Sustainability: Solar Gain & Daylight
The New Orleans Arena Analysis of the New Orleans arena found that just one window was contributing to almost 40% of the entire building’s solar gain. During the design process for an addition to the arena, we continued to study the glass placement and overhand depth. The resulting design has more glass, but significantly less solar gain.
Occupancy & Controllability Tulane University Library A study of occupancy in the stacks at the Tulane Library found that each aisle is only used on average 6 times per day - but lit 24 hours per day. We used this data to make a case for installing occupancy sensors which will decrease the building’s energy use by 36%
N.O.BioInnovation Center The COTE Awards Submitting NOBIC for EDR’s first COTE award was a great opportunity to start raising the profile of our sustainability efforts throughout the office. Now each project is required to fill out a “Mock COTE” application during design phase to frame sustainability goals and track progress.

Thesis: Levittown, NY The suburbs where designed for a socio-family structure that doesn’t exist anymore (and probably never did). Unlike the 1950s when people were expected to live in just two nuclear families, modern Americans live in a variety of different family structures over the course of their lives. Each family requires a different dwelling unit but not necessarily a different location. Modern suburbs provide rightsizing for each life stage while maintaining community and conserving resources in the process.

Orleans Ave. Canal Redevelopment
Lakeview, New Orleans, LA
During Hurricane Katrina The Orleans Avenue canal
overtopped, flooding City Park and the Lakeview neighborhood. The solution from the Army Corps of Engineers was to build higher levees and create the risk of even more severe flooding in the future. Another option would be to live with water as opposed to avoiding water. This project explores types of resilient dwelling units that exists within and around the levee system, inviting the community to enjoy water - New Orleans greatest resource.

Prospect 1 Headquarters
Central Business Distinct, New Orleans, LA
Prospect 1 Is an art
non profit that encourages local artists and public art. This design for the organization’s headquarters combines offices, a gallery, a public assembly area, and three floors of rental space. This project, designed and produced in Revit, seeks to connect all of these programs to foster casual interaction and community. The design features a public terrace which extends that sidewalk up to the 4th floor and expands the public realm.

Gert Town, New Orleans, LA
The Phoenix of New Orleans is a non profit rebuilding organization that helps New Orleans residents who
were displaced during Katrina to get back into their homes. Operating as a licensed general contractor, the organization provides free volunteer labor and discounted or donated materials. I spent a year working on home layouts, cost estimation, and leading teams of high school students to rebuild New Orleans.

3028 Cleveland Gravier, New Orleans, LA
The Cleveland St. House This was PNOLA’s first speculative housing project. We bought the properly with the plan of refurbishing the house and selling it to fund other rebuilding projects. The scheme was a success. The new occupants love the house, and the sale funded three buildings in the Lower Ninth Ward. 16' - 0"

Research:
Surface area to floor area ratio
By comparing different libraries
to the one that we designed, we were able to learn from our successes and mistakes and improve our future designs. This analysis is looking at how a building’s surface area to floor area ratio impacts energy use.
