MLK JR. COMMUNICATION ARTS BUILDING Bowie, MD Perkins&Will, Project Architect, 2020-2023 Design Development + Construction Documentation Higher Education / New Construction Pursuing LEED Gold 2022 AIA DC Unbuilt Awards Honorable Mention
The new MLK Jr Communications Arts Building will contain multiple departments and programs that are currently accommodated within the existing Martin King Jr. (MLK) Center, which will be demolished. Project objectives include providing state-of-the art flexible and collaborative learning environments; specialized media production facilities, and departmental learning resources; faculty and administrative space to support interdisciplinary activity; and a 1500-seat assembly/auditorium space. Visual and spatial campus connections are emphasized through the placement of entries, relationships between interior and exterior landscapes, and especially through significant features including the north entry plaza and south courtyard amphitheater and the building inflection points of entry, interaction and exchange. The 1500-seat auditorium is the featured architectural element at the south end of the building. The façade of the auditorium continues the patterning and movement of the typical façade with adjustments in scale, scope, and openings based on the sound wave pattern of Martin Luther King’s acceptance speech on the occasion of receiving the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in December 1964. I directed sustainability, structural, MEP/FP, and BIM coordination for the building. Additionally I led the design, documentation, and technical coordination for 1,500 seat theater and stage, including reviewing base and alternate construction bids.

THE CHILDREN’S INN RENOVATION & ADDITION Betheseda, MD Perkins&Will, Project Architect, 2022-2023 Schematic Design + Design Development Hospitality / New Construction + Renovation Pursuing LEED Silver and WELL Silver
The Children’s Inn is a nonprofit organization that provides temporary housing children and their families who are undergoing medical treatment at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Children’s Inn currently consists of two existing adjoining buildings (Buildings 62 and 62A) providing a total of 60 guest rooms, office and meeting spaces, common spaces, and kitchens. The Children’s Inn has commenced a master plan of the existing facilities and a vision of a new scope of work for improved exterior site work, renovation of existing interior spaces, and a new building addition. The renovations to existing buildings will address program deficiencies, finish and fixture upgrades to common areas and guest room, and failing building infrastructure. The renovations will include new open plan office space, private offices, meeting rooms, break rooms on the first level. The main three-story great room will be updated, to incorporate a new living room on level two. The proposed 14,900 square foot, two-story Expansion (Building 62B) will connect to the existing buildings at both levels creates an interior courtyard with planting and trees. The addition will include an a new main lobby/entry, private offices, 10 guest suites, communal kitchen and dining room, laundry, elevator and MEP rooms. In attempt to achieve an optimal environment for serving diverse families with weakened immune systems and provide a place for comfort and healing, the design prioritized strategies that focus on optimizing health and well-being through air and water quality, 04.

ARCHITECTURAL MASSING The Children’s Inn is an integral part of the National Institutes of Health campus for children and their families traveling near and far to participate in life-changing clinical research. The architectural massing for the new expansion, Building 62B, mimics the residential architectural language of the existing building shed-style roofs while creating a new and complimentary architectural expression for the primary entrance volume. The new building creates a distinct focal point at the east side of the site adjacent to the parking lot and site entry. By creating this new expression, the Inn will have a fresh, new appearance that acts as a wayfinding device for visitors and staff alike.

discussions with the staff, Board, and visiting families of The Children’s Inn, the concept evolved to focus on transforming The Children’s Inn by improving access to care, enhancing comfort and safety, and facilitating a refined guest experience. The architectural and interior design of the proposal, supports this mission through enhanced spaces, connection to nature, materials, and character to create a welcoming, accessible, and sustainable “place like home”.

PROJECT SITE MATERIAL CHANGE
Working to create a replicable model for redevelopment and resiliency within their neighborhood, a community organization along Kensington Avenue obtained an abandoned empty lot in a once-thriving commercial arterial to provide local retail space and two singlefamily, affordable housing units. The project is used as a test case for broader neighborhood implementation to extend the group’s core initiatives of long-lasting and equitable use of resources, reactivation of empty real estate, and reinvestment of financial and physical capital. The team explored a wide range of low carbon, green infrastructure, and energy efficient strategies while prioritizing opportunities for budget, repeatability, and contextual expression. The resulting design blends technical solutions with community touchstones.

