Primary design worked on Project Iconic: 25,000 square meters of mixed use program located in Cap d'Agde, a prominent mediterranean port in the south of France. Two parts of four cylindrical stepped buildings and public promenade lined with retail and recreation space. Combined efforts on Project Iconic include head of team Michela Tonus, Sharon Adamco, Jean-Charles Bel, Aurore Guiset, Marie Leyh, Guillaume Renaud, Paolo Silvestre, and Socaina Tlich. Some tasks included updating existing building elevations and construction documents, creating 3d model to visualize structure, and scheduling for interior hardware.

The newly constructed U.S. Bank Stadium engages Vikings fans while the Minneapolis Armory attracts concert goers and music fans. With all these amenities in place, the neighborhood lacks an intersection of live and work.

Beacon of intersection
Sector is a beacon of modern mixed use work/living for East Town that will enhance the cultural and social atmosphere as well as be a catalyst for healthy growth. Explicit and implicit means of intersection are the driving force of the tower design, with a shared grand lobby space to the expressed diagrid structure.

Project RITA is a collaborative effort by studio 509 to create a space of wellbeing for students in architecture and design. With studio culture comes intensive hours indoors, inducing mental & physical strain.
Transforming the once unused site through materiality and user experience makes RITA a thoughtfully designed space that promotes mental rest and sense of community. Project scope included 16 weeks of collective design, research, crowdfunding, and building. 51

Building an Oasis
Shenandoah Switch Grass (panicum virgatum "shenandoah")
Soft Rush (juncus effusus)
Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass (calamagrostis x acutiflora)
Moonshine Yarrow (achillea x "moonshine")
As landscape coordinator it was my job to research, configure, and integrate an array of plants that would transform the site. Added green space promotes mental rest and heightens sensory experience
54
Pampas Grass (cortaderia selloana)
Palm Sedge (carex muskingumensis)
Gro-low Fragrant Sumac (rhus aromatica)
Sea Green Juniper (juniperus x pfitzeriana "sea green"
Native plants frame and screen the site, consisting mostly of prairie and ornamental grasses. Using existing concrete foundation as a planter becomes a centerpiece which celebrates the Kansas landscape.
