Omaha, Nebraska - Urban Garden

Academic | John Andrews Partners | Tori Dunsten, Seth Hadenfeldt Spring Semeseter 2023 | 14 weeks Professor | Brian Kelly Softwares Used | Rhino, Revit, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lumion The redevelopment of this once-underutilized site is an initiative dedicated to easing the gap of food deserts by creating a thriving nexus of accessible resources. Anchoring the redevelopment is a state-ofthe-art grocery store, strategically placed to cater to the needs of the community. The store is designed to provide not only fresh, affordable produce but also a diverse range of grocery items. Adjacent to the store, a vibrant cluster of food vendors forms a bustling marketplace, offering a variety of culinary experiences that celebrate local flavors. As a beacon of sustainability, the redevelopment integrates innovative greenhouses, where community members can participate in cultivating their produce and gain valuable agricultural knowledge. This holistic approach not only addresses the challenge of food deserts but also fosters a sense of community, economic empowerment, and environmental stewardship, transforming the site into a model for inclusive urban development.

Our design approach emphasizes the importance of Me Space, We Space, and Public Space. Me Space is located in the residential units and provides individuals with a private sanctuary. We Space is crucial for establishing smaller micro-communities and is where the community growers, horticulture classroom users, and urban farm workers come together. Finally, Public Space is designated for shopping and serves as a gathering spot for diverse groups of people who may become part of the smaller micro-communities on the site. This balance of private and public spaces creates a vibrant and inclusive community.

Carved Space | Alley Ways Along its exterior, the building strategically carves out inviting alleyways, transforming these passageways into vibrant, multifunctional spaces for public use. Adorned with murals that serve as wayfinding devices the building’s exterior becomes a living gallery that not only activates the surrounding space but also fosters a sense of connection and identity. As sunlight filters through the architectural gaps, the murals come to life, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the repurposed alley. This approach not only redefines the building’s exterior but also revitalizes the cityscape, encouraging social interactions, cultural appreciation, and a renewed sense of community engagement. Nestled beneath an impressive cantilever, this public space unfolds as a vibrant hub of community life, seamlessly blending street markets and outdoor dining. The cantilever, extending protectively overhead, serves as both a functional shelter and an architectural focal point

Greenhouse The three-story greenhouse stands as a verdant oasis within the urban landscape, redefining its purpose beyond supplying produce to the community. Each tier of this structure serves as a dynamic space where agriculture and leisure intertwine seamlessly. The lower level houses a thriving urban farm, bursting with rows of fresh produce and fragrant herbs, providing a sustainable source of nourishment for the local community. The middle floor transforms into a serene park space, complete with winding pathways, shaded seating, and vibrant flower beds, inviting the public to unwind amidst the greenery. At the apex, a panoramic rooftop garden offers panoramic views of the city skyline, creating a picturesque setting for relaxation and community gatherings. This three-storey greenhouse not only fulfills the critical role of providing fresh, locally sourced food but also emerges as a harmonious fusion of agriculture and recreation, enriching the urban experience for all.

Grand Island, Nebraska - Cohousing Village Academic | John Andrews Spring Semeseter 2022 | 6 weeks Professor | Steve Hardy Softwares Used | Rhino, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lumion, Midjourney This project envisions a sustainable and inclusive cohousing community nestled on the edge of a lake. The project seamlessly integrates modern design with simple dwellings. This cohousing community is fitted with ample communal spaces, fostering a sense of shared living while maximizing the scenic waterfront views. Residents enjoy a harmonious blend of private and communal areas, such as shared kitchen, living, and dining spaces. Other ammenities include suanas, communal gardens, and recreation pavillion, which houses space for performances, meetings, and recreational games. This design focuses on encouraging a close-knit community that prioritizes sustainability, connection with nature, and a tranquil lakeside lifestyle.

