This large scale project contained a multitude of spaces, including office space, lobby, library, bar, fitness center, cafe, and courtyard. As the headquarters of a quickly growing company, this project was meant to reflect the diverse backgrounds of the employees and clients. Each floor represents a different continent, with spaces further broken out by country and city. With a very tight budget, the goal of this project was to delineate spaces through groupings of floating rooms. The negative spaces created by these groupings created natural open areas ideal for breakout and collaboration. Through this method, “rooms” were created without the need to build extra walls.

Pockets created between floating boxes create activated zones of collaboration and engagement without the need for additional walls. .

Left: Floorplates were inspired by the solid and void relationship exhibited in these diagrams of cities from around the world. Right: Each floor was designated as a separate continent and then broken down to the scale of country and city - representing the diverse background of Medallia’s employees.

Each room that was built was one of a catalog of predefined, prefab boxes. With five different types (phone rooms, huddle/offices, medium2 and large conference rooms, and booths), a variety of configurations was possible that allowed the most efficent and interesting use of space possible. I was involved in all aspects of this project, working from design through construction administration. Much of my time was spent designing and detailing the prefabricated plywood boxes as well as putting together the construction documents for this complex, eight story project.

Enclosed rooms are created from a kit of parts. Each room type is duplicated and differentiated on each floor with variated stains and wood patters. The interiors of each room were co-designed with employees originating from the country each room represents. .

Common Grounds is a new coworking concept that is aiming to create an elevated experience. Each location is centered around a cafe open to the pubic showcasing gourmet Italian coffee as well as freshly made food prepated by a personal chef. Common Grounds aims to blur the lines between public and private and create a community space where all are welcome. Rapt has worked with Common Grounds to create space standards as they begin a large push to open up multiple locations across the country as well as designing the first six of their spaces. Each new location will follow one of three palettes in order to maintain a consistent ethos across all spaces.

All locations provide both a cafe open to the public and more private pantries dedicated to Common Grounds members.

JONES LANG LASALLE - FINAL DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION - 30 MAY 2017 | 10

JLL Activating the Human Experience F I R M | M Moser Associates L O C A T I O N | San Francisco, CA S I Z E | 32,000 SF C O M P L E T E D | November, 2017

This office space refelcts the city it helps shape, San Francisco. Taking two upper floors in the heart of the Financial District, attention was paid to preserving the views and light present in the space. Two of the most distinctive features of the space are its reception area and the new stair created to connect the two levels. Visitors are greeted by a dynamic wall with backlit perforated metal. The lights are programed to gently dim and move, echoing the lights of the city as the fog rolls in. Directly adjacent to this wall is the new connecting staircase, painted to match the Golden Gate Bridge. I was involved in all phases of this project - from programming through construction

JLL wished to capture the spirit of the city they help build - San Francisco. Finishes throughout the space reflect icons of the city including the Golden Gate Bridge, fog, and industrial materials.

administration. This project allowed me to work on all aspects of design as

well as taking the lead on coordination between our subcontractors

and artists. Both the rope work of the stair and the specialty lighting display behind the reception desk took an immense amount of planning and coordination with a very short timeline.

Each of these pieces were

integral to creating the office JLL was looking for that reflected not only the values of their company, but also the city they are helping transform.

JONES LANG LASALLE - FINAL

The reception area was of particular importance to JLL. It needed to evoke the movement and livliness that San Francisco is full of. Many design iterations were considered with the final design incorporating custom perforated metal panels with programmable LEDs behind.

We endeavour to harness that energy and to express it throughout the design of the new Beijing Envision space. As both a client experience center and office space, the Beijing office needed to incorporate a multitude of highly technical experiences while remaining quiet and peaceful to promote productivity. This is achieved by creating zones of spaces ranging from most to least public.

CONCRETE POTENTIALS Redefining Traditional Waffle Slab Systems

CONCRETE POTENTIALS Redefining Traditional Waffle Slab Systems T A U B M A N C O L L E G E | Thesis 2016 L O C A T I O N | Packard Plant/Detroit P R O F E S S O R | Tsz Yan Ng + Wes McGee T E A M | Wren Kidder

