Hello, I'm Betty, a recent graduate architect who is highly motivated and eager to take on new challenges. I have a strong work ethic, am flexible, and excel at building relationships. I'm also good at working independently and picking up new skills quickly. Additionally, I am confident in using Revit, Adobe Photoshop and Lumion to get my projects done.
RESIDENTIAL DESIGN- Apartments
The client wanted an eight-unit apartment with two bedrooms and a studio units. Each unit is a single-story space. I worked with the client to create a structure with clean contemporary lines and a modernist look. In concrete and stone, the structure uses modern building materials inside and out.
CHURCH DESIGN
A church project with a capacity of 300 people. The brief of the project are the auditorium, office, washrooms, classrooms and a storage
BLOCK FACTORY
The aim of this project was to design a block factory based on proposals made to tackle issues pertaining to the infrastructural development of the municipality. The design considerations for the project were, culture, climate, construction and sustainability.
RESIDENTIAL DESIGN-Nuclear Housing
The project's main objective was to provide low-income nuclear families with energy-efficient housing. Energy-saving techniques, sustainability, culture, construction, and climate were all taken into account during design. Blocks made of stabilized earth served as the primary building material. This material was readily available and energy efficient
EVENT CENTRE- M arch Thesis Project
The aim was to design a climate-responsive event center with all the essential amenities for holding events. The study area lacks the necessary infrastructure and facilities, such as theaters, multipurpose function spaces, conference spaces, and gallery exhibitions, hence the decline of the region's culture. The results of the findings revealed that poor ventilation and acoustics, poor security, and high theft rates deter residents from using existing event venues. Design Philosophy: Contextualism and Sustainable Architecture Design Theory: Biophillic design and ecological architecture Design Concept: Vernacular Architecture and Bioclimatic Design Form Formative Idea: Biomorphism
