UC Hastings Law Campus Housing, San Francisco, CA [While at Perkins&Will]

6/12/2020

 
For a final push into 95% CD, I was ask to help the Hastings Team clean up some sheets of the set.  I was assigned the vertical circulation sheets, which I completed and documented.

Internet Security Company HQ, Sunnyvale, CA [While at GS Design]

11/11/2018

 
The portions of the building facing the public roadways represent the web, with its chaos and vulnerabilities: the braced, irregular, glazed facade is built at the minimum allowed setback on the South and East edges of the site, and it contains the office spaces with the executive penthouse on the top floor.  Glare is reduced using darkened glass, while on the south there are also louvers. The green roof helps cooling the building during the hot periods of the year.
On the west side, a massive, double walled mechanical concrete "Spine" functions has a figurative protection for the courtyard and the rest of the site, occupied by other existing buildings of the same company. The "Spine" holds most of the mechanical and service elements of the building, and on the West side its dark color and uniform large surface absorbs the sun radiations and prevents the office spaces from overheating.  Additional heat exchange can be achieved by running water systems within the large concrete mass.
Two separate blocks are cladded in solar panels and provide opportunity for separate elements of the program: on the South, the Executive Briefing Center, while on the North the underground Service yard, and the Amenity area.
The Solar Orchard lays in the inner court, and provides additional renewable power production, while its pool provides freshness and moisture to the communal amenity space.

Residence, The Sea Ranch, CA [While Consulting]

6/28/2018

 
Working closely with our client (Steven Steinberg), who provided the SD set of drawings, I produced the DD and CD sets for this single family residence, modeled and documented in Revit.

Trinity Place IV Lobby 100%DD, San Francisco, CA [While Consulting]

1/17/2018

 
I was hired to create the Revit model for this lobby interiors, by BAMO, and to produce the 100%DD set. The given material was a SketchUp model and a Schematic PDF presentation.

Vacation Residence, Panama [While Consulting]

5/29/2017

 
We were retained by a renowned San Francisco firm, focusing on hospitality, as BIM consultants to begin the modeling of this complex home, located on a small island off the coast of Panama. The challenging roof shape was the focus of the client's design effort and that is where we spent most modeling hours. After a Schematic Phase, I begun to also visualize the residence, to help the client verify the aesthetics they had selected for the project.
To simulate an irregular wood constructions, I built some special beam and column families which where then randomly "flexed" and "disturbed" with a Dynamo script. This produced the look of irregular lumber throughout the house's structure (see especially the interior  renderings).
After the renderings and photo-montages produced for different client's presentations, I also produced a couple of  study animations for this house.

Vacation Residence, Panama

Menlo Gateway, Menlo Park, CA [While at Heller Manus]

5/10/2016

 
This 200,000 SF office building has a fairly complex curtain wall geometry which required a careful review of the curtain wall submittal during CD and CA.  In fact, several in-s and out-s, together with convex and concave corner conditions, in both horizontal and vertical directions, created challenging curtain wall details.  I produced studies of some of these conditions for client approval and contractor clarification purposes, especially around the main entry lobby. I have also produced some studies for the interior of the main lobby. Other tasks for this project included amendments of the CD set to include detailed area calculations, and miscellaneous shell plan revisions.

500 Pine (Lobby), San Francisco, CA [While at Heller Manus]

2/24/2016

 
When asked to help with the CD of this lobby, I developed the details for the security desk backlit LED panel cladding, the folding GFRG ceiling, and the stone cladding. I was also able to identify issues with the framing of the dropped ceiling being built, and point out to the contractor the inconsistency with the CD set.

350 Bush St., SF Mining Exchange, San Francisco, CA [While at Heller Manus]

2/2/2015

 
This high-rise tower is designed to be erected on top of the former San Francisco Mining Exchange building, a Neo-classic Greek temple facade with a richly decorated interior hall structure to be preserved and restored. I have been working as the Senior Building Professional on the CD set, and as Revit Specialist and designer for the Mining Exchange, the historical portion of the project.
Below, an animation I produced from the Revit model.

Mule Creek Infill Complex, Ione, CA [While at HOK]

9/5/2014

 
The Mule Creek Infill Complex Project is a design-build, stipulated sum project with a contract value of approximately $330 million. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) project includes 544,000 SF of new construction, spread across 23 individual buildings. The scope of work, adjacent to the active, high-security Mule Creek State Prison, includes the mass excavation of over 1,000,000 cubic yards of material, all new site utilities and systems to support the new complex and over one mile of lethal electrified fencing.
For this project I have first participated in the Competition and then I was in the team that developed the project from DD through 100% CD. I was the BIM manager for the HOK office. I have also produced some renderings for marketing purposes.

535 Mission St. lobby, San Francisco [While at HOK]

11/1/2013

 
For this high-rise building I have helped with the Bulletin #4, issued for the street lobby. In particular, I have remodeled and documented the elevator alcoves with their wood and stone paneling. I have also revised the RCP and other Revit drawings.

Highland Hospital, Inc.4 and Inc.5, Oakland, CA [While at Shah Kawasaki]

9/26/2013

 
I was hired by Shah Kawasaki to work with the Construction Administration team for this large hospital project. One of the major tasks of the team involved the production and delivery of ACDs (Amended Construction Drawings). Some sheets for ACD 033 follows in the gallery below.

