The Vision Fort Wayne Design Center and the protects produced were done in a team of five. My involvement as Design Team Leader and Cofounder was to create the concept of the project proposal, create the program, lead the design, and coordinate all the moving parts of our clients with moving towards a successful product.

The design problem was to compose a scheme for a 200 unit housing development. We wanted to sell the idea of creating a unique urban living option of townhouses and apartments that had indoor and outdoor access. All the while breaking the conservative tendencies of the city.

Having a mixture of townhouse and apartment style of living was aimed at adding variety to chose and used to create a diverse community. The townhouse portion of the development would have an option for ownership as well as rent. We also saw the potential for future commercial space to acquire property on site.
The open floor plan & option of purchase was a critical feature to the design.

Five overall design ideas were stressed in the presentation being urban relation to historic brownstone development, open floor plan, sub grad parking, public courtyard, and semi private/ public patio/roof top areas. These characteristics of the design allowed for future flexibility in use, a unique living option in the city, connection with
East Alley surrounding environment, and added space from semi public/private space. The project heavily influenced the future use of the site and gave great incite into the design and potential of the development. The project will be used as a template for developers for the bidding process later this year, 2014.

The Vision Fort Wayne Projects team was lead by myself to revive a “dead� development project. We used our modeling, rendering and presentation skills to create a project that gave the city vision on a vacant site within the downtown could be utilized as. We were successful in moving past site location to our proposed site.
Eventually culminating in site purchase and $71 million investment to construct headquarters for the Ash Brokerage firm. My efforts were critical in developing project program, presentation, concept, modeling and overall vision and goal of the project.

The Estopinal Competition was a partner based project that had the interesting challenge of creating a boutique hotel and culinary school at Panam Plaza on Georgia St. in downtown Indianapolis. The site is situated on a critical gathering space for events at the convention center, Bankers Life Fieldhouse, and Lucas Oil Stadium.
We were approached to devise ideas on how to better utilize the plaza and the recent activation of Georgia St. especially for the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis. My involvement included project concept and development, modeling, diagrams and rendering.

The master plan of Indianapolis was based off of L’ Enfant’s planning scheme, similar to Washington D.C. We wanted to stress one of the lost diagonals which originally ran through the middle of our site. The concept was to create an interior pedestrian street inside the main lobby that could be utilized by the public during the winter

and during large events in the plaza and on Georgia St. The Culinary school, being on the smaller portion of the arcade would have access to sell and display culinary product and double as a market area as well.

The Seymour, Indiana Cottage Design Project addressed a need for a private residence in southern Indiana in a wooded area. Dealing with typography and the natural surroundings was critical. The house was not intended to be a permanent dwelling space but rather for visits from a small family.

This particular neighborhood has a unique topographical situation and is much higher than the surrounding around. Terraced housing and mixed use development oriented towards the creek by extension of the traditional grid help to grab the natural views of the area.
