Photography My photography study while abroad inspired this studio project. I sequenced hundreds of snapshots together and lead the viewer’s eye on a journey through Paris. I wanted the architecture to have the same color and snapshot quality. Impressionism I used the colorful and fragmented qualities of Impressionism and created a multi-faceted program and vibrant layers of architecture. I wanted visitors to experience “snapshots” of French life through the mixed-use areas and complex layers of colors and materials.

The Science of Dreaming and Spatial Progression I compared the transition from the community to a place of creative freedom to the science behind sleep. With each successive stage, the architecture transitions from an area of higher activity to lower energy and calm. Passing through the building as a whole allows the user to experience multiple cycles of the progression. With each cycle, the user gently leaves behind familiar materials and views and enters quieter rooms filled with sun, rich, warm textures, and the opportunity to practice art.
Concept: Science & Form
To transport patients from reality to artistic freedom and self-discovery, the progression is based on the sequence of sleep and dreaming.

The Center for
Literary Studies Urban Studies Studio
The Center for Literary Studies is a hub for all age groups as well as a incubator for an artist-inresidence. The challenge was to create a cohesive but accomodating center for many use groups. Visual Connecting Multiple Programs A dollhouse-like effect is created by halving the building with a walkway, which in effect visually connects each programmatic area and showcases the bustling community to passersby. Thermal Mass A thermal mass trombe wall on the south facade creates a visually interesting curbside appeal while also providing heat gain/loss advantages for the building. Lastly, it creates privacy for the private artist residence, lecture space, and reading rooms.

First Community Church Phillip Markwood Architects | Columbus, OH | Sep 2013 - Current
Our team worked closely on a variety of religious institutions’ renovations and new constructions. We worked to infuse each space with spiritual symbolism and create a rich architectural experience that was uplifting as well as prayerful and reverent.

Material selection
Because of the small studio setting, I was able to contribute substantially across many projects and phases, but most specifically to renderings and presentation drawings.
Baccarat Flagship Store Architecture at Large | New York, NY | Spring 2012
High-end crystal company, Baccarat, asked us to rebrand their image for their Madison Avenue flagship store: We imagined something luxurious, modern, and appealing to a chic, young New York City consumer. Using dark woods, luminescent floor tiles, and sophisticated geometric motifs, the new store design aimed to cast centuries-old crystal designs in a new and modern light.
Team Role
In addition to space planning and choosing materials, I designed and rendered the featured crystal displays and assisted with the marker renderings.

In order to ignite the development of a new city center in Xiamen, GBBN Architects was asked to design a residential, retail, and entertainment master plan. With these renderings, we helped the client envision a lively neighborhood. In six weeks, our team designed the neighborhood in Sketchup physical models, and submitted a proposal and renderings to the Chinese government.
Team Role
I helped design the retail district and curvilinear form. A professional renderer created our final images.

Huangdao Financial Tower GBBN Architects | Beijing, China | Fall 2011
Our GBBN Beijing office team worked together to create a mixed-use tower in Huangdao. The form completes a half-circle waterfront complex with retail space on the street level floors. The financial offices seem to organically grow and twist upward, and overlook the water and city center.
Team Role I generated Sketchup iterations for client review. From these options a final design was chosen, professionally rendered (below), and sent for goverment approval.
