This is an absolutely amazing project.  Well done.  Clearly, you have put in a significant amount of research, thought and production.  There is a wonderful evolution visible in your design process.  Your use of reference images and the analysis of what you find interesting about each is extremely advanced.  It is important to use critical thinking, and not simply whether you do or do not like something.

Overall, your images are strong, the renderings are appealing and your plans/sections are readily understood.

A couple of things to consider as you continue your very promising career.  It is okay for you to use hand sketches or quicker study computer models to rapidly consider different design solutions.  While there is a process visible between the development of your design and the final, if it is more about the level of detail in the renderings, as opposed to the design choices you have made, then you have missed an opportunity to bring the viewer to your conclusion.

Another minor point is to be sure to include scale figures. You have used in the develop design phase, but not within the final.  Figures help drawings have scale.

Keep up the hard work that is on display here.  The sky is the limit for you.
