Historic Preservation - Burlington North Carolina
M i l l s G l e n c o e
The Glencoe Mill Historic District is located on the east bank of the Haw River, three miles north of Burlington, North Carolina. It is a typical well preserved example of the nineteenth century industrial villages that once flourished in North Carolina’s Piedmont region. The district covers a more than 100 acres and consists of three parts. 1) a manufacturing and commercial complex, 2) power and water system and 3) a residential and social unit. -National Registry of Historic Places

Historic Preservation - Burlington North Carolina
In the space I had placed tables that had a rustic look to them, to continue the idea of historical features, and along the waterfront I have placed couches that allow the user to appreciate the beautiful setting in which Glencoe is placed.
G l e n c o e
In the Main Building of the Glencoe Mills Textile Factory, I had wished to create a restaurant/cafe/night club, so that the space could be multifunctional. I tried to create a design that would appreciate the natural materials used in the space, leaving most of the existing floor after being reinforced, and so taking the floor boards that were weak in the center of the space out, to place a stair case that will allow access to the lower level. Art work was distributed throughout to enhance the appeal of the brick walls.

In the remaining spaces of the outer wings, I decided to create other functional spaces for the nearby community such as a salon. Since the community is isolated from common luxuries, I decided to begin making common places that would hold the neighborhoods needs, later expanding in other marketplaces.

Expanding from the Salon area, would be a retail store that could adapt to the needs of the community. This is continuing this idea of bringing common luxuries, that often take so long for the residents to commute to, and bringing it closer to the residents. outer wing - retail

Vegetable Delight - UNC - Greensboro Campus
S t a n d P r o d u c e
The Produce Stand was an assignment in 2nd year studio, called Vegetable Delight. We examined the importance of fresh and organic produce being available to consumers, as well as how Farmers Markets across the United States having difficulty competing with Super Markets. As the studio divided into two groups approximately 26 people on each team. Each team then created designs, to be approved by professors, and then constructed each design. This design was executed by using two by fours, and canvas materials. The class competed for a design that the chancellor would examine and possibly create for the University to have fresh produce available for the student who lived on campus. The designs were then executed, and stood on campus for two weeks.

Other installations were called Mod Moments. These “Modular Kiosks” were to used to advertise the presentations as well as giving the user, information about the project and Loewenstein. Once again the design came from the sleek and clean lines that Loewenstein had used in his designs. Playing with the idea of “push and pull”, as well as positive and negative spaces, with respect to particular design elements.

Warren Architecture Internship - Winston Salem, NC
D e s i g n O f f i c e
As an intern for Warren Architecture, in Winston Salem, I was asked to create a layout of the office, using software program, AutoCAD, and then later using Sketch Up to show the three dimensional aspects of the office. After producing the drawings both principals had then mentioned how they would like to update the office to be more inviting to the clients. I then, created several ideas that were pitched to both principals for their evaluations of moderations that the office could undertake along with an estimate of the materials used. When cleaning through the material library, I suggested using materials, from sample boards of brick and stone, as a veneer to the existing walls, and using the large samples of vinyl wall coverings and wall paper, to create the warmth in the space desired.

Since Warren Architecture desired to become more sustainable, I had looked at materials, which they had collected from sales representative over the years, and tried to find applications for each material that was destined to be thrown to the dumpsters. This created several ideas to apply to the lobby, and still able to create the warm inviting atmosphere they had wished to create.

north carolina sustainable building and design competition
N C S B D C The North Carolina Sustainable Build and Design Competition, was based in Raleigh, North Carolina. The competition was to create an independent living duplex, that would be an addition to the existing campus. Each duplex was required to have two bedrooms and at least one and a half bath, with a den. The fourth year studio split into several groups, each team containing , I participated in this competition with three other women, McKenzie Gates, Alissa Hamalainen, and Megan Harris.

The following perspectives were used to express the exterior views of the duplex. As a group we had decided that each duplex would still allow the tenants to feel a sense of uniqueness or originality, since most tenants would be leaving their personal homes to be around a nursing facility due to health concerns. Much of the campus was created of traditional red brick duplex, and we decided to create a more modern design, that embraced how things came together, showing the truss system, with other minimalistic design aspects.

Cars Under the Stars
While completing my studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, we were required to complete a thesis project. The project I had undertaken was “Cars Under the Stars�, which was taking a look at the Drive In Movie Theatre, and how this lost tradition could be renewed. The three theories that I chose to explore, where sense of community, entertainment and mobility. As the Drive In was created for those in a recession, studies had shown the last thing I person would give up, due to economy was entertainment.

P r o j e c t T h e s i s
The Shelby Drive In Movie Theatre, had been a place for the locals to enjoy movies, in the privacy of their own vehicles but also getting to enjoy the great outdoors for decades. Over time the Shelby Drive In Movie Theatre started to become dilapidated, due to the collapsing structures, such as the concession stand, the ticket booth and the wall, which by code must obstruct the view for the outside community. This has caused the drive in, to lose its ma jestic atmosphere. This is something I had wished to recreate, by modifying the original structure to look “open� and lightly placed on the surface.

Through the section of the site as well as the perspective below, I had wished to express what I would intend for the site. Which was to create a deck system for parking near the back, which eliminated the wall needed to conceal the area, and stadium like seating in the front area, that would resembled those ideas set forth by Vitruvius in Book five of the Ten Books of Architecture, w h i c h elaborated on theatre design.

[re]learning las vegas
V e g a s This course began by examining the Las Vegas strip and how it has manifested itself into a spectacle for over half a century. By creating Nolli maps representing figure/ground, we began synthesizing is this an effective means of mapping today. The next project was to overlay this information in mapping, to another city, shown above, using the city, Dallas, TX.

Trex Decking Parking Porch
D e c k S o u t h e n d
The objective of this course was to take an unusual material, to create a seating area, for the Southend District of Charlotte. In the near area, many people congregate for Food Trucks on Friday evenings, but have limited seating. This form needed appeal to the public as well as be functional for seating. The material that my partner, Allison Schaefer and I were assigned, was Trex Decking. We orchestrated many tests, that showed the flexibility of the material, that told allow us to create constraints that would hold the forms shape.

This 16 week course focused on learning the popular program, Revit. Rather than starting with a series of separate drawings such as plan, elevation, and section that describes how our concept will exist in real 3D space, one now produces a unified digital 3D model that can generate all necessary presentation, analysis, and technical documentation. BIM is the culmination of parametric design, computational thinking, 3D modeling, and 2D drawing developed during the computer age.

Urban Eatery was a proposal for an Urban Design studio. With a predetermined site, in uptown Charlotte, North Carolina, we were instructed to create a unique program that would be inspired by “Learning from Las Vegas”. In teams of two, my partner and I created a satellite studio for a culinary school that would allow the community to participate in their education. Students could showcase their work in cafes and restaurants that would be open to the public. Also because South End does not have a hotel we proposed a hotel, giving tourist a “taste” of Charlotte.
