COMMUNITY CONNECTION Activate edges and shared spaces. Rising from the margins of social and physical isolation starts with long term, stable housing that thrives on opportunities for shared, diverse experiences within the community.
DAYLIGHT FOR ALL Optimize sunlight. Where sunlight cannot be optimized, daylight provides the rhythm that puncuates daily routines. It spills into circulation, corners, and adjacent spaces.
DISPLAY LIFE Be transparent. Invite the neighborhood with portals at the ground level. They are windows to a half-hidden garden and a meeting ground for residents and their neighbors.
DIVERSIFY MASSING Open the ground floor. Mix single- and double-loaded corridors. Push and pull. Diversity reduces the project’s bulk, while accounting for solar access and shade.

PRODUCTION LINE The process from harvesting to packaging occurs within the productin line—a series of shed and gable structures that mitigate city and train noise while filtering prevelant winds.
Conference rooms and kitchens open to a social sidewalk with street buffering landscaping, bicycle parking, and areas to sit and gather.
The flat roof compresses the individual office rooms, which contrasts the volume under the shed roof of the central working space.
Conference room and kitchen activities engage the open, central working space as desired. The central stair and lobby connects all programs.
The high mass south walls delay afternoon heat gains and, along with the planters with evergreens, reduce the effects from train noise.
Bays provide shade and flexible expansion for market tents and classrooms into the alley.
Ribbon windows reveal the workings of the production line and let daylight into the alley.

DESCRIPTION The program is driven by social and ecological democracy, affordability and inclusion, and a passion for thoughtful design and construction. Over 4 terms, I was involved in the construction, coordination, and design of 2 homes. INTENTION Learn to build and teach by example.

4 TWO CHAIRS: CHAIR 1 TERM Spring 2015 PROFESSOR Timothy Fouch, AIA, LEED AP PROMPT Restore purpose in a found chair. DESCRIPTION You can find this chair in many places and at the height of its popularity, US manufacturers were mass producing approximately 5 million aluminum folding chairs each year. It’s part of the American narrative—the front porch, cold suntea and simpler times. At the same time, toss it in your pickup truck with Fido and journey on. It straddles 2 identities; It belongs at home and on the road. Yet it doesn’t go in the house like the suntea pitcher or Fido. INTENTION Apply design principles that respond directly to its found condition—imbalanced, asymmetrical, and worse for the wear. A chair that’s part of a well balanced, well traveled life.

5 TWO CHAIRS: CHAIR 2 TERM Spring 2015 PROFESSOR Timothy Fouch, AIA, LEED AP PROMPT Rethink a designed chair. DESCRIPTION The premise for Chair 2 is to redesign a chair by Timothy Fouch with concepts inspired by Chair 1. Camber creates a wider base, relaxing the stance. and emphasizing a newly established balance. Half lap joinery loops the side profiles creating strength and symmetry. The eventual owner of Chair 2 is a new mother and one of my oldest friends. I hope it inspires many stories, adventures, and memories for her and her child. A cherished object in their lives. INTENTION Regenerate the concepts from Chair 1—balance, symmetry, and better with wear—focusing on giving Chair 2 a new identity. A chair that ages with the bond of mother and child.

BALANCE Using the side rails as the axis of rotation, the side profile cambers in the front and back elevations. The base widens and the top narrows. The back rest requires a compound cut to be placed like a keystone between the side profiles.
COUNTERPOINT Using the front rail as the axis of rotation, the seat height is dropped overall and more so at the back. The center of mass (x) is lower, aligning with the intended position of the seat to create a relaxed stance.
SYMMETRY A rhythm of half lap joints composes the side profile, allowing the side rails and rockers to lap behind the legs. This establishes a hierarchy between the horizontal and vertical components.

6 BERKELEY ART AND ARCHITECTURE HUB TERM Fall 2009 PROFESSOR William Di Napoli, AIA PROMPT Design on-campus facility to support collaboration and works of art and architecture students at UC Berkeley. DESCRIPTION The chosen site, the plaza between the art and architecture buildings, is also a threshold to the greater Berkeley community. Changing the space into a dynamic set of usable areas will reactivate the plaza, supporting a diverse range of events, activity, and people. Thus, all three intended occupants—the art student, the architecture student, and the Berkeley citizen—can engage with a larger art and design community, as observer, participant, or both. INTENTION Gestural unfolding of existing rectilinear building forms. Democratizing and celebrating shared public spaces.

12 QUICK TAKES: PROFESSIONAL DESCRIPTION Projects and moments in the design process that encapsulate the spectrum of my work experience—from assisting project architects to lead designer and from rendering to construction administration.
“Childcare centers should be beautiful, highly functional environments: facilities that support child-directed, child-initiated, and teacher-facilitated play. When work environments actually work for childcare providers, not against them, caregivers can dedicate their energy and attention to building relationships with each child, as well as support their self-directed exploration, movement, and prosocial interaction.� The environment makes a difference.
13 LANDSCAPES FOR LEARNING DATE Spring 2013 FIRM McCamant & Durrett Architects CLIENT Spaces for Children DESCRIPTION With guidance from Charles Durrett (Principal Architect) and Louis Torelli (Child Development Expert) I coauthored this book, illustrating the design process for creating learning environments for children. My work included illustrations, watercolors, drafting, graphic design, and writings on design philosophy, design process, classrooms, and early childhood pedagogy.