Communal Living Space Nestled within the heart of our cozy cohousing community, the shared living space exudes warmth and camaraderie. The interior is thoughtfully designed to foster a sense of togetherness, with an inviting living room adorned in earthy tones and plush, communal seating arrangements. Soft ambient lighting, sourced from handmade pendant lamps, bathes the room in a gentle glow, creating an intimate atmosphere. Natural materials, like reclaimed wood and woven textiles, adorn the space, providing a rustic yet modern aesthetic. A central fireplace serves as a focal point, casting a comforting warmth during colder evenings. This shared living area encourages spontaneous interactions, movie nights, and collaborative gatherings, embodying the spirit of our close-knit cohousing community. These intimate apartments are a haven designed to weather storms with grace and resilience. Its exterior showcases large, sturdy shutters that envelop the dwelling, providing a protective barrier against the tempestuous forces of nature. Crafted from robust materials, the shutters not only serve as a formidable shield but also contribute to the charm of the apartment’s design. When closed, they create a cocoon-like sanctuary, blocking out the howling winds and torrential rains.

Urban Renewal Omaha, Nebraska - New Union Station

Academic | John Andrews Partner | Mollie Pieper Fall Semeseter 2022 | 12 weeks Professor | Ashley Byars & William DeRoin Softwares Used | Rhino, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lumion, Grasshopper This project explores reviving Omaha’s depleted rail system. This is framed by the recent plans to revitalize downtown with new public parks, business towers, residential developments, and streetcar routes. This is achieved by creating a new train station that serves as the eastern gate into Nebraksa. The station will be accompanied by a food hall and bar center, a hotel, and a recreation park to the east. Other factors that were considered were the potential to connect to the new streetcar lines as well as a sky tram system that can connect visitors to the Council Bluffs side of the river. Through these additions, the hope is to create a lively atmosphere that connects to Omaha’s existing belt of entertainment along the tenth street corridor.

Wellness Center Kansas City Art Institute

Academic | John Andrews Fall Semeseter 2021 | 12 weeks Professor | Peter Olshavsky Softwares Used | Rhino, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Enscape This project explores wellness. This is framed by several parameters for the project. Some of which include the existing painting building adjacent to the site, the slope of the topography, the south facing nature of the lot, as well as necessary programing such as a courtyard, pool, yoga studio, and gym. The intention was to explore wellness through a sense of a shared experience, a connection to nature, and use of light. This will be achieved through sight lines which allow each program to observe another program within the center. This will also be achieved by locating a central courtyard which allows for clear sight lines, a connection to nature, as well as views out to the surrounding parks. Last light will be altered through changes in the height of windows and the presence of façade elements. This alteration will allow the space to feel intimate yet airy and allow for more efficient use of the buildings systems.

TOP: SECOND FLOOR PLAN BOTTOM: FIRST FLOOR PLAN

PERSPECTIVES

The pool space was the largest constraint within the project. The pool situated itself well along the southern face of the building. This allowed for ample sunlight and heat retention throughout the year. A track encompased the swimming pool. Doing so provided views for visitors to look down into the space. The yoga studio was positioned near the sunken courtyard to allow for views across the wellness center. Some windows were positioned along the floor. This was intended to enhance the experience of the participants.

YOGA STUDIO

The workout room is positioned above the yoga studio. The space is aplified by tall ceilings, expansive windows, and dynamic columns. Elevating the user above the street also allows for views towards the park and the Nelson Atkins just across the street.

Lincoln, Nebraska - Split Family Duplex Academic | John Andrews Spring Semeseter 2022 | 5weeks Professor | Steve Hardy Softwares Used | Rhino, Revit, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, D5 This project explores the relationship between architecture and the user’s story. Framed by the context of a divorced family aiming to remain as co-parents I was challenged to create a duplex that operates as three seperate units: One for parent A, one for parent B, and one for the children. The approach I took to achieve this was a plan which alternatede from side to side allowing for shared views between the units. For example unit A’s first floor shares views with unit B’s second floor, so when the children play outside all parents are still able to keep an eye on their children.

Despite the simple form the interior became quiet complex. The units inside began to alternate. This movement was meant to intertwin the the users and the units both metaphorically and physically. The third unit (children’s unit) was constructed off to the side, allowing for both the parental units to access the shared spaces at any given time.

Perspectives

The interior spaces were meant to feel large an airy even when the square footage was small. A large emphasis was plaecs on natural woods and white walls allowing for the space to open up in the day light.

I took heavy inspiration from the repition of form in this project. Square windows on the exterior often reflected square spaces on the interior, framed even further by half walls which created perfect square views outward.

FORM ARTICULATION

The stairs were an inegral part of this project. Clad in warm woods the space is meant to celebrate passing by the other unti. Elements like the hand rail, which is cut into the wall provide moments of interation between units as a small window looks onto the other side.
