Architectural Designer LEks Ebue
Greetings
My name is Alexis, or Leks, and I am a graduate from the University of Miami School of Architecture. I am ecstatic about creating new spaces, providing new experiences, and gaining new skills on my architectural endeavors. I value designing sustainably, contextually, and creating something impactful in every project.
I am a huge fan of all forms of art - architecture being one of course. Outside of the studio, I like to indulge in my other art forms: dance and martial arts. I have been enrolled in martial arts class since I could walk and currently hold two black belts- one in karate and one in taekwondo. I also have been dancing and competing since high school.
I like to think of myself as a logician and a creative.

The building aims to reduce the carbon foot print from construction to use through the use of sustainable materials, sustainable building methods, and of course designed with an ecologically efficient lifestyle in mind.

Park C.E.L.L.
Park C.E.L.L. is a three story commercial project that aims to create new community and learning spaces and an update to the already beloved skatepark. The goal of this studio was the create a large scale commercial project that was conscious of several factors: climate, usage, and demographics.
The Center of Environment, Learning and Leisure, otherwise known as The C.E.L.L., was designed with the Miami Beach experience in mind. This youth center not only highlights the importance of educatiion, but more importantly, emphasizes the importance of the natural environment and ways to take care of it.