Marin County Residence, CA [With Charles M. Stewart]

7/10/2012

 
This project proposed an addition to an existing chalet in Mill Valley. The addition was composed of a expanded open kitchen, double height dining space, and a remodeled living room.

Marin County Residence, CA [While at StewartΣSucci]

3/31/2011

 
After the Schematic Design phase was completed by the the initial architect, we took over the design development of this interior remodeling, eventually producing the Planning Review set, and the Permit Set.

Contra Costa County Residence Remodel, CA [While at StewartΣSucci]

8/20/2010

 
For this existing home, the client asked us to design a number of different items: the living room, the family room, the staircase, and the front and back yards. In the backyard, we also designed a new, detached  wine cellar.

Richardson Concourse Renovation, Winnipeg, MB [While at Stantec]

2/25/2010

 
These renderings were produced for the interior remodeling of an existing mall.

Edmonton Oilers Arena, Northlands, Edmonton [While at Stantec]

8/12/2009

 
After I was involved in the late master plan design and visualization for a proposed new Oilers arena, while at Stantec, I decided to pursue my original concept of the "swirling" open plaza (from the north) and green park (from the south) that generate the geometry of the arena itself, at their intersection. The arena has two concrete, organic wings: one perforated to become a large truss, to the north and east; and one more solid, to the south and west. The perforated, glazed wing allows both for a visual connection with the large plaza to the north, and northern light to flood the circulation galleria within it.

Fox Playa Vista Campus, CA [While at Stantec]

2/13/2009

 
For this TI project I supported the production of Revit documents for the architectural team. I was then asked to create graphics that would emphasize the multidisciplinary nature of the Stantec team, which encompassed architecture and MEP components. The resulting image is a diagramatic rendering of the architectural and mechanical Revit model which was produced for the delivery of the project.

Sharp Grossmont ADA rooms, San Diego, CA [While at Stantec]

12/9/2008

 
This was a visualization task, for the remodeling of hospital rooms.

AIG San Francisco Headquarters, CA [While at Chong]

9/24/2008

 
I was placed on this project mainly as Revit team support leader, but then I took on the design and documentation of the board room, which was never built.

Sacramento Railroad Yard, Performing Arts Center [While at Chong Partners]

6/29/2008

 
The Chong Partners Sacramento office proposed this project for the Performing Arts Center and School, together with residential and commercial components. The redevelopment site is the old Sacramento Railroad yard with its brick and steel historic industrial buildings. After the initial master planning, Chong Partners developed a schematic design for the Performing Arts Center, which included a 1600 seats theater. I participated in the schematic design of the whole site, but then focused on the theater and plaza, further developing the facade, the lobby/foyer, and their relationship with the adjacent public space.

Dominican Hospital, Santa Cruz, CA [While at Chong Partners]

12/27/2007

 
For this hospital remodel, I was asked to render the lobby and cafeteria. After construction was completed, the photographer took images from the same angles as the renderings.

Mission Bay Block 26A Reception Desk, San Francisco [While at Chong Partners]

9/25/2007

 
Rendering produced in MAX, using 3D models from Sketchup and Revit.

San Francisco General Hospital, Entry Pavillion [While at Chong Partners]

5/11/2007

 
This project was part of a competition’s entry for SFGH master plan, in partnership with SmithGroup, San Francisco office. After a preliminary team space planning, I began the design of the entry pavillion, to be nested between the brutalist modern hospital to the East, the new replacement tower (unbuilt) to the West, and the neo-romanesque, red brick and terracotta building to the South-West. For the competition, most effort was spent on the main waiting lobby and the front desk areas, which were to provide a welcoming entry point from two distinct directions: South (from the garage and vehicular drop-off) and West (the pedestrian entry from Potrero Ave.).
After the submission of the competition I focused on the design of the entry pavillion. With its dramatic double height slanted glazed wall, this space provides an ample seating area, a cafe’, a corner for a large art piece, and the West entrance to the hospital. Below the interior glazing of the community room on the second floor, a dropped cloud ceiling helps to define the circulation toward the front desk. Materials include exposed aggregate sand blasted concrete for the columns, glossy two-colors terrazzo for the pavements, wood veneer paneling for the custom cabinetry, painted steel cable bracings and tube columns for the curtain wall, and horizontal terracotta tiles for accent walls.

Westfield Galleria at Roseville, CA [While at Gensler]

6/22/2006

 
This 242,317 Sq.Ft. leasable area addition project includes the expansion of Macy's, JCPenney, and Sears, space for 100 new stores, 2 parking garages, a new 50% bigger dining terrace consisting of 820 seats, relocation of Crate & Barrel, and numerous changes to the Promenade. In particular, a new and enhanced indoor shopping promenade was designed, completed with three major spatial nodes: the South node, the new Main Entry space, and the North node. I have been involved since schematic design thru 100% Construction Documents. In the early phase of design, I developed a Revit model whose exports made up for over 75% of the entire pricing set for the project. Later, during design development and CD phases, I focused on the main entry node, with its glazed moment frame toward the exterior plaza, the large canopy, and the pedestrian bridge at the second level.

Castrillo residence, Redwood City, CA [While at GS Design]

1/10/2006

 
This existing one story cottage was expanded by 700SF by adding a second floor. Besides all the documentation required to obtain the city permits, and the exterior renderings of the proposed project, I have also produced some studies for the kitchen.
