New Life from the Mud
University of Miami

The New Life in the Mud apartment complex aims to revolutionize the way we conceive shape and space in tropical environments. At the heart of its design is the principle of cross-ventilation, which encourages the flow of natural breezes through the living spaces, offering a sustainable cooling solution.
Adding another layer of sensory experience, the integration of foliage and live plants enriches every corner of the complex, bringing the essence of nature directly to the residents. High, curved windows grace the top floors, inviting an abundance of natural light while providing sweeping views of the surroundings.
My design explores novel approaches to spatial utilization and movement within living spaces. It also seeks to seamlessly integrate nature into the domestic environment. This vision represents the future of architecture and design, one that fosters a harmonious relationship between the built and natural worlds over time.
