01 Shift at Queens Queens, New York
Shift at Queens establishes a lively and vibrant new urban presence in Queens. Bold, striking architectural volumes create visibility within the city and anchors the formation of a new amenity-filled neighborhood. The energy of the community flourishes around the park as the entrances to the CWC, the ECEC, the Residential tower, and retail are all situated around it. Shifting then occurs volumetrically, supported by a simplified grid of Glulam columns and beams supporting CLT floor plates structuralize the shifting forms. Shifting on the base of the towers occurs on every other floor allowing for terraces to respond to specific program elements. The shifting of volumes changes to a more intimate scale for the residential tower, creating terraces unique to corresponding residential units while the structure is expressed through the CLT panel exterior facade. The office tower across the park, in contrast, shifts on a community based scale where every fourth floor has a public terrace amenity, exposing the structure through a striking glass curtain wall. Inspired by the industrial nature of Queen’s and the existing building on site, Terra Cotta panels and CLT panels shift on the base levels to designate entry thresholds. The unique steel and glulam zipper truss system allows the mass timber structure to span across large open spaces.

TRUSS SYSTEM The mass timber buildings on site rely on a structural system of glulam columns and beams that support CLT floor plates. A distinctive steel and glulam zipper truss system allows the mass timber structure to span across vast open spaces. The aim with this truss and the utilization of wood and steel hybrid structural systems throughout the program was to bring a unique identity to major programmatic elements.

Materials The choice of materials was inspired by the industrial nature of Queens. TerraCotta Rainscreen clads the bases of the three proposed buildings making reference to the former home of the NY Architectural Terra-Cotta Works. The residential tower located on top of the Community Wellness Center expresses its structure externally with its use of CLT panels. Across the park, the proposed commercial office tower stands in contrast. It exposes the structure internally through the use of glass curtain walls. This creates a visible relationship between public and private through the use of material expression. Material decisions were also determined by simplicity and mass construction efficiency. Dimensions of the residential tower were designed with average CLT panel sizes and Flatbed Trailer measurements in mind. Overall, Shift at Queens aims at bringing a unique, but cohesive urban community to the neighborhood.
02 Monie Bend
Monie Bay, Maryland
Monie Bend is designed for the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve on the eastern shore of Maryland. Inspired by the views of the marsh lands and natural resources on the site, the building aims to capture the views of the marsh lands and integrate the building within the site. Using a butterfly roof gives both the North and South facades the ability to act as fronts allowing the building to maximize on natural light while providing a solid angle for solar gain and a natural rainwater collection system. As a visitor arrives on site they are led through the marsh lands by a boardwalk that takes them on a learning opportunity as they approach the building. The building draws visitors to the marsh through an open breezeway that frames the view of Monie Bay. The breezeway acts as an outdoor gathering space for education and entertainment as it leads visitors to the grand porch, lobby, and private quarters. The building program is centralized around a central service core that allows for the north and south program spaces to maximize on the outdoor landscape surrounding the building.

04 Nature’s Cabin
Kickapoo State Park, Illinois
Proposal for a master plan of a community building and series of six sleeping cabins, including two that are ADA accessible. Kickapoo State Park was once Illinois’ largest coal mine and at its close, Kickapoo’s uneven landscape became one of central Illinois’ most popular nature parks. Through placing cabins centrally around one of Kickapoo’s main ponds, visitors can enjoy a private view of the pond and the nature surrounding it. The community building, designed for gatherings and visitor information, is placed at the end of the pond to allow for ease of access for visitors.

05 Urban Sites
Champaign, Illinois
Proposal for an urban live-work high-rise in the downtown district of Champaign, Illinois. While trying to tie in to the historical context of the downtown district, this residential high-rise provides a unique experience for its residents. By exposing the steel structure of the building, each floor of Urban Sites is provided with a curtain wall that moves with the privacy needs of each floor plan. The angled south wall allows for each resident to maximize on the views of Champaign while providing natural heat in the winter and protection from the harsh sun in the summer.

06 Abstract Design Through building abstract models from a variety of different materials and techniques, one can study the way abstract design can be influenced by it’s surroundings. The way light hits a model and projects its form provides a variety of abstract shadows surrounding the model as one of the many factors that can set the experience of a piece, just as different materials set a unique mood for the design, changing how the form is experienced. Abstract forms can stimulate the mind to creating a unique experience for the design of a building.
07 Professional Work Sample Bailey Edward, Champaign, Illinois
While working for Bailey Edward in Champaign, Illinois, one of my main projects has been an exterior preservation project on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s English Building. My role has been focused on the reconstruction of the roof while preserving main elements of this iconic building. From dissecting the past roof construction of this 1905 building to planning its current construction the building in now in the construction phase and I am excited to see the finished product in Summer 2018.
