In today’s society, the subscription business such as Netflix and Spotify is very popular. In this studio, we were asked to create a building that the public can subscribe to. To do this, we had to create our own subscription product and incorporate it into an architectural form. The concept of this residential building located in the Pearl District in Portland, Oregon was inspired by the local community and its interest in health and wellness programs and lifestyle. This eight story residential building provides tenants with access to a gym, with workout classes, a restaurant and café with healthy food options included with their “subscription fee” of rent. We used the WELL Certification as a guideline on what to include in a health and wellness subscription building. 5
Crystal Concept Subscription Architecture is exploring multi-use building typologies in a flexible sense, by using the building as an ecosystem of diverse uses available only to its “subscribers”. Unlike ordinary mixed use buildings, our concept focuses on the aspect of membership. If you “subscribe” to an apartment unit, you will become part of a community that involves like minded individuals who want to better themselves physically, mentally and have access to the health and wellness facilities that are on the property. The program is aligned with WELL Certification values to encourage and emphasize physical and mental health.

Crystals represent the idea of whole body wellness, not just physical wellness that people first think of with the words health and wellness We incorporated the central core of the building to symbolize the restorative nature and overall wellness the residents and users of the building. It symbolizes the idea that the central “core” idea of the building is to promote health seen and unseen.

02 Downtown Eugene
Affordable Housing
Summer 2019 | Studio Critic: Lyndsey Deaton The Greyhound Bus Station in Downtown Eugene is a streamline modern historical building that was the hub for transportation since 1949. After 78 years, the Greyhound Bus Station has relocated, leaving behind the historical building. Based on research of the Downtown Eugene area, we see a need for affordable housing options. In order to stimulate the area, I designed a multi-use space with commercial and retail spaces in addition to housing. I added a courtyard and outdoor public spaces to the area, as the closest public square is located a couple blocks away to the north east of the site. By bringing more life and spaces for social interaction into the Downtown area, it will promote more people to come to Downtown Eugene. My design intent saves the historical building facade and bus bay while adding more modern forms on top for housing. I set back the additional floors to highlight the strong, unique corner that the original building had. The shifting rectangular forms for the housing provides balcony space for the housing units and a multitude of different views. The shifting floors also lets those who don’t want a balcony to still view and interact with the public square below. 11
Shifting Floors The floors in this project shift ever two levels, to show movement and dimension to the building facade. The two floors shift together as a unit to emphasize the shifting boxes. It is designed this way to provide different social environments to each apartment unit and private balconies. Tenants can either have interaction on the street or in the interior courtyard.

03 LGBTQ Incluseum Winter 2018 | Studio Critic: Solmaz Kive This building is designed to be located in Springfield, Oregon and act as a LGBTQ+ Community Center. It welcomes the general community no matter how they identify. We were asked to redesign an old building to become an educational and inviting safe space for all LGBTQ+ members and allies. The main concept for this design is to divide the building linearly into three main “zones�. These three zones organize the museum layout, with the gallery space, the event hall and other museum amenities. The gallery space is a curved walkway with a center curved wall display. This forces the visitor to follow a specific pathway throughout the exhibition, where they have the opportunity to branch out into different rooms and then continue the journey on the curved path. This makes the gallery visitor experience having to conform to a path, with the uncertainty of what the future holds. This curve influences the facade of the building and the social lounge spaces. 17

04 Dexter Lake Boat House
Spring 2018 | Studio Critic: Siobhan Rockcastle
I was inspired by the trees and views of the Dexter Lake Site. The goal for the boat house is to create a building where each space is linked together by a continuous expansive view of the lake where rowing practices, as well as race competitions take place can be seen wherever you are in the building. The building is divided into 4 sections through ceiling height and subtle level changes. The building also has a circular circulation to allows one to have the views of a plot of trees that are planted in the center of the building from any part of the building. The common theme throughout the building is vertical wood panels that frame each window and repeated through columns and beams. This also imitates the tree trunks found around the site. The building has easy access to docks as well as the parking lot. I chose to locate my boat house among the denser plot of trees on the west side of the lake where I think is more private for the UO rowing team, master rowers and spectators. 21

05 Sunset Bench Spring 2017 | Project Partner: Brian Krall An outdoor seating system that accommodates various activities. This parametric bench was created using a Grasshopper script. This woven park bench is constructed out of purple recycled plastic material. The woven pattern allows the bench to have good ventilation and sun exposure. It also creates interesting shadows to enhance the user’s experience. 26
