DIVINE LORRAINE
PHILADELPHIA, PA The Divine Lorraine Hotel is located in Philadelphia, PA and was designed by architect Willis G. Hale. The building originally functioned as apartments and would later become a hotel. The design is essentially split into two separate projects which includes the hotel renovation and an addition. The two main principles applied to the design encompasses community and growth. The old hotel will be transformed into a dormitory for children who need assistance. The basement will be a community library that is interconnected to the first floor lobby; floors 2-8 will be dormitory rooms; floor 9 will be a cafeteria/assembly hall; and floor 10 will be a solarium. The building addition was pushed below ground to preserve ground level park space; the main and secondary walkways provide easy accessibility; and large lightwells were utilized to allow daylight to penetrate below ground. The building addition’s program consists of a community center, classrooms, activity center, day care, and retail space. In addition, the underground structure is accessible through the subway system.

RESOLUTION BIAS ERROR The program consists of a Ball State University design-build lab in downtown Muncie, Indiana. The essence of the project is to integrate the university with the local community. Based on prior precedents (i.e. - Auburn University’s Rural Studio), both students and community members are mutually benefitted from the energy and effort of locally based opportunities. The main design principle is to ‘provoke curiosity’ within people to entice them inside the building for further interaction. The design principle will be achieved through a unique skin system inspired by the picket-fence-effect, or resolution bias error. A series of wooden panels attached to the curtain wall are spaced in different sequences to allow ‘snapshots’ of the interior as one passes by. The building will appear as a solid mass from a distance and will become gradually more transparent the closer you get. Hypothetically, people will acquire a general understanding of the indoor activities but will seek a more thorough comprehension by walking indoors. In addition, the skin has informed openings based upon the program. The building contains rooms for a community meeting space, a student exhibition hall, and a design-build lab with a studio suspended above.

SULPHUR DELL - THE WHARF
NASHVILLE, TN FINANCING
SITE VALUE
THE WHARF at Sulphur dell is a proposed urban neighborhood district within Nashville, TN. The proposal was submitted for the Gerald D. Hines urban design competition. The main design principle was to create a triangular urban, form that embodied live, work and play. The design is anchored by the farmer’s market; followed the bicentennial mall; proposed baseball stadium; riverside boardwalk; and finally The Wharf. The proposal encompasses urban density strategies of being able to live close to work and entertainment options.

ECO-PLACEMAKING The Christy Woods Pavilion is a dynamic park structure that encompasses a ‘jewel’ suspended inside the larger structure. The pavilion is situated next to an open space in the Christy Woods Park to assist medium- to large-groups but can be used by individuals too. The pavilion employs sustainability strategies by first utilizing the existing structure and secondly using manually-operated, side panels to create shade, allow natural ventilation, and permit daylight. During colder months, the pavilion can be closed up. In addition, the roof consists of wooden slats to allow daylight but can self-shade. The pavilion is raised a foot off the ground and suspended by cables to give a sense of lightness.

MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTS
IMAGE LEFT & BELOW: The fence was installed adjacent to a back patio to add privacy. The horizontal members follow a pattern and were spaced evenly in one-inch increments. The precise spacing allows 1x6 boards to slide-in and act as shelves. The shelves can hold flowers, herbs, artistic pieces, etc. The fence essentially acts as a living wall as well.
IMAGES RIGHT: The accent garden feature was created by refurbishing an antique door. The existing paint was carefully preserved to retain the distressed look and had a fresh coat of sealer applied. In addition, a planter box was attached to the front and was painted/sanded to match the distressed look of the door. The stacked planter in the image was created to add an artistic piece to a garden. The galvanized buckets were stacked up on top of each other and were held in place by a steel rod running through the middle. The bottom bucket has two metal strips running perpendicular to each other with holes to secure the rod.
IMAGES ABOVE: The doll house was made for my mother to effectively communicate with children about potential household problems. The doll house came in a kit that had to be assembled and painted. The doll house illustrates my craftsmanship and eye-for-detail. IMAGE LEFT: The table and chairs were fabricated with reclaimed wood. The chairs were handcrafted from recycled 2x4’s after replacing a wooden deck. The table was created with refurbished pallets that were stacked on top of each other to provide adequate height.
