an embarcadero for the port of miami MIAMI, FL
The Port of Miami is the largest passenger port in the world with 4.3 million passengers per year. This project proposes a new embarcadero” for the Port of Miami. It will branch off of the existing port to create a new termianl that will cater to the needs of large luxury yatchs and small boats used by people seeking to enter the US by water. This new termianal will address ways that views can be framed to provide hope for people coming into the city and create a new perspective for those headed out. The project will attempt to blend the borders between contrasting users groups. People coming to the terminal for luxury getaways compared to those arriving seeking assylum in the US.

THE PHYTO SHROUD an urban garden CHARLOTTE, NC
The Phyto Shroud is a high-rise tower in downtown Charlotte, NC. The premise of this project was to design architecture that could address a problem in the city. This design attempts to undertake the problem of economic mobility and the lack of social capitalism in Charlotte. This is done by creating a vegetated veil that grows crops through a hydroponic system on the outside of the building. The towers are split between a mixed income housing tower and co-working tower. The users of the building can farm the crops and sell them in a farmers market giving residents from a lower socioeconomic background the opportunity to learn small business skills and to have access to fresh healthy food. The buildings also become a place for community to intermingle and the network between social groups from a variety of backgrounds.

THE RE-CYCLERY a recycled bike shop CHARLOTTE, NC
The re-cyclery is a used bike shop in Charlotte, NC. The shop is an entity of the non-profit Trips for Kids. This design is for a new bike shop at the innovation barn, a hub for ideas in Charlotte. The shop will house spaces for bike maintenance and restoration alongside classrooms and retail space. In order to house all of these programs the design uses mobile work stations that when closed provide retail display and when open can provide a workstation and classroom amenities. The shop also provides enough storage space to hold 200 bikes. Recycled bike parts are used to create a unique atmosphere for the shop. Bold graphics are also used to create a branded environment.

The 12 modular unit is a modular apartment unit that is made up of a series of 12’x12’x12’ modules put together to create one final unit. There 12’x12'x12’ modules which can be combined in a variety of different ways to create units that best suit a users needs. These 4 modules are a bathroom module, a kitchen module, and a living space module. If a user decides not to chose a combination with a bedroom module then a sleep added to the living space module. The modules are made up of a steel frame and glass. The 12’x12’x12’ dimension was chosen as a size that is a assembled off site and then shipped as a wide load to the final site. On site the only work that will need to be done is joing the modules toge any loose furniture. These units will be combined to form a modular apartment building. The tops of the units will eventually become grean sp creating much more usable square footage outside of the small units. These units will be placed inside of a steel structure which can be manip on the site. This allows for building above exisitng structures or as a standalone building. 3

URBAN COLLAGE
a port morris heterotopic tow pound THE BRONX, NY
Urban collage is a heterotopic tow pound facility designed to encourage the growth of Port Morris into a pedestrian friendly neighborhood and to meet the need for a new NYPD tow pound. The facility is a manipulation of a traditional parking deck which provides surface parking while opening space for building and landscape programs to be inserted. These spaces include a tow pound facility, a pocket park, a community center, a recreation deck, and a landscape that provides ecological interventions.

can be inserted. The parking structure is designed to have one direction of traffic flow with the tow truck entering on the North West corner, dropping the car along the way and exiting on the South East corner of the site. The pocket park at the entrance to the structure brings green space to the concrete jungle that is Port Morris. This park provides filtration and recirculation of runoff rain water and provides an opportunity to reintroduce local vegetation which will attract local wildlife. As the surface parking folds up on the South West corner of the site the facility for the tow pound is inserted providing workspace for the employees as well as space for the public to pick up their impounded cars. At the zenith of the parking structure the parking wraps around a community center that houses a community kitchen, a book exchange library, a gaming area, a lounge, and classrooms for various educational programs and community meetings. This center provides a safe environment for a low income community and provides courses to a community where a large percentage of adults did not complete their high-school education. On the top of the community center there is a green roof that fights the heat island effect, provides rain water collection, and doubles as a community recreation space providing an amphitheater, open field space for pick-up soccer games, and wildscapes that bring local vegetation into Port Morris.

office expansion CHARLOTTE, NC
This project was the renovation and expansion of C-Design’s architecture office. Before this project the firm was split into three different suites throughout the building, this expansions brought all of the employees into one space. The new office houses a large and small conference room, a new entry vestibule and large break room. I was heavily involved in all phases of the design process from schematics all the way through construction.

TERTIA TOWER mock firms competition STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN
This project was a design competition where as a mock firm we were to design a skyscraper in Stockholm. My role in the mock firm was Principle. As well as participating in design, it was my responsibility to help run group meetings and organize the design process.
The idea behind our skyscraper was to have a building that fit into the context of Stockholm with its shorter buildings. We were able to accomplish this by building part of the building into the side of a cliff. Therefore creating the affect of a much less imposing building. The interiors were designed using the stone taken from the cliff, with a modern sleek design style very relevant to Swedish design.

FLOCK wine bar
DURHAM, NC This project was a historical building in downtown Durham, which we turned into a multi-use building. We worked in teams of two to design a wine bar and various sized residential apartments. Because of the fact that the building was historic we were not able to alter the facade of the building but we had free reign of what we could do on the interiors.
On the entry level of the building we designed a wine bar/shop. The bar was designed for a client which asked for a bar with an organic/ vintage vibe that had space for retail as well as entertainment. We accomplished this by mixing reclaimed materials and custom designed furnishings.

GARDEN SHELTER
aids in south africa design competition SOUTH AFRICA
This was a design competition by Architecture sans frontiéres in which we were asked to design a product or structure which would help victims of the AIDS epidemic in South Africa. With this structure we aim to provide the 3 essentials to survive: shelter, food and water.
People living with AIDS are more susceptible to infections and sickness from contaminated water due to their lowered immune system. Child mortality rates are 10 to 20 times higher in cities without clean water. This shelter utilizes water in different ways. Water collected from local streams or rainfall can be used to produce clean water. Excess water then passes through a ceramic filter and is collected in a water basin to be stored for clean drinking water.
