples
Many of the commercial spaces I’ve designed were completed while I was part of other firms.
Out of respect for those collaborations, and the clients’ confidentiality, I showcase only a small selection here, without names or details.
