BLACKSBURG PUBLIC LIBRARY
PROJECT OBJECTIVE: Re-imagine the existing Blacksburg Public Library into a space that the community uses more frequently. Ensure that the spaces are acoustically appropriate and improve visibility throughout the space for members of the library as well as the staff.
CONCEPT: The concept that books can allow it’s reader to transcend physical limits and escape into a world different from their own was used to develop the design for this space. The library will not only provide the community with the books that can take them to places unimaginable, but also provide services to its members that surpass the current resources available.
A third year collaborative project with Taylor Renaud. 4

TUBULAR OATS
PROJECT OBJECTIVE: Design a retail store in Mission Bay, California that appeals to members of the community between the ages of 20 and 50 years old. Ensure that proper corridor sizes are used.
CONCEPT: This retail store caters to individuals who want customized breakfast blend cereals and granola mixes. Tubular Oats provides an environment where the customer is in control of their experience and product. The tube in Tubular Oats is represented by the various storage containers and circular motifs throughout the space.
A second year collaborative project with Lauren Walwur, Aileen De La Ree and Jon Pavalik. 12
Oat Tube Station
The geometry of the oat was used to develop the space planning for this retail space. By creating a circular pathway for customers, a natural flow is created.

NEXT HUB
PROJECT OBJECTIVE: Design a higher education space in Washington, DC that would serve as an extension of NEXT University. This space would serve the students who are enrolled in online coursework to gather and engage with others doing the same.
CONCEPT: Growing despite boundaries, trees and other natural plants continue to thrive in urban environments because of their ability adapt to their surroundings and develop beyond their barriers. This process is known as biological weathering and lends itself to the NEXT Hub design in several ways. The resilient plants in this situation are representational of the students who are using this space as a means of growth and development. NEXT Hub and it’s resources will allow for individuals to push beyond life’s challenges and better themselves as employees and members of society.
