Seem/less is a project designed to address the contemporary issue of sensory overstimulation in domestic spaces. As communication technologies and information sharing increasingly penetrate the domestic realm, notions of privacy and intimacy traditionally suggested by the typology of the “home” become less clear.
9’-6’’
Seem/less counters this issue by providing an interior to the interior: a further layer of retreat situated within a domestic environment.
3’-0’’
In its combination of digitally-designed formal intricacy and a traditional approach to materiality, Seem/less is new, yet familiar; unique, yet integrative, melding harmoniously with the other elements of a domestic space. Side Elevation

My primary contribution to the project was the prototyping and fabrication of the recycled carpet “pods”. Each uniquely shaped pod was hand-cut using laser templates and assembled with a combination of machine and hand-sewing. —6 —
This half-scale prototype of was created for the Manitoga Pavilion Competition at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, where it was awarded an honorable mention for “Best Craft”. It was constructed using pentagonal, laser-cut MDF frames which were connected via hinges to form the overall structural skeleton. The skeleton was then covered with sewn layers of recycled carpet to create the soft texture found on both the interior and exterior. At full scale, Seem/less would make use of a stronger frame and experiment with a variety of soft materials (wool, padded felt, polyurethane foam, etc) to produce the desired environmental effects. Seem/less is short listed for the upcoming 2017 Lexus Design Award.

WARWICK BVLD.
EAST 44TH STREET
Located on the campus of the Kansas City Art Institute, this architectural program promotes architectural design which responds to the inhabitant and engages the community.
NELSON ATKINS ART MUSEUM
The natural drainage and circulation of the site are enhanced by a bioswale and pathway, providing a direct entrance to campus for the students and local arts community.
OAK STREET
The textured concrete mass embeds heavily into the naturally sloping landscape, contributing visual as well as tectonic weight to the design.

The upper studio levels are clad in subtly reflective aluminum rainscreen. The soft reflections of sky and the site’s dense treeline create the illusion of lightness, supported visually by the spatial separation of the two volumes. Perforated rainscreen panels create a diffusely illuminated studio, an ideal environment for focused and creative work.

These freehand ink sketches are from a travel sketchbook kept during a summer architecture course in Paris, France. Each sketch was completed while at that location, and feature two different types of architecture: the Basilica of Saint Denis and the Haussman style row house across from our residence near Montmartre. This program in Paris prompted my later attendance in a graduate theory seminar by the same professor, during which the image on the far right was created. This mixed media piece is inspired by desire, eros, and the poetics of space. The program of the bedroom and the three phases of the lovers moving together further emphasizes the space of desire and longing. Similarly, the viewer is drawn into the space and yet denied understanding. The use of multiple perspectives allows the viewer to engage with erotic space, seeking yet never reaching that understanding.

RESIDENTIAL
LANEWAY HOUSE Critic: Peter Olshavsky, Ph.D. University of Nebraska, Spring 2013
With the growth of suburban sprawl, architects and planners are searching for strategies which encourage densification. Laneway House , an accessory dwelling unit, responds to this condition. — 17 —

The Near South Neighborhood is divided into small, regular blocks of single residences, unusual for a Lincoln, NE suburb. A primary characteristic of this quiet residential area is the informal network of alleys and gravel lanes which irregularly punctuate the grid. These public rights of way pass discreetly past the houses, which typically do not have alley access. The Laneway House proposes a reversal of this practice by adding a secondary dwelling to an already occupied lot. The compact two story house is oriented towards the alley, engaging it as the primary lane of access. In doing so, the Laneway House acts as a prototype for suburban infill and practices of suburban density.

MESH MODELING
MANITOGA ARCHIVE Critic: Miroslava Brooks PennDesign, Fall 2016
The archive is located within the topographically challenging site of Manitoga, NY and is designed to make the visitor question their relationship to the surrounding landscape through a choreographed sequence of spaces. — 21 —

A series of circular ramps and centric spaces are organized along a singular axis positioned perpendicularly to the existing house. This linear organization produces a spatial displacement as one circulates through the galleries. The visitor is dislocated from the picturesque scenery that Wright meticulously planned upon entering, then reintroduced, having gained better understanding. The archive is entered through a nondescript arched passage embedded into the terrain. All other characteristics of the building are concealed, creating intrigue. Past this threshold, the visitor passes through the series of three galleries. Each is inspired by the curved forms of Wright’s ceramic collections, and is illuminated by natural light. Following the curvature of these vessels, the visitor moves through the volumes along the ramped walkway passing from interior to exterior seamlessly. The sequence concludes when the visitor exits through another arched passage at the level of the quarry pond, continuing along the natural stone pathways of Manitoga.
