Spring 2009 Architecture 10 weeks Bloomfield Hills, MI Individual
The Cranbrook Art Academy campus is a site filled with planning and architectural precedent. Because of its notable history, particular attention was devoted to analyze and design at three different scales; site, volume, and detail. For each scale, the highest priority was placed in the experience of the user. The given site on the Cranbrook campus was directly adjacent to the Todd Williams and Billie Tsien Natatorium.

Bath Section Perspective looking west
A Intentions at the site scale began with using three separate programmatic elements - dry, wet, and guest - to break down the large open space into a courtyard configuration based on the context of the campus. The guest program was elevated off the ground in order to create visual and spatial contrast. The final result is a gateway into the site that is reminiscent of the Saarinen gateway at the entrance of the academy. A B C D

Within each building, the intention was to juxtapose the different spaces in order to achieve experiential contrast. A threshold, with consistent material and light, was placed at the joint of each juxtaposed space in order to signal to the user that their experience is about to change. Below, the section cuts through a threshold revealing its connection between an enclosed, public passageway and an open, private meditation space.

Winter 2011 Architecture 6 weeks Moses Lake, WA Individual
This project began with four weeks of research into health and the built environment, resulting in the definition of an individual design problem. The following six weeks were devoted to a conceptual and tectonic exploration of the design problem. As a result of the research phase, my project sought to help reduce the mental and behavioral health issues of the immigrant farmworker community in Eastern Washington.

Exterior Perspective from adjacent road
Due to the numerous stressors in the life of a farmworker, mental and behavioral health issues are highly prevalent amongst farmworkers and their families. The proposed system utilizes a rotating mental health professional that provides counseling services in the therapy space of a community center. In the absence of the mental health professional, the center acts as a place of gathering, support, and education for the farmworker community. A B C

Spring 2012 Architecture 10 weeks Seattle, WA Group of 2
The homeless youth population in Seattle has seen a dramatic increase since the beginning of the economic recession in 2008. Due to an array of economic, social, and family problems, homeless youth in Seattle find themselves in the able hands of YouthCare. This studio was a studentfounded venture that acted as a visioning exercise for the organization. It showed YouthCare what was possible with a living/learning program and gave the student participants experience working with a real-world, non-profit client.

During the research and development phase of the studio, initial design concepts were being developed in model form. The final overall concept for the project focused on a transition space that acts as both a physical and experiential transition between the private residential program and the public learning program.

Fall 2012 M. Arch Thesis 10 weeks Mt. Vernon, WA Individual
The immigrant farmworker community in Washington encounters numerous obstacles to their well-being that are perpetuated by negative relationships with the local and consumer communities that depend on their labor. This thesis proposes a marketplace and knowledge coop that creates opportunities for farmworkers, locals, and consumers to mutually exchange their cultural experiences while embracing the similarities between them. In order to create an environment that is comfortable for all of these communities to interact, this thesis synthesizes the culturally contextual tectonics of the Pacific Northwest and Oaxaca, Mexico resulting in a place that meets the expectations of these communities while fostering a sense of comfort and familiarity.

Early design intentions focused on openness and creating a vibrant community landmark. After several iterations, a mass/frame synthesis of Oaxacan and Northwest tectonics was created. The frame is reminiscent of the sawtooth roof forms of Oaxacan markets and the single-sloping shed roofs of the Northwest. The mass of the vendor stalls draws from the masonry tradition of Mexico and the material context of historic downtown Mt. Vernon. A B C D

This project sought to address the well-being of the farmworker community through the lens of the built environment. Ultimately, this project focused on creating an environment that was familiar for not one community, but all residents of the Skagit Valley.
