Neo-Domestic Living
Neo-Domestic Living Redefining domestic living in a post suburban world
Ecological, sustainable, recycled, and reused. We’ve come to hear these words over and over again perhaps reluctantly, and through laze. Neo-Domestic Living doesn’t take ownership of these words but acknowledges them through the careful consideration of site, and material. Humbly allowing itself to co-exist alongside the roaring junipers and native wildlife species. This project reimagines the idea of suburbia, creating an intentional community that is centered around sustainability and community relationships. Through the subversion of standard practices, it questions the idea of what is public and what is private in a post suburban community and redefines the home as an ever-evolving exhibition that rediscovers the mundanities of life.

Neo-Domestic Living
The Site: Keya Paha County, NE .The focus for the site is to emphasize ecological sensitivity, through conservation practices and protection of wildlife and plant species. Typically zones will proliferate themselves with native vegetation creating a buffer between both the hub and houses, providing vast amounts of protection from climatic forces and a home for wildlife species.

Laboratories of a New Wolrd
Laboratories of a New Wolrd Exploring the relationship of pure form and architectural ambition
Laboratories of a New World is a campus of spaces for artists and cultural influencers. It seeks to reconceptualize the role of the radical workshop in contemporary society, creating a collective of spaces for reclaiming avant-garde spatial and programmatic strategies in order to explore its limits, challenges, and potential. Using hardcorist ontology and an artist of our choosing, this campus block was created. Taking inspiration from the courtyard and Ai Weiwei, a Chinese artist, and activist who produced provocative and subversive sculptural installations and photographs, this project is a curated space for Weiwei and his team to continue creating while also allowing visitors to see Weiwei’s most famous installations.

Laboratory of the New Wolrd
The Site: T h e N e w Wo r l d C a m p u s Pulling inspiration from Weiwei, the site sits upon a campus of Labs, seeking to explore the relationships between art and architecture. One of the artist’s most famous exhibits, Sunflower Seeds, shows thousands of oversized seeds, offering a glimpse into the relationship between an individual and society. A hardscape similar to these seeds is used as a motif to establish the relationship between the building and the campus. Larger areas of green space add another layer to the motif by encouraging an individual to come, sit down, and enjoy the artistry around them.

Sheldon Student Center
Sheldon Student Center Reconnecting students to forgotten campus resources
Located on UNL’s city campus, The Sheldon Museum of Art is a treasured piece of architecture dedicated to housing works of the 19th- and 20th-century. Although the Sheldon is physically on campus, it’s far from a part of the university. So the staff wants to find a way to bridge that gap. How can the Sheldon become more of a resource for the student body? This extension proposes a workspace that delicately weaves education, art, and community spaces together to foster a new relationship between the mundanities of an institutional museum and the student life on campus. The movement of the exterior cladding pulls the students from campus to the Sheldon, and with the connection to the neighboring Woods Art Building, education becomes even more ingrained into the Sheldon.

SITE CONTEXT
26
Sheldon Student Center
The Site: Lincoln, NE Sitting on the lower southwest side of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, for 50 years, the Sheldon has been a beckon on campus. Through site analysis, it was clear the service parking lot located on the north side of the Sheldon disrupts the flow of the campus. It gives the perception of a private area, not to be used or accessed by students. A few brave students used this parking lot as a shortcut, but most found a different route. This creates an unintentional void in the campus and provides an opportunity through the Sheldon Student Center to connect back to campus .

Contour House
Contour House Redefining domestic living in Detroit, Michigan
Detroit was once the fourth largest city in the United States but has suffered disproportionately in subsequent decades leading to its bankruptcy in 2014. In an effort to generate new property tax revenue the city decided to split and sell empty residential lots to their adjacent neighbors. Following the foreclosure crisis, many of these lots were lost in the Detroit tax auction creating ”unbuildable” half lots, unable to fulfill conventional methods of suburban residences, scattered around communities of Detroit. The constraints of the site set forth a formal vocabulary such that much of the architecture has been defined before one even begins designing. This project takes the challenges of zoning laws created for a full-size lot to inform its modern-day design and define a new space for domestic living while being located in a Historic District.

Location of Site
The Site: Detroit, MI Located in the historic Boston Edison district, design guidelines dictate stylistic differences in domestic architecture, defining future design while preserving the neighborhood’s historic character. Some of these include roof shape, eve height, window aperture, and materials used such as brick and stucco. The challenges that presented themselves with this project was designing a home that could fit the needs of the 21st century family, all while staying within the setbacks of a 9.5’ x 122.5’ lot.

Roof shape: From the front, the home mimics its surrounding ones with a prominent pitch
Prevailing eave height: The neighborhood has a prevailing eave height of 22ft. To suit this guideline there is a row of bricks protruding forward an extra 4in creating a shadow, giving off the allusion of the eaves matching that prevailing height of 22ft.

Wellness Center
City of Aurora: Wellness Center Application of community centered design
This wellness center is located in Aurora, Nebraska, just west of main street. More than a recreational center, the town was looking to design a wellness center that facilitated both the arts and physical sports in one building. The inspiration for this wellness center came from the community itself, pulling its form from the neighboring houses and intentionally curating moments of cross-programming amongst the artist and the athlete. This project intends to create a modern space that mimics its neighboring homes to integrate into the community seamlessly.

City of Aurora: Wellness Center
The Site: Aurora, NE The structure of the wellness center uses industrial sheds to help the city cut down on cost. The design utilizes the tall ceilings to bring in light while not being obstructed by the programs on the first floor. Areas like the Racquetball courts and Makerspace are all enclosed to reduce sound but with glass walls, there are still moments that give the effect of cross-programming..
