COURTYARD HOUSING - PORTLAND, OREGON
This courtyard housing project focuses on light, precipitation, and creating an overall sense of community within a courtyard, and the rainy city of Portland, Oregon. Through the use of minimal form, materials, and design, this project attempts to present the simplest design elements to create highly functional, economical and beautiful architecture. Maximizinng natural daylighting through the use of building placement, material choice, and overall forms helps to energize the main courtyard and provide space for the inhabitants and all kinds of various activities.

PAVILION UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO ARBORETUM
SITE ANALYSIS Moscow, ID has a unique set of weather conditions. At one instance the weather can be sunny and enjoyable, bit within a few minutes it can change for the worse. Given the hot summers, cold winters, and less than perfect spring seasons, there is only a short period of time to enjoy nature and the picturesque environment within the arboretum.
This pavilion is intended to provide shelter for individuals wanting to enjoy and be present in nature but not be made uncomfortable by it. Whether one seeks refuge from 90 degree heat or 20 degree chill, this pavilion manages the elements through passive design strategies to provide a more enjoyable way to observe nature.
Located near the center of the arboretum, the pavilion is perched in front of a pond looking over a field to views beyond to the south.

MOUNTAIN HOME Mountain Home is a boutique hotel located within the heart of downtown Moscow. The program includes eight standard rooms and two suites. In addition, the location and layout of the hotel allows for a business along the busy circulation path of Main Street.
The design intentions are to connect with the industrial past of Moscow, ID, while bringing a fresh perspective of a contemporary experience.

Architecture 266: A collaboration project with Matt McCourt. The design, model, and drawings were worked on equally throughout the project.
The goal of this project was to build a scale model for a 400 sq. ft. cabin. The site is a location outside of Troy, ID. It was required to be wood light frame construction, and economical. The scale model was used to show our knowledge on wood light frame building techniques and codes. 21

The broad main entry represents the beginning of a student’s college learning experience. As one moves through the building, the plan becomes tapered and represents the culmination.
Clerestory windows allow for an exceptional amount of natural light; lower rammed earth walls are used extensively to mitigate traffic noise from streets surrounding the site.
