TUNDRA House

TUNDRA HOUSE | RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY 2021 | Studio B Architecture + Interiors | Site: Carbondale, CO Lead Designer: Pre-Design through Design Development

Tundra House is a serene retreat on a prominent ridge-top site above Carbondale, CO. With its south-facing orientation, the residence offers panoramic views of Sunlight Mountain, Chair Mountain, and Mt. Sopris. The house consists of three distinct volumes, designed for optimal functionality and privacy. The central volume contains the main communal gathering spaces, and the flanking volumes contain private bedroom suites. The plan supports a seamless circulation path which provides the required storage and service elements for the adjacent spaces. Upon entering the house, an enclosed courtyard and see-through vestibule welcome guests. Carved openings in the mass walls lead to the heart of the home, where expansive glass frames the mountain vistas. The house's design allows for a progression of sunlight through skylights, clerestory windows, and floor-to-ceiling windows, creating an interplay of light and shadow throughout the living spaces. This dynamic integration of natural light enhances the overall experience, fostering a sense of onnection to the outdoors. A cantilevered roof shades the south-facing windows and surrounding porches, creating a balance between maximizing views and providing shelter. At the southern portion of the site, a small art studio is buried into the earth to not impede views from the main house. As the site sharply drops away, the end of the buried art studio is revealed, and cantilevers over the valley below. The design ethos of Tundra House embraces simplicity and elegance, with a material palette of concrete, warm wood floors and ceilings, steel, and glass.

BRIDGE House

BRIDGE HOUSE| RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY SCHEMATIC DESIGN | 2022 - present | Studio B | Site: Leadville, CO Lead Designer: Pre-Design through Design Development

‘The Bridge House’ is a cabin that was designed in concert with a series of five other cabins on a vast site just outside of Leadville, CO. The structure spans a deep, naturally formed gully, allowing for very little intervention to the natural drainage and contours of the property. The building’s diagrammatic layout is guided by and responds to the scale of this unique site feature. On either side of the main gully the building is anchored to the site by the two guest bedrooms, allowing for the central living portion of the structure to fully float above the site. The core design concept for the structure and fenestration draws inspiration from the inherent rhythms found within the surrounding forest. Natural clearings of trees encourage social gatherings, while areas with greater densities create more intimate and private moments. The structure of the Bridge House pulls from these queues to define key interior spatial zones. Communal spaces are defined by larger openings, and the rhythm constricts towards the bedrooms, bathrooms, and closets. The interplay of light and shadow, a dance orchestrated by the sun's path through the forest, is captured within the cabin's interior. This dynamic interplay infuses the living spaces with an ever-changing ambiance, making each moment within the Bridge House a unique experience. In this way, structure, light, views, and programmatic needs are all intrinsically linked with the rhythms of the site.

HIGH Gardens

HIGH GARDENS | HIGH-RISE STUDIO VI | Spring 2020 | Prof: Osman Attman

Designed in collaboration with Jessica Luchak, High Gardens is a highrise proposal to stitch the downtown Denver urban fabric that is lacking on the corner of 15th and Champa Street. In an effort to merge this 790 foot tower into the city's skyline, the structure discretely blends into the context of the city and the sky. The visual separation of the tower responds to the mixed use program of the building. The user experiences connection through the public spaces intended for public & social interaction that bridge the gap between each program. Blending with the city by day and acting as a beacon of light by night, the tower makes a bold entrance to the community and the life of the city. The program, offices, hotel and residential, is stacked, alternating between public and private areas of the tower. This form creates opportunities to push sustainability and encourage connection to the outdoors. The design of the plans reflect flexibility and social interaction in the public areas. The private portions are designed to use the optimal amount of floor space within a structured layout. A double skin glazed façade to the private portions of the program to create less transparency prioritizing privacy; whereas a single pane curtain wall is applied to the public portions to emphasize a more flexible and open attitude within these spaces. These full use of glass ties the building and it’s activities together as one. The use of this double glazed facade system achieves a higher rating of sustainability by obtaining thermal and auditory comfort. This system will reduce air conditioning costs, and elimination of the need for window-specific technologies.

ECO House

ECO-HOUSE | SUSTAINABILITY STUDIO V | Fall 2019 | Prof: Julie Herdt Half Moon Bay, CA

Designed as an eco-friendly small house located at the foothill of the Agramonte Ranch in Half Moon Bay, California, it is made from two 40ft shipping containers: a perfect retreat for researchers visiting the site. Seeking to blend the building into its surrounding, it “emerges” from the ground, creating a continuity between nature and architecture The small house can be distinguished by a break through its center, where the two shipping containers are side by side in a sheer position, creating a larger central area. This difference of levels differentiates the private and public space within a single enclosure. The living room and bedroom features an entirely glass end wall which opens towards forest’s views, producing a visually arboreal experience pushing the wet areas towards the back of the house. It is accessible through an outside deck with views at the level of the foliage of trees. Sustainability goes hand in hand with materiality: BioSips® for thermal insulation & building envelope; Extreme Green® paneling for finishing; reclaimed wood for the exterior rain screen and deck recovered from the site. Finally, a green roof planted with native plants sits above, providing additional thermal insulation & rainwater filtration for the use of grey waters.

COTTONWOOD Gulch Cabins

CABIN LUCY | COLORADO BUILDING WORKSHOP STUDIO IV Design Build | Spring 2019 | Prof: Rick Sommerfeld, William Koning, Andy Paddock, JD Signom Thoreau, NM

Designed by the Colorado Building Workshop, a group endeavor in which a group of 8 students designed a pair of cabins. I was part of the Construction Document’s team with a fellow student. These cabins are part of the Cottonwood Gulch Base Camp, a 540-acre nature preserve in the foothills of the Zuni Mountains in New Mexico. Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions sponsors educational wilderness expeditions and outdoor programs in the American Southwest. Cottonwood Gulch has a strong history and culture of fostering community; the cabins designs enhances that by utilizing the built environment and natural edges to shape spaces for congregating and bonding between campers and staff and by creating a site plan of a circular progression with one central hearth. The cabins provide a substantial connection to nature by creating large opening strategically placed to frame views to the surrounding natural environment creating a sensation of being outside while experiencing the comfort of the inside. A threshold outwards into the natural world is provided by integrating the porch into the design of each cabin. Growing from the established vernacular gable form, the new cabins act as an evolution of the surrounding typology. The cohort has employed timber as the primary building material as it allows the new cabin synthesis with its ancestors.
