My responsibilities included the entirety of partition schedule, the entirety of ceiling details, wall details, skylight details, finish schedule & door schedule, coordination with architects of record, structural and MEP.

  • Incorporated fire marshal’s notes for single family residential project sited on 4 divided lots totaling 61,007 SF in SD phase I pushed the project forward and refined the overall design, taking the project into DD phase within a month.

  • Worked through SD phase on a 3,668 SF private residential project sited on uneven bedrocks and waterlines; supervised under project architect and attended the bi-weekly client meetings. I did code researching, translated point cloud raw data to Revit topography and analysed the limitations imposed upon the project by the site condition.

I had the height limits under close observation and continuously recalculated and monitored the project FAR with every design iteration, ensured the design to progress under building code.
