Calibrated Environment
Retail, offices, hospitality, and housing do not share one pattern of use. This mixed-use tower translates occupancy, solar exposure, privacy, and views into decisions about program distribution, floor depth, setbacks, and the envelope.
My contribution focused on residential and office plans, façade design, and Revit/Grasshopper development. Floor plates and façade families were developed together to relate each program to its exterior edge and shared spaces.
The sequence moves from studio diagrams and plans to subsequent model studies of assembly, the occupied interior, and seasonal direct-sun exposure. The later studies explain spatial relationships and sampled geometric conditions; they do not establish annual daylight or energy performance.

Project overview
Daily schedules and environmental inputs establish the design sequence: program distribution, differentiated floor plates, and an envelope that responds to occupation.
Project image sequence
The envelope is read alongside the floor plate it serves, linking aperture, depth, privacy, and occupation.
Plan development and façade design are treated as one set of spatial decisions.
A subsequent model study isolates a representative portion of the building to explain component depth and spatial assembly.
The interior view relates the exterior system to the occupied floor. This is an exploratory model study.
Subsequent geometric study using Rhino Sun. The images compare direct-sun exposure under a common model setup; they are not an annual daylight or energy simulation. Weather, surrounding buildings, diffuse and reflected light, and glazing transmission are excluded.