CLOSET
These two single-family passive rowhomes on the edge of Philadelphia’s Francisville neighborhood maximize the area of their small lots and create a distinct impression against the neutral exteriors of adjacent development. Borrowing from quilting practices, the blue terracotta cladding of the primary facade is complimented by the materials which weave and bound its edges so that the duplex is perceived as one building. Windows are sized and placed in response to the interior use on each floor and mirrored to reinforce the exterior expression. The main entry and electric vehicle parking space are tucked under the upper levels. A solar array allows the project to take aim for zero energy use.

TRILATERAL WADDEN SEA WORLD HERITAGE PARTNERSHIP CENTRE Wilhelmshaven, DE Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter, Architectural Staff, 2017 Schematic Design Workplace / New Construction + Renovation Targert Net Zero Energy UNESCO Heritage Site Competition, First Prize
The new UNESCO offices will house the administration of a threecountry organization working to protect the intertidal coastal ecosystems of the Wadden Sea within Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. The building itself will contain office space and meeting facilities, sitting entirely on top of an existing concrete WWII bunker. The bunker itself will be exposed through a double glass facade, enabling natural ventilation. It will function as exhibition and event space as well as a temperate archiving space. In the daytime the building resembles the reflective surface of the Wadden Sea, that again is reflected in the surface of the rainwater retention pools. And at nighttime it expresses itself as a lighthouse visible from far away, representing the trilateral and global collaboration to save this important ecosystem. I contributed to massing and formal concept design as an environmental and operational energy response, interior layout strategies, documentation of exterior assemblies, and visualization.

While surviving as a monument to the power of car culture in the 20th century, today the gas station has become increasing obsolete in the face of growing cities and increasing environmental awareness. As a result, the number of gas stations nationally has decreased since the 1970s, especially in urban contexts. With their prime urban locations and past associations, the sites of former gas stations have the potential to become new nodes of distribution and communication in the city. The proposal consists of the design for a small-scale urban amenity node, or “Energy Commons” in Seattle. The “Energy Commons” will combine utilitarian functions with a contextual neighborhood-based program through personal vehicle recharging, neighborhood co-working offices, cyclist and pedestrian amenities, and solar energy and water harvesting and storage. The goal is to transform the former car-centered and consumptive structure into a new public urban asset that is human focused and production-minded.
STACK EXCHANGE Lower East Side, New York City, NY 10 week studio, University of Washington collaboration with Connor Irick and Mingjun Yin Instructors: Elizabeth Golden + Rick Mohler ACSA Timber in the City 2016, First Place UW Design Commend Award
Full project boards at QR Code below
Stack Exchange, a mid-rise, mixed-use urban habitat project, celebrates the vitality and multidimensional community of the Lower East Side by referencing historical building tradition and urban context, integrating with transportation infrastructure, and advancing mass timber construction. By stacking housing similar to the lumber drying process, voids are created to allow for daylight, ventilation, and private and semiprivate amenity spaces. By connecting to the Williamsburg Bridge, Delancey Underground, and the subway, neighborhood residents and visitors from other boroughs are encouraged to engage with the site, Essex Street Market, and Andy Warhol Museum. Areas of double- and triple- height spaces contain the public program on ground floor. Housing levels above are organized in two typical floor plans depending on unit type. The housing bars are stacked alternately and rotate 90 degrees at every level. Stack Exchange takes advantage of local manufacturing and the material properties of Cross Laminated Timber to innovate a flat-pack system of pre-fab occupied box beams.

