Palouse Airport IDAHO FORESTS PRODUCTS COMMISSION
Studio | Spring 2020 First Place
The Palouse Airport design seeks to use mass timber to create a contrast between the orthagonal intentions and curvilineal landscape. This project’s goal was to redesign a current, aging airport on the Washington-Idaho border with a proposed solution that would ensure future maximum capacity through 2050 while providing a relaxed, comfortable space. The Idaho Forest Products Commission partners with the University of Idaho College of Art and Architecture and the Idaho Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The contest aims to identify the best use of Idaho wood in an architectural design that demonstrates a creative solution.

Palouse Airport
IDAHO CONCRETE MASONRY ASSOCIATION
Studio | Spring 2020 Third Place
The Palouse Airport design uses concrete masonry units to create a contrast between the orthagonal intention of the building design and surrounding curvilineal landscape. This project’s goal was to redesign a current, aging airport on the Washington-Idaho border with a proposed solution that would ensure future maximum capacity through 2050 while providing a more relaxed, comfortable space. The Idaho Concrete Masonry Association sponsors an annual competition to identify the best use of concrete masonry units in an architectural design that demonstrates a creative solution and knowledgable application.

Sol Duc Cabin OLSON KUNDIG CASE STUDY
Spring 2020
The Sol Duc Cabin by Olson Kundig allowed for a unique case study into architecture with large, moving panels. The 350-square-foot cabin is situated in the Olympic Peninsula, perched above the landscape with manually-operated panels that slide on hardware repurposed from sliding barn doors. The cabin seals up entirely when it’s not in use to protect the cabin from the harsh, temperate rainforest of the surrounding area.

Duncan Cedar Memorial
OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK
Studio | Fall 2019 This project sought to understand the relationship between sculpture and architectural space through form, scale, and material. The relationship between the minimal form and the surrounding physical space was closely studied and the final form highlights two major elements on opposite sides of the project. One side is a viewing area for a fallen tree beginning to go back to the earth and the other side is a sapling from the fallen tree, a symbol of rebirth and hope for the future.

Light & Shadow COLLAGE STUDY
Self-Directed Study | Fall 2020 Light allows us to see the world around us and understand physical harmony and contrasts. It can be manipulated and controlled, especially through masses and planes. This study collected a series of perspectives that used masses to tell a story and demonstrate how light and shadow can affect how a space is perceived.

Kayak Lab OLYMPIC PENINSULA LEARNING CENTER
Studio | Fall 2019
The Kayak Lab evolved from research about the Olympic Peninsula and the historic relationship that the native people have with the land. This learning center would provide a place for 16 students to work with a skilled craftsman trained in traditional boat building. This project proposes a long, manmade channel that flows into the nearby Crescent Lake for ease of access for the kayaks and also brings the relationship with the waters of the lake as close as possible.
