St. Charles Retreat

Fall 2012- Prof. Dan Naegele

M ulti P urpose - S hielded -E xploration Tucking itself into the natural grade of the Central Iowa

landscape, this rural retreat center uses natural topography to provide a getaway for its guests. The retreat is divided into two wings, one for longer term guests and one for shortterm, multi-purpose programs. The slightly concaved profile of the building provides a shielded outdoor space, helping the guests relax and explore the rural surroundings.

Ghost Lands Studio

Summer 2012- Prof. Patrick Rhodes

C ommunity - S tory T elling - I dentity Three projects were designed and built, The Outhouse, a bench and a sign for Mackey, Iowa. The primary project was the outhouse. The project replaces a destroyed outhouse, with one that provides users with a space for recollection, and storytelling. Three sides of the outhouse were constructed with salvaged windows and doors to “frame� the surroundings of Mackey. The sign is a marker to those passing through the town, and aims to help build awareness of the fading community to the public. The bench is an enhancing feature to the adjacent church and cemetery.

03 SoHo Housing

Spring 2013- Prof. Cal Lewis - Partner: Greg Vose

S treet S cape - S hared S pace - C ontext The neighborhood of SoHo is rich in tradition and architecture. This project responds to the adjacent context with a modern spin on the cast-iron facades of the early 1900’s. The building implements a terra-cotta panel system as exterior skin. Interior spaces explore the habitation of vertical space, primarily the main atrium serving for circulation and public space for each floor. Located behind the living units is a courtyard, dually serving as a light well for circulation to each unit and the lower retail spaces.

04 Industrial Museum

Fall 2013-Prof. Cham Subisinghe-Parter: Alex Olevitch

F abric - I nteraction - E fficiency The city of Columbus has many famous works of architecture that are disconnected from each other, standing alone within the fabric of the city. The relationship between the First Christian Church and I.M. Pei’s library is one of the few examples of architectural responses within the city. As a response to this interaction and to avoid object-like disturbance within the city, the museum exists primarily underground. Making a play on levels between the church, library and visitor’s center, the museum weaves a connection between each element.

The exhibits of the museum explore the ratio between objects on display and objects in storage within contemporary museums. The industrial objects exhibit uses a series of robotics to retrieve items and display them to the user, a system of “storage on display.� The architectural archives implement a high-density library to maximize items on display.

05 Marfa Housing Competition F abric - I nteraction - E fficiency This flexible construction system has the ability to be utilized in site-specific applications throughout Marfa, Texas and other towns across the Southwest. Specific to the site in Marfa the design includes 4 two-bedroom units and 4 one-bedroom efficiencies. In addition to the units, rentable community space is available along the northern edge of the site. This includes two covered pavilions and a pool for the owners/renters of the units.

Overlapping Planes

Photovoltaic Panels

Roof Extensions

Ventilation

Roof planes extend and overlap to create light shelves. Harsh sunlight is blocked and diffused light is reflected into the interior space.

Photovoltaic systems are incorporated into the roof panels, collecting southern sunlight and converting it into electricity.

Extending the roof plane far enough to match the angles of harsh summer sun rays will protect the vertical walls and interior space from excessive heat gain.

Sinking the units and providing operable louvers keeps the space cooler and out of the sun while providing cross ventilation to move through the space.
