01 Passive House Design The Ionia Residence was a collaboration between Architectura PC and Rochester Passive House Consulting. I worked thorugh multiple initial design visualizations based on the program provided by the clients. After an initial client review, the design was further developed to allow light to enter through clerestories in the great room and a stepped facade was introduced to allow for views south from all rooms. Once an initial design was approved by the clients, I assisted in the production of construction documents. My role focused on floor plans, exterior elevations, and detailing to meet Passive House standards. The clients chose to forgo applying for Passive House Certification in order to manage the of cost of the project.

03 Schematic Design A large part of my role at Architectura has been developing and performing visualizations of intial design ideas. The following diagrams, elevations, and three-dimensional perspectives have all allowed clients to gain a better understanding of the design intent, massing, materiality, and relationship of spaces before proceeding into the construction document phases.
