Louise Nevelson–Inspired Skyscraper & Ground Design

Rhino Mixed-Use Conceptual

A formal vocabulary extracted from a focused area of Nevelson's sculpture, translated into facade composition and ground plane design — where artistic language and architectural function converge without either losing its integrity.

Beaver Lake Artist Retreat

Rhino Residential Site Design

A retreat campus along an existing Arkansas lakeside, weaving co-op studios, communal dining, individual cabins, and recreational space into a cohesive landscape shaped by the terrain and the rhythms of the creative life it was built to support.

Project 03

Interior Architecture: Light in Space

Revit Interior Lighting Systems

An investigation of light as a design medium — choreographing brilliance, task illumination, and ambient wash within an existing building to transform how a space is felt, not just seen.

By Hand

Sketching and marker rendering are where I think — not just document. These pieces represent the part of the design process that lives before the screen: observation, intuition, and line.

About

Alexander Oliva

Originally from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, I grew up drawn to both creativity and systems — a tension that architecture resolves perfectly. The discipline, to me, is not about imposing form but about asking why, repeatedly and rigorously, until a design earns its shape through intention rather than assumption.

I work most naturally by hand. Sketching and marker rendering are where I think, not just document, and that tactile process informs how I approach every project regardless of medium.

My instinct leans toward residential work and, especially, the transformation of existing spaces — renovation, conversion, adaptive reuse. There is something deeply compelling about a place already carrying history and use, and imagining it elevated: better light, better proportion, better purpose.

Currently based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, recently graduated from the University of Arkansas with a B.S. in Architecture, and actively looking to bring that design rigor into practice.