Concrete waffle slab systems came of age during the 20th Century, when innovation was driven by the desire for industrialized efficiency and regularity. This new system outperformed older, comparable structures through its use of a network of orthogonal ribs, which efficiently rationalized the labor involved in casting, amount of material used, and overall performance of the slab. Though these advances are still used to this day, a reinterpretation of the latent spatial possibilities of the traditional system will allow for an exploration into new possibilities and iterations of the waffle slab. By pushing back on the normative logic and strict regularity of an orthogonal column grid, our project

aims to develop a variegated waffle slab structural system with corresponding spatial effects. Traditionally, waffle slabs are produced by setting identical void forms on a regular grid and casting the negative in concrete. This system relies on consistency and replication to ensure proper casting. However, advancements in digital fabrication technology now allow for freedom from identical replication, which was not economically feasible due to labor costs. Robotic hot-wire cutting fabricates unique and varied void forms for casting rapidly and accurately, which enables a higher level of complexity and variability in the design of the finished built space. This technique offers the possibility of

the formwork to have variable rib depth, thickness, and complex geometries. The apex of industrial efficiency, the Packard Automotive Plant in Detroit, was the first reinforced concrete factory. Now derelict, its use of twentieth-century concrete technology provides a clear juxtaposition to the proposed irregular waffle slabs. By inserting a unique waffle slab into the remnants of industrial order, we hope to illustrate the potentials in rethinking standardized systems; combining the logic and efficiency of mass production with the potential of mass customization and simultaneously, to offer unique designs for inhabitation.

TRADITONAL WAFFLE SLAB

Traditional waffle slabs take advantage of regularity. Even the work by Nervi, which beigns to alter the rectilinearity of waffle slabs, contineues to keep the slab at a constant depth, limiting its structural efficiency.

Traditional waffle slab systems take advantage of the efficiency inherent in repetition. With a regular grid of identical void forms, both the production and installation of the formwork involved in the slab is made more streamlined and effiicient. The strucutrural efficiency is lacking, however. In our system we aim to modify three major characteristics of what makes a waffle slab. The first is the regular spacing of columns. By creating a system that does not depend on regularity in column spacing, new spatial possibilites are

RECONCEPTUALIZED WAFFLE SLAB

made feasible. The second characteristic we modify is the regularity in waffle size. In order to create more variation and structural efficiency, waffle sizes react to their proximity to and size of column. Our third modification comes in the form of variable slab height. By allowing slabs to span not only one floor but merge between two, spaces are allowed to open up and interact with their surroundings. We are also able to achieve porosity in this situation with the added structural support of a curved slab.

Each waffle slab is divided into territories defined by column placement. Depending on proximity to one another, each territory’s size is dependent on the load that each column will take. The territory size also dictates the size of colum. From here, each territory is divided into rings which become more spaced apart with greater distance from the column center. Within each ring, cells are determined by a maximum width, with each ring allowing the cells to be further and furhter spaced apart.

Once each cell is determined, a lofted void form is created including a tapered body to help with demolding and a cap that includees a rounded top. This cap can be altered to give a different appearance to the finished waffle slab or made taller to create a void within the territory. Each territory acts as an of umbrella, with no interaction of forces between territories. Each column takes the load of its territory with the edges having zero moment forces, allowing for the edges to be extremely thin.

The production of the waffle slab involves placing the robotically cut void forms in their predetermined layout, guided by simple prints of the pattern. The formwork involves first placing the base of each void pieve, secured by a central rod. Next, the plastic membracen is placed over the base forms, creating the varible surface that the concrete will be poured onto. The tops of each void form are then placed, secured by a nut to hold each void form in place during the casting process. On top of this is the cap with

the its rounded top. The cap covers the nut in order to create a clean seam on the finished waffle and also allowing for a secure fit. Concrete is then poured over the formwork to create the finished waffle slab with an even surface on top and a variable surface on the bottom side. The elasticity of the plastic gives a rounded surface to the underside of the waffle, adding to the variable aeshtetic achieved by the system.

WOLVERINE PLACE A TOD for a growing Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor is a bustiling college town and home to the University of Michigan Wolverines. Located just west of Detroit and just a few hours east of Chicago, Ann Arbor proves to be a hotpsot of train activity in the area, shuttling commuters between the two metro regions. As this train traffic picks up, which Amtrak is expecting, the Ann Arbor station will need to be updated and expanded. In addition to a new station, Amtrak is expecting to add three new tracks to its existing infrastructure of two tracks to expedite traffic, both

The west end of the development include two office buildings, two residential towers, a senior living center, and a community center and bike shop.

The new development takes over an unsued piece ofl land overlooking the Huron River and takes advantage of major transit networks already in place to form a community flanked by numerous transit options

commuter and passenger. Wolverine Place proposes that this new tran station be located exactly where the old one exists, along with a new Transit Orient Development taking advantage of the prime real estate that exists next to this scale of transit infrastructure. The site is split into three zones--a residential area close to the Huron River that includes some ground floor office and retail space, the expanded train station itself, including a luxury hotel and conference center, and an office zone wih residential buildings ending the axis. The

whole development sit on top of a three level podium which satisfies the parking requirement of 2,000 spaces that Amtrak has issued. The site takes over a location in the city often overlooked and unused and proposes a dense development to make best use of a beautiful site overlooking the Huron River. Flanked by Kerrytown to the South and the Medical Campus to its east, the development acts as a transition between the residential scale and monumental scale of the hospital.

