The New Neighborhood, three lot development. Empire, Michigan. Robin Ann Johnson, Architect.
This development aims to introduce a retail component into a residential neighborhood. All residences have a space that could be used for commercial purposes. Working side by side with one of the architects of The New Neighborhood, I produced a set of renderings and a Revit BIM model that could be sold along with the vacant lots. The process began by modeling the architect’s design using Revit and then the surrounding context. Next, colors, details, and planting were added using Impression and Photoshop to give them the watercolor textures and look.

Entrance and Facade Renovation. Holland, Michigan. Martin Smith, Architect
Working with an existing building structure, the client requested a design for an entrance and a facade system that could be used in this long and flat building. As new tenants require space for their business, the module should be flexible enough to accommodate their needs.

Fundacion CASA Master Plan. Venezuela. Martin Smith, Architect.
This master plan illustrates possible options for the development of land for a future orphanage in Venezuela. The existing conditions for the plan included seven built structures that needed to be made part of the overall solution. A key component in this solutions is the introduction of a hotel (or rental apartments) as a way to generate income.

Campus Master Plan. Andrews University. Group, Academic Project.
The 2013 master plan “Is a far-reaching plan of action for the development and preservation of the physical campus. It is intended to guide administrators, designers, and supporters in their efforts to improve its facilities and environment over the long term... “This Campus Master Plan emphasizes whole human health and its relationship to our physical environment. The physical arrangement of our campus promotes certain aspects of whole health but challenges others, and the strategies and guidelines contained herein are intended to help safeguard the blessing of health through environmental design. Regular contact with creation, an emphasis on walking, and home-like residential surroundings play a big role here.” (2013 AU Campus Master Plan).

CREATION School Campus. Celebration, Florida. Individual, Academic Project.
The biggest challenge faced when designing this school was the proximity to major highways on two fronts. It meant that the school needed to isolate and keep out the pollution that roadways emit while maintaining a respectable face to the community. The design process began using the example of Christopher Alexander’s pattern language by creating our own patterns and creating a written document of what was needed to solve the issues encountered with the site, client, and overall image. The guiding concept behind all major decisions focused on three words: live, learn and grow. These words apply to the meaning for what was expected for the students and most importantly, the sustainability of the building itself.

J.N. Andrews Honors Thesis
Sustainability in School Architecture: Learning from tradition and modernity. Advisors: Andrew von Maur and Thomas Lowing Abstract: The terms “sustainability,” “sustainable,” or “green” are often used to define products or processes that ironically result in limited or negative environmental benefits. Today, our contemporary building construction industry tends to solve environmental performance issues with technological solutions that in some instances have become superficial “green” practices. At times, they lead to counterproductive outcomes and tend to disregard environmental lessons and processes used in the historical building traditions. The best traditional architecture responds to local environmental issues using the generational lessons from the past and present. The goal of this thesis is to identify how the best sustainable building practices found in tradition and modernity can inform the design of a Seventh-day Adventist school in Florida. A school was designed based on the literary review. A computer model was then built of the new design to see how it compared to a LEED certified school.

A Community Chapel Niles, Michigan
The site for this chapel sits on a slope that ends on the St. Joseph river. The monolithic aesthetic is a representation of a cave where rays of lights are introduced to create an ambience reminiscent of the burning bush in the Bible. The chapel and it’s tower are not meant to be the main focus of the piazza, the river is. The stairs that connect the river front to the chapel’s main entrance is meant as a space to stop and rest allowing for a diversity of users throughout the day.

Affordable Housing. Niles, Michigan.
Inspiration for these row houses came from research done of San Francisco and Boston housing developments. The public and private space are delineated using the stairs. The front entrances are recessed to provide a covered area and are deep enough to clearly mark a shadow line in each entrance. Each unit consist of two upper floors and a possible rental basement. A car shed in the back reduces the on-street parking and allows for a direct entrance to the kitchen.

Academic and Professional Models. This section contains models crafted to represent the structure of a building and the final look of a design. I feel models are very helpful in architecture because they help visualize in a tactile format a any design. Moreover, it is my personal experience that model making has taught me patience, attention to detail and the ability to visualize space more than any other medium that I have practiced.
