Richmond Transit Village, California - Urban Revitalization & Renewal

		The importance of this inter-nodal transit project cannot be stressed further. The project integrates parcels around the Richmond BART (regional light rail) station to provide residential and mixed use opportunities. The scope of the project primarily involved architectural site planning - understanding city guidelines, easements, sound levels (trains), down to the individual unit design. Urban design studies using my 3d-modeling.