WATERWORKS.DETROIT A ParaInfrastructure for the North End

T A U B M A N C O L L E G E | Fall 2014 L O C A T I O N | North End/Detroit P R O F E S S O R | V. Mitch McEwen

WATERWORKS.DETROIT is a project intended to address two pressing, and seemingly contradictory, concerns in the city of Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the unprecedented water shut-offs occuring in tandem with massive flooding throughout the metropolitan region. Located in the North End, a neighborhood just above of the thriving Midtown yet struggling like much of the city to maintain residents, the project uses the persistent flooding to its advantage by creating a secondary water supply system for the neighborhood. By reappropriating

the vacant lots that populate the area into water collection and filtration zones surrounded by productive farmland, the areas that were once seen as blight are transformed into neighborhood assets. The water collection zones reduce the widespread flooding that occurs throughout the city due to its outdated sewer system while simultaneously providing a new point of access for clean water. The new water infrastructure is held together by a central hub that acts as a public restaurant, information center, and food distribution center.

The water infrastructure proposed for the neighborhood engages all scales, from the neighborhood to individual users. In addition to the neighborhood filtration zones, individual buildings collect water from their roofs and individual residents are given a portable water filtration device designed in the form of water bottle in order to allow Detroit residents to find and filter their own water anywhere in the city.

Paravascular System

Vascular System

Brain Matter

Inspired by the Paravascular system in the brain, a little understood system used to flush toxins out of the cerebrospinal fluid, a network of urban farms and water collection points are created as a parainfrastructure in the North End neighborhood of Detroit. This para-infrastructure works parallel and in addition to existing municipal infrastructure systems in order to reduce the large scale and common flooding of streets while at the same time increasing access to nutritions food.

The North End is similar to the rest of Detroit in its struggle to maintain residential population and keep up with the demands of its infrastructure. With so much decay and vacancy, the neighborhood is a breeding ground for crime and disorder. By taking over these vacant lots and reimagining them as retention zones, the neighborhood is able to turn its blighted land into its biggest asset. By creating a network of water filtration and retention zones, the water that normally overwhelms Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewerage system is able

to be used at the neighborhood level. This supports urban farming initiatives as well as providing the residents of the North End a water supply unaffiliated with the beaurocracy of the city. This network is held together by a central hub providing a community meeting point that displays the efforts of the collective to improve food and clean water access to the area residents. With an adjoining urban farm, the space is a showcase of the potential for neglected lots throughout the city of Detroit.

The Central Hub acts as both a cultural mixing zone as well as a living filtration organism. With filters built into the roof feeding into collection cisterns, the public is able to see and participate in the cleansing of their water. As a means to give the residents of the North End more ownership over their water usage, a portable water bottle with a built-in, pop-up filter witht the same filtration technology as the roof is designed and distributed across the city.

Detroit was a once great city now crumbling as it struggles to keep up with modern times. The city has witnessed a mass exodus of its population, dwindling down to around 600,000 from a peak of more than 2 million. Filled with vacant land and crumbling infrastructure, the neighborhoods of Detroit acta as a new frontier--one in which residents must fight their way through desolation and into a modern economic model. Social.Circles takes on this new frontier, creating a residential enclave with immediate density focused around the computerized world. With the internet acting as our new social platforms, our lives are constantly on display. These residential units are formed into a circle, creating constant views of neighbors who may only know each other through the digital world in which they live.

Left: Units are arranged in a circle, exposing the lives of neighbors to wandering eyes, much like the internete allows us all to do everyday. Right: Images of the Panopticon are contrasted with images of emerging technology that allow others to monitor our every move. We may be living in a panoptic world without realizing.

design skills I had acquired over the course of my education while focusing

the opportunity to design and build an heirloom quality piece of furniture. By designing a console table/liquor cabinet, I was able to apply the on the details that are often overlooked when designing on a larger scale. With this cabinet, each element, down to the adjustable feet of the base, had to be resolved in order to create a successful piece. Over the course of 10 weeks, I was able to bring this table from the sketchbook into reality.

The console table is made from a blackened steel frame and cabinet nestled within made from Khaya wood. The cabinet doors slide to expose two side compartments or one central compartment with a metal shelf.