CENTRE FOR MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY Missisauga, OT, CAN KieranTimberlake, Architect, 2019 Construction Documentation + Pre-Con Higher Education / New Construction Pursuing LEED Gold
As part of its ambitious research expansion, a national university in Mississisauga, Canada commissioned a cutting-edge science building that will meet the evolving needs of the its research community as a whole while also providing a clear and distinct identity for its primary occupant, the Centre for Medicinal Chemistry (CMC). In addition to creating a unified home for the CMC, the New Science Building will provide much needed laboratory, animal care facility, support, and office space for wet research sciences, establish a new headquarters for the highly regarded Forensic Science Program, and expand and improve the existing loading and storage facilities in the existing historic Davis Building. With an emphasis on innovative research activities, ambitious environmental stewardship, and aspirational place-making, the New Science Building will serve as a transformational campus amenity. I prepared and managed the design and technical documentation of interior architectural systems (floors, walls, ceilings, storefront) for construction documentation. Additionally, I assisted in coordination of structural, MEP/FP, and lighting systems with engineering consultants. For the connection to the existing building, I confirmed egress and fire separation compliance with regional and local building codes and accessibility standards.

NEW MECHANICAL ENGINEERING BUILDING Pittsburgh, PA KieranTimberlake, Architect, 2020 Design Development + Construction Documentation Higher Education / New Construction Pursuing LEED Gold
The new, larger Scaife Hall, which will replace an existing facility, will double the existing building in size. The building will have a focus on expanded, technology-rich labs, modern, flexible classrooms, and spaces that facilitate formal and informal collaboration. The project will work in connection with adjacent buildings and labs that house other engineering and technology disciplines to create an integrated Maker Court and allow for interdisciplinary collaboration. The building’s location on the edge of campus will further increase the connectivity between external consortia and institutes and the university, both physically and programmatically. I worked with the Senior Project Architect on detail iterations of all typical exterior wall systems, which included documenting base and alternate designs of a modular wall panel system versus a unitized curtain wall between design development and construction documentation. Additionally, I helped coordinate below grade waterproofing systems and details with outside consultants for sitework, drainage, and landscape design.

BULLETIN BUILDING RENOVATION Philadelphia, PA KieranTimberlake, Architect, 2018 Design Development + Construction Documentation Commercial / Facade Renovation 2022 AIA Philadelphia Honor Award 2022 AIA Pennsylvania Merit Award 2022 The Architect’s Newspaper Top Facades
This renovation reimagines the former printing and publishing headquarters of the now-defunct Evening Bulletin newspaper as a centerpiece in Philadelphia’s booming Schuykill Yards. Constructed in 1954, the original building demonstrated renowned architect George Howe’s mastery of modern, simple, and powerful architecture. The elevated volume sat atop a slender base with a smooth masonry skin, an expansive, horizontal eastern facade, subtle asymmetry, and assertive signage. Additional windows cut into the facade during a renovation in the 1990s brought much-needed light to the space, but also diminished the building’s impressive monumentality. In re-imagining the structure, we retain the scale, massing, and character of the original building while evolving the design to accommodate new uses and standards. Our design restores and enhances the original fabric and features while also incorporating evolutionary interventions including a new red-framed glass facade, modern graphical signage, and an alphabet-patterned frit—an homage to the building’s history.

VOLUNTEER SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS Selected work, 2018-2022
I proactively seek opportunities related to sustainability within my firms and the local professional architecture community. Outside of project work, I also developed a research proposal and action framework for zero waste operations for the office and promoted the creation of high-performing places that suppor t human and ecological well-being at the studio-level through the firm’s Living Design initiative through regular meetings with project teams. At KieranTimberlake, I volunteered regularly at a local food bank and led and planned a community voter registration event. Additionally, I initiated and led daylight analysis (sDA and ASE) for an elementary school project at Mahlum that resulted in the successful design integration of skylights in all existing and new classrooms to meet building performance goals. In addition to my immediate project assignments at both KieranTimberlake and Mahlum, I carved out my own research investigations related to life cycle cost analysis benchmarking and the integration of the AIA Framework for Design Excellence with overarching company design principles at each firm, respectively.
Life Cycle Analysis for Interior Renovation Washington, DC / Perkins&Will At Perkins&Will, I conducted the first life cycle analysis using Tally for interior renovation at the firm to begin benchmarking the environmental impacts of a typical TI project. The initial reports showed that the carpet and ceramic tile were the highest contributors to global warming potential. These results were bolstered by the selective reuse of interior storefront, aluminum frames, and wood flooring.
Operation Zero Waste Washington, DC / Innovation Incubator We as designers consistently and successfully track operational energy and water use. The reporting of these sustainability measures has promoted both environmental resource efficiency and economic and social incentives for using less within the built environment. In demonstrating leadership in energy and water use design, we should do the same for operational waste that is generated and managed within the buildings we design and occupy. The goal of this Innovation Incubator proposal is to produce a document that catalogs current practices and provides actionable guidance for operational waste-management and resource efficiency.
Data Visualization for AIA DDx Reporting Philadelphia, PA / AIA Philly COTE As a member of the Philadelphia chapter of the AIA Committee on the Environment, I have presented to the chapter and internal working groups on topics related to the AIA’s 2030 Commitment and the interpretation of data reported to the DDx by member firms. Example presentation titles includes “Best practices and tools for reaching 2030 targets” and “Introducing the New DDx and Techniques for Analyzing your Portfolio”.

