Architecture Portfolio by Mayara Walter

P O RT F O L I O Mayara Walter A r c h i t e c t u r e 2 0 2 3 - 2 0 2 6 Architectural Technology Dominica State College A collection of architectural drawings, models & creative workI’m a recent Architectural Engineering graduate from the Dominica State College, born and raised in Dominica. I’ve always enjoyed creating things, whether that meant putting an idea onto paper, developing it digitally, or turning it into something physical. That interest eventually led me to study Architectural Engineering, where I had the opportunity to explore architectural design, technical drafting, physical modelling, and construction-related work. Throughout my time at DSC, I worked on a variety of projects that challenged me to think creatively, solve problems, work with others, and turn ideas into something tangible. Along the way, I also developed skills in both digital and hand-drafted architectural drawing, as well as model-making and other forms of creative work. This portfolio brings together some of the projects and work I’m most proud of. It represents not only what I’ve learned throughout my studies, but also my creativity, attention to detail, and desire to keep learning and improving as I begin the next chapter of my career. I'm excited to see where my skills, creativity, and curiosity take me next.

Main Building: Approx. 5,183 sq. ft. Tranquil Tides Eco Lodge was developed as a sustainable hospitality environment designed to integrate accommodation, shared amenities and circulation within a coastal setting. The project brought together a main building, multiple cabin types, parking, internal roads and supporting infrastructure across a 30,000 sq. ft. site. My primary responsibility was the design and documentation of the main building. The building was organized around three interconnected squares, creating a structured plan while giving the overall form its own character. Reception, waiting areas, dining spaces, kitchen facilities, management areas, bathrooms and other supporting functions were arranged around the needs of both guests and staff. The project was completed collaboratively and required the coordination of architectural drawings, site planning, perspectives and physical modelling. It became an opportunity to explore not only how a building functions on its own, but how individual buildings work together as part of a larger environment. 01 Portfolio ┃ Tranquil Tides Eco LodgeSITE / MASTER PLAN 01- Main building cabin 02- Single bedroom cabin 03- Double bedroom cabin 04- Triple bedroom cabin 05- Golf cart roads 06- Parking lot The master plan organizes the lodge's buildings, cabins, circulation, parking and supporting spaces within the coastal site. 01 02 03 04 05 06 02 Portfolio ┃ Tranquil Tides Eco LodgeMAIN BUILDING Plans Floor Plan The main building brings together reception, dining, administration, kitchen and supporting spaces within a compact arrangement developed from three interconnected square forms. 03 Portfolio ┃ Tranquil Tides Eco Lodge
