Nantucket Compound
This pavilion-style compound reinterprets the classic Nantucket cedar-shingle home through a distinctly modern lens. Comprised of eight interconnected gabled volumes, the residence utilizes a deliberate network of walkways to create seamless, functional transitions between its sophisticated, minimalist interiors and the surrounding waterfront landscape.
Inside, sun-washed living spaces are intentionally human-scaled and inviting. A clean, streamlined material palette provides a quiet, restrained backdrop, artfully balanced by bold contemporary artwork and soft, tonal furnishings. The result is an elegant, high-performance sanctuary designed for effortless coastal living.
Nantucket Pavillion
Embodying a traditional shingle-style exterior with a serene, minimalist interior, this guest house maximizes a compact footprint without sacrificing sophistication or functionality. The design utilizes a highly flexible layout to ensure every square foot is fully utilized. At its center, a sun-lit, multi-functional room seamlessly transitions from an inviting living and lounging area by day to a quiet, private bedroom sanctuary by night. The result is a high-performance, space-optimized retreat that balances elegant aesthetics with smart, versatile living.
Bahama Compound
Though currently unrealized, this proposed modern Bahama residence showcases our core philosophy: balancing form and function to perfect a client's specific needs. Embodying its regional vernacular with clean white stucco and a traditional Bermuda roof, the compound delivers resort-like functionality and absolute privacy.
The estate is organized into a series of distinct pavilions, each meticulously scaled to house a dedicated program. These individual volumes are seamlessly linked by a continuous deck that provides shaded, elegant walkways, effortlessly merging indoor utility with private outdoor living. It stands as a testament to intentional, high-performance design.
ABOUT ME
I have spent the last 13 years proving that architectural excellence doesn’t live inside a box—even when I’m designing one.
As a multidisciplinary architect and designer, my career has been defined by a refusal to be bound by traditional constraints. Whether I am leading the development of multimillion-dollar private compounds and luxury hospitality projects or reimagining the future of housing through modular systems, my approach remains the same: Design is a tool for solving complex problems through innovation.
My experience spans the full lifecycle of high-stakes architecture, from the conceptual "what if" to the technical "how to." My portfolio includes:
Luxury & Hospitality: Leading project management for high-end residences and hotels where "good enough" is never an option.
Innovative Workspaces & Restaurants: Crafting environments that balance aesthetic impact with operational efficiency.
Modular Systems: Currently pushing the boundaries of construction at Reframe Systems, where I apply a designer’s eye to the scalability of modular housing.
I am a RISD-trained architect who believes the best solutions are found when we look beyond the immediate site or budget. I don’t just manage projects; I curate experiences and engineer solutions that challenge the status quo.
I’m always looking to connect with fellow thinkers, innovators, and anyone who believes that the most interesting designs happen when you stop following the rules and start rewriting them.
