CINTRIFUSE INNOVATION HUB
C I N C I N N AT I , O H OVER-THE-RHINE HISTORIC DISTRICT H I S T O R I C R E N O VA T I O N This massive historic rehabilitation project combines three existing buildings in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine National Historic Disctirct into a new center for the area’s booming start-up and entrepeneurship culture. The three separate buildings are combined to produce an efficient catalyst for creative thinking and work. The program includes several large workspaces, a lecture hall, private huddle rooms, and permanant offices for several of Cincinnati’s most prolific start-ups, including The Brandery and Cincy Tech. In addition, the building will house a restaurant, night club, a large mutlipurpose space, and a new roof deck and bar.

Because of the age of the buildings and their array of functions over the last century, new conditions and challenges emerged throughout the investigation and design process. Specific duties included field measurements and verifications of existing conditions, photo documentation of historical and structural features, sketch-up modeling and rendering, schematic design, and detailing.

The historic core of Cincinnati is seeing an influx of young residents with different aesthetic and professional ideals. Urban revival, sustainability, and neighborhood cohesion are the driving factors behind the successful surge of historic renovation in these interesting neighborhoods of Cincinnati.

Unlike urban environments, national parks and monuments reign over man’s imprint, forcing architecture and civilization to take on a different language. The project, a year round visitor center located in the Glacier Basin Campground, a campground recently ravaged by mountain pine beetle and clear cut by the NPS, focuses on education, recreation, and individual exploration.

This elective studio focused on the life and works of sculptor and designer Harry Bertoia. Located on his family estate in rural Bally, Pennsylvania, the final project focused on the relocation and expansion of a small barn and museum currently run by Bertoia’s son. The program consists of separate spaces housing permanent works of Bertoia and temporary installations from visiting artists. Site planning allows a separation of the museum from the residence on the south side of the site, where his son Val Bertoia currently resides. The form is based on Bertoia’s famous sculptures that play with controlled modular chaos and distinct connections. Each module houses a different form of art ranging from welded bronze to jewelry. The materiality of the modular form allows for a meshing with the wooded site.

HARBOR BATH
SYDHAVN CANAL BATH & MARINA COPENHAGEN, DENMARK STUDY ABROAD
This swimming and recreation area is a celebration of Danish culture.The canal is a lifesource for the city and is a focal point of day to day activites. This harbor bath is situated on the canal running through the neighborhood of Sydhavn in southwest Copenhagen. Diving platforms of varied heights separate swimming areas, while boat and kayak docks serve as other programatic elements. The form is based on the unravelling and warping of wood that occurs due to water. Spaces and elements arise from the deck like waves to become dominant formal features. The diving welll serves as the focal point, always in view from the approach to the immersion into the canal. The oblique entrance ramp serves as perhaps the strongest element, forcing the user to experience the form before experiencing the water.

CRANBROOK ACADEMY WELLNESS CENTER BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MICHIGAN U N D E R G R A D U AT E C A P S T O N E
This six month capstone studio focused on a culmination of skills learned in the first four years of architecture school. Termed SEC for Structures, Environment, and Construction, the project is a wellness center catering to the needs of students and faculty at Cranbrook Academy. There is a main focus on relaxation and spiritual well-being. The center includes aromatherapy pools, rooftop yoga studios, sauna and steam rooms with neighboring plunge pools, massage therapy rooms, and an adjacent residential structure. The volume is influenced by the sloping topography of the site, appearing to rise from the subtle wooded hills . The plan is influenced by the existing campus plan which focuses on courtyards and the merging of public and private gathering spaces.
