JANNA DE VERA  

THE COMPLETE
PORTFOLIO



Hi! My name is Janna De Vera, a fifth-year undergraduate student majoring in architecture at the University of Southern California. My journey into the realm of architecture began with building legos as a child, and has evolved into the creation of sophisticated models throughout my collegiate experience. 

Committed to a pursuit of excellence in education and hands-on learning, I am driven to cultivate a profound understanding of design, technology, and human behavior. My academic journey has not only equipped me with a strong foundation but has instilled in me a resolute commitment to continuous improvement. As I embark on the transition to the professional realm, I am eager to apply my existing skills while actively seeking opportunities to acquire new competencies that will contribute to the dynamic field of architecture. 

I am enthusiastic about the prospect of leveraging my knowledge and skills to make meaningful contributes in the workforce as well as the built environment. Welcome to my portfolio, cataloguing all my work from the past four years, I hope you enjoy.

08 COLLABORATIVE LIVING: THE BLOCK HOUSE



FALL 2020
ANDREW KOVACS STUDIO

Partner: Clarisse Cao
Heavily inspired by Ryue Nishizawa’s Moriyama House (2005), my partner and I designed a playful dwelling for collaborative living. In addition to the Moriyama House, we took inspiration from children’s blocks and playgrounds to create a playful environment for its tenants. It’s targeted for young artists in hopes of sparking creativity in all aspects through unconventional design elements like playful amenities such as a slide into a ball pit, a cloud-shaped pool, and colorful, funky outdoor furniture. The design exemplifies the contrast between orthogonality and haphazardness through module shaping and placement, facade design, and landscaping.
