WELCOME TO M.M. DESIGNS

THE SAN FELASCO EXPEDITION

Award winning project designed for Mitch Glaeser with the intention of bridging his project "San Felasco Tech City" across US 441, to inhabit part of the San Felasco Hammock Reserve. Working alongside An Tran and Jithin Gopinadhan, we have developed a design encompassing the world's largest indoor rock-climbing wall. The rock wall measures up to 135 ft tall, and envelopes one the tower's main cores. This tower connects to Tech City through a pedestrian overpass that we have also designed. Our overpass allows an easier connection to the various bike trails offered in the Hammock reserve, which are famous for their annual Tour de Felasco competitions. Among 12 groups, our team won third place in Mitch Glaeser's competition.

CDN HEADQUARTERS

Working alongside Noah Amico, we have developed a new center hub for The Clinical Directors Network in New York City. The CDN currently operates lacking the facilities for research and collaboration, and are forced to outsource through the Rockefeller Center for Clinical Research and the 
Weill Cornell Medical College and Clinical Science Center. We proposed a new location on the corner of 2nd ave and 63rd st, within a half mile radius of Rockefeller and Cornell schools and medical facilities. We provide office spaces and research laboratories necessary for their projects, while also providing a sustainable and lively workplace with outstanding views of the city. 

DANCE INSTITUTE OF CHARLESTON

This design houses a new institute for dance majors, as well as it's own black box theater for home performances. It serves as a new attraction in Charleston, SC where locals and tourist are both welcome. The open corner location not only helps break away from the urban grid, but also invites oncoming pedestrians into the space. The facade was inspired from the movements of dancers. Following different types of choreography, I wanted to capture the way a dancers’ feet meet the ground while also giving the facade a practical use by framing views through voids. The voids represent both leaps within a choreography, as well as a practical use to attract people to the site.
