Architecture Portfolio 2019

gk

My interest in architecture was first sparked by seeing the wonders of the city of Chicago.

Through visiting and experience the vast architecture buildings that call Chicago home, I knew that I wanted to be a designer that created the built world. From the age of 11, I have been inspired by how it combines my love of science, math, and design. Architecture to me isn’t just about the forms and the way that the building evokes emotion, it’s also about how the building shapes the occupant’s lives and enhances their experience. My passion lies in designing healthy, sustainable environments that people can cherish through out their daily lives.

Through studios and internship experience, I have found an immense love for education and civic design, that I would love to continue further.

Integrated Design Spring 2018 Team: Will Shadwick (primarily architecture) Gretchen Kelly (primarily interiors) Professor Steve Harrington, AIA Currently, the Kelce College of Business is being housed in an old high school located on campus, with low ceiling and no study spaces, the college was years behind where education architecture was. Posed with a renovation and expansion of the school made for a challenging and exciting design. Through the design process, 50% of the building was demolished making room for a new innovation center and large atrium connecting the new and old school.

Strategically placed, the staff offices were housed in the existing building, which left the new building to be a student centric place for collaboration and next generation learning.

HOW DO YOU RETROFIT A BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE OF LEARNING?

Using 50% of the existing building was crucial in keeping this project within budget. Utilizing the low ceiling and small structural bays for the faculty offices, let the learning labs be placed in the new addition, where natural light and large open spans were possible.

INTERIOR CONCEPTS

While trying to keep a professional workplace atmosphere their school colors of red and yellow were merged to red and orange and applied to each of the wings to enhance the way finding through the building. Wood ceiling were applied to act as a circulation path through the school.

CONNECTION OF OLD AND NEW

Architecturally the existing building blends with the existing campus buildings, wanting to create a gem to the gateway of campus, the addition had a glass plinth and metal panel with core ten wrapped on the ends to tie back with the existing building.

2 KEARNEY EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER Kearney, Missouri

DLR Group Summer 2017 Schematic Design Sketch Up, Photoshop Project Team: Ian Kilpatrick , Tammie Crocker and Gretchen Kelly A former big box grocery store sat empty

in the town of Kearney for 2 years. Kearney

School District saw the centralized location as a perfect place for an early childhood

center. With a large open plan to work with all classroom revolve around interior discovery

zone that serves as a common play space for all children. My role within the project was

the conceptual and schematic design of the interior spaces. I created all graphics for the project and presented to the school board our design for approval.

Photography by Michael Robinson

IS THE FUTURE OF ECONOMIC EDUCATION DESIGN, EMPTY BIG BOX STORES? Looking for a low cost solution for a problem that is facing many districts, lack of early childhood education, Kearney turned to an empty big box store for a quick interior fit out of the space. to provide a service that their district was in need off.

3 CENTRAL TERRACE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Crossroads District Kansas City, MO

Architectural Design III Fall 2016 Professor Nilou Vakil, RA Revit, AutoCad Photoshop, Illustrator Kansas City is an ever changing city that is in a position to revive itself and its neighborhoods. The Crossroads District is no exception. A district that was once filled with empty warehouse has been transformed by the artists of Kansas City. The district is now being called home to many young professionals in the area. With all the movement into this district, a school is a needed addition to provide education to the growing demographic of families that are now located within this neighborhood. This addition to the community will encourage growth within the city and create a lively district within which everyone wants to live and work.

COMMON CORE

With the buildings massing following the sites boundaries a central core was created where the two masses intersect. This space became the central circulation for the building and main focal point. Illuminated by natural light and views to the Kaufman Preforming Arts Center.

FLEXIBILITY IN CLASSROOM

Seen through this school, a focus on a classroom collaborative learning studio which can be used by two classrooms had a huge design emphasis on the building. This design thought is illustrated from the facade with the class bump outs that let light into this space and illuminate the collaborative learning spaces from the facade.

ACTIVATE THE STREET

Bringing an active street front to Central Street was a key aspect of the massing and design of the building. The Crossroad district is currently not very walkable. Through this design a treeline was added and large sidewalks were created to make a welcoming entrance into the school as well as city.

4 BETHANY PARK LIVING

Kansas City, Kansas - Bethany Neighborhood

Architecture Design V Fall 2017 Professor Shannon Criss, AIA Rhino, Revit, Photoshop, Illustrator Selected as best Arch 608 studio project in juried student exhibition When Bethany Hospital was torn down, the city of Kansas City, Kansas knew that they wanted to infill the site with affordable housing that had a focus on inter-generational living. Posed with the project of master planning 8 acres and the surrounding neighborhood was the bases of the design. The design concept came through looking at how to navigate through a site with a 80 foot drop from one corner to the other. The concept of the housing terracing down the hill and conforming to the hill provided amble southern exposure light to every building and easy navigation of the site.

This also extended to the green bands that extend onto the adjacent strip lots, each of these green spaces though out the site was programed for the community as well as the neighborhood.

ENGAGE THE SITE

With a large open site, with a 50 foot drop from one site to the other, engaging all areas on the site was necessary to create a active community. This was done by creating bands of housing and programming each green space band in between.

Interior Design - Student Category International Green Interior Awards

Student category 2017 AIA Kansas Student Design Award The Dirt Works Studio renovated a 6,000 squarefoot space in Chalmers Hall. Formerly located in this slice of space were a cramped coffee kiosk and a small, dimly lit seating area - adjacent to an important but under utilized gallery, a multipurpose classroom, and a windowless conference room. Due to the favorable location, the studio seized upon an opportunity to transform this area into a collaborative, dynamic, and sensorial environment. With one and a half semesters, the design-build studio set out to breath new life into the heart of Chalmers Hall.

6 OLATHE PUBLIC LIBRARY Olathe, Kansas

Architectural Design II Spring 2015 Professor Todd Achelpohl, AIA Revit, Sketch Up, Photoshop, Illustrator Taking inspiration from Olathe’s origin was the concept that is seen through out the library design. Olathe was the crossroads of the Santa Fe and Oregon Trail. The massing of the library was focused on this and inspired the splitting point of the two wings of the building where the trails diverged and expand westward. The slope of the roof out to the west represents the expansion outward and a salute to these two trails and all they did for America. The red terracotta panels were used to blend in with the rest of the existing area while still maintaining a modern front. The height of spaces within the library were played with to give every guest a special area to study or read in during their time within the space.

7 PITTSBURG HIGH SCHOOL Pittsburg, Kansas

DLR Group May 2017 - December 2017 Schematic Design - Design Development Revit, Illustrator and Photoshop Project Team: Joe Breidenbach, Tammie Crocker and Gretchen Kelly Pittsburg School District was looking into expanding their music program, created a cafeteria that had its own dedicated space and revamp their use of a library. Within the project I assisted from conceptual design through the end of design development. I designed interior spaces, assist in the design of the exterior facades. Through the project, I sat in all client, code and team meetings.

Responsibilities included all graphics and layouts for this project and effectively communicating the work to the Pittsburg community and school.
