Project: Pattern Cafe
The goal of this project was to create a culture inspired cafe based on geometric, organic, natural, traditional patterns as an inspiration for spatial organization and crafting spatial divisions. Custom designed seating, kiosk, and dividers all will be implemented to communicate a meaningful message.
Site: Union Station
Located in Kansas City, Missouri, Union Station is a train station made up of 850,000 sq-ft, The station also houses restaurants, retail stores, and other attractions. The grand hall is where the cafe will be located featuring 95’ ceilings and 124’ x 86’ of open space.
Bogolan Patterns
I was inspired by the Bogolan Patterns from the Bambara Tribe in Africa. The linear and horizontal movement inspired my design to create a grid on my floor plan but also using the organic lines formed within the pattern to create the extruding triangles and organic shapes for my dividers.

Imprinting African History
African textiles give insight into social, religious, and political African context in an abstract and approachable way. Continuing this approach throughout the space will not only provide design elements that are typically represented in African design but also a new knowledge on black and African history.

Divider 1 is used for casual seating as well as the wall display for the gallery. I took the organic shaped forms I saw in the pattern and used those as a divider between different areas within the cafe.

Design Explained
I took the triangular shape from the patterns and extruded them to create an overhead element. Solid wood sides enclose the area and seating is added on either side. The divider is versatile and can be used for multiple types of seating options.
Model + Materials
The model is made of basswood sheets. The model shows how organic yet geometric I wanted the form to feel while under it.

African Art Gallery
The gallery acts as a “tunnel of knowledge” and the cafe is the kumbaya (harmony) moment when everyone has a little more knowledge about African history.

WORK TO LEAVE YOURS.
Project: Future of Work
The goal of this project was to create a innovative and functional co working space. The space is used as a location that will attract startup companies, creatives, freelancers, and independent business owners will come be able to work, have meetings, and meet others.
Site: Two Light Apartments
The Future of Work project was located at the Two Light Apartments located in Downtown Kansas City right off of Highway I70. It is surrounded by an abundance of entertainment locations, restaurants, and other residential businesses. Within in this apartment there is a 6000 sq-ft ground level that my co-working space will be located.
Final Concept
Art in Kansas City to me is used as a way of expression and distinction between ones self and ones inner emotions and feelings. My goal was to use inspiration from Kansas City’s street art and neighborhoods to portray the feeling of expression and community, and use this idea to create a comfortable, inspiring, flexible, and energy filled work environment.

THE HOUSE
Project: Sustainable Smart Home
The purpose of this assignment was to apply sustainability and smart technology into a home built for a current social challenge of our choice. My partner and I decided to use our freedom to explore the social challenge of homeless pregnant youth and create a sustainable and efficient home design.
Site: Strawberry Hill
Our project site was located in the downtown area of Kansas City, Kansas in a city called Strawberry Hill. The city has plenty of entertainment options and even provides transportation for those who live here. This area is growing due to its location and surrounding environments and seemed to be a perfect location for a new home. In Strawberry Hill the existing lot on Sandusky Ave. was a 25’ x125’. Due to the long and narrow space a shotgun style home would be the best design and most functional for the site.
Social Challenge: Homeless Pregnant Youth
There are nearly 4.2 million adolescents and young adults in American who experience some type of homelessness during a 12 month period that are pregnant. As women we wanted to create a safe place for this number to decrease.