DAYLIGHT ANALYSIS PUYALLUP ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Puyallup, WA Mahlum, Architectural Staff, 2018 Schematic Design + Design Development K-12 Education / Renovation + Addition
Florence Pope Elementary School was constructed in 1981 and includes 24 classrooms, a library, gym, offices, kitchen, and support spaces totaling 41,700 square feet. The building is single story, wood frame construction with a brick veneer and metal siding fascia. Pope Elementary will be further renovated and expanded to accommodate the demands of a modern teaching environment. The new facility will provide 32 homerooms with an upgraded library, gym, support spaces, and a new dining commons to serve approximately 730 students. Site improvements will include expanded parking, new play areas, and a walking track. Within a team of three, I developed schematic layout, massing, and exterior envelope design. Additionally, I championed sustainability goals for the project while also initiating and leading daylight analysis (sDA and ASE) that resulted in successful design integration of skylights in all existing and new classrooms. I was the project BIM manager and primary draftsperson of exterior details.

OPERATIONAL AND EMBODIED CARBON ANALYSIS
At Bright Common I am the primary person in charge of environmental building analysis for all projects in the office and through all design phases. This role focuses on digital modeling to predict operational carbon (energy use) and embodied carbon accounting for assemblies and whole building (WBLCA). Using design tools such as Sefaira and One Click LCA, I analyzed the data and results in written, verbal, graphical formats to colleagues and clients.
Philadelphia, PA Bright Common, Project Architect, 2023
Because I have this role on all projects within the office, I have knowledge of other project successes in terms of design strategies than can inform other projects I am working. Therefore, my comprehensive view of the studio’s projects promotes knowledge sharing to meet building performance goals firmwide for all project types (mixed-use residential, single-family, and commercial). Furthermore, as an AIA 2030 Commitment signatory, I report all of the predicted operational and embodied carbon metrics to the organization through the online DDx dashboard.

Frankford Apartments is a mixed-use residential new construction project. During DD, the concept of a building would have two different expressions – one more linear, and one rounder with complexity in sculptural moves like decks and carveouts. Post-2020 required the team to be more adaptable for the assemblies and exterior expression. Buildings that are more energy efficient are typically built with materials that have a higher embodied carbon than those same materials applied to a code building. This is usually due to more thermal insulation which is often foam or plastic that has a high global warming impact. The team began looking at a “best” version of an embodied carbon wall and massing that is Code+. This primarily required simplifying the overall geometry to reduce sculptural carve-outs, specify bio-based materials, and use less plastic overall. The analysis and redesign showed that the thicker assemblies of “bad” materials lead to less energy use while thinner assemblies with carbon sequestering materials had a higher energy use. I conducted operational and embodied carbon analysis on both design schemes.

As currently conceived, the project is a three-story 2/2.5 single-family house, slab-on-grade, woodframed construction with no basement. A photovolatic solar array is located on the building’s roof. Since the project Phius CORE Prescriptive certification, the clients were interested in seeing their projected energy costs and the embodied carbon compared to a typical single-family home in Philadelphia. Even with natural gas being cheaper than electricity, and all-electric home designed to Passive House standards with bio-based insulation had a lower predicted energy cost and carbon emissions. I conducted operational and embodied carbon analysis on the baseline and design cases with iterations for HVAC systems and bio-based insulation.
