This Library & Laundromat involves the redesign of an existing building on Coolidge Avenue in the Frogtown neighborhood of Los Angeles. The new space was designed using multiple circular shapes, to create new and different experiences for people while their clothes are being washed.

The first section shows the overall building from the entrance to the lobby area, the washer and dryer spaces, and the library. The second section shows the library as well as small seating areas.

These exterior views show the main entrance of the laundromat, where multiple seating is available for the customers.

This project proposes the redesign of an existing building located at 556 Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles. The building will hold both co-living and co-working spaces, with multiple shared amenities for its residents. There are 18 living units on the top two levels in different sizes to accommodate a wide range of residents. The main feature of this building is a void throughout its entirety. The void creates an open area for sustainable gardens as well as work spaces. There are many benefits to sustainable gardening beside availability of the produce to residents, including less reliance on watering and chemical or pesticide use.

The cross-section shows the 4th and 5th level garden/workspace, as well as residential units.

The user diagram and isometric diagram show the circulation, unit sizes, garden/work spaces, and overall void within the building.

The LACC Dance Center is located at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue. This five-story building consists of different, overlapping shapes. The building's lobby is located on the first floor, where small teaching spaces can be found as well.

The longitudinal and cross sections show the teaching and administration spaces, dorms, and performance area.
