Creating An Elementary School

Objective: Creating an elementary school for grades K-5. We were provided with a 2 level floor plan and specific programming guidelines, which allowed us to design a school that addressed perceived gaps in current educational facilities. The process began with research and precedent studies, followed by the design phase.

Handmade 3D Models

FF&E Specifications &

Construction Documents

Objective: Finding an apartment floor plan online and recreating it in Revit as an introduction to the software. This project involved building the model, developing an FF&E schedule, and making design decisions with complete control over the facility's purpose and layout. Through this process, I gained experience in digital modeling, spatial planning, and material selection while strengthening my understanding of Revit’s capabilities.
