Personal

Outside of my professional interests, I believe in using my training in the service of design advocacy. I was recently involved as a collaborator with the Architecture Foundation of Oregon and PDXplore in the PICA symposium ‘Crossing the Columbia’. I frequently volunteer to teach children with the Portland Safe Routes to Schools program and will be working with the Architecture Foundation of Oregon’s Architects in Schools program this coming spring. I race competitively as I did during graduate school as a member of the University of Washington Cycling Team and I frequently tour the charms of the Pacific Northwest on a vintage BMW motorcycle.

Grain Silo Atelier Ammann Arkitekten

Project:

Repurposing a Grain Silo into Live-Work Studios

Location:

Mulino, TI Switzerland

Response:

This project presents an opportunity to negotiate the divide between the fabric of an historic village and a contemporary intervention to an existing structure. Located in the Italian, Ticino region of Switzerland, the reductive response repurposes a turn of the century grain silo into three Live-Work studios maximizing floor area and flexibility. In order to maintain the structural integrity of the existing silo, the gridded cellular walls are to be selectively removed to allow for staged construction of three new interior slabs. A new penthouse structure replaces an existing wood structure, adding an entertainment space, kitchen, and roof deck. In the autumn and winter of 2009 I was responible for developing an initial schematic designincluding physical and computer models, structural schemes, sketch studies, and completing the permit drawings.

The board form and roughly sorted aggregate exterior of the silo is rendered by eighty years of patina. Stainless steel mesh panels of the new construction relate to the character of the existing form while providing a largely inaccessible maintenance free surface.

Project:

An extension to an existing workshop for a local furniture and interiors builder to be started in the autumn of 2009.

Location:

Sclamischot, Switzerland

Response:

A portion of the funding for the 2009 UW Swiss program was provided by a local furniture and interiors builder in exchange for design ideas for a pending addition to his existing workspace. During the two week charette I contributed my own design along with the students.

The design is a straight forward response to the pragmatics of the brief- a distinguished building with excellent light, an unobstructed volume for furniture craft, systemized construction methods that allow the client to self-build using local timber, and adherence to a limited budget.

The divided light of the open local forests informs the lighting scheme.

Daylight entering through toplights is divided by the structure and skylight wells. The structure and the floor buildup are composed of local timber elements that possess a single section in order to realize the efficiency of a standard series. The toplights also utilize a systemized construction method that allow for on site prefabrication.

A single entry, mixes clients, craftsmen, materials, and is articulated as an unfinished local larch plane against the robust skin of the volume.

Interior Perspective The interior structural wood stair is evident from the exterior approach and lands at the existing second level office entry.

Interior Perspective The entry, stair, and structure; places where clients and craftsman physically interact with the building- are tangible examples of craft and materiality.

In association with University of Washington

The overhead span behaves as a Vierendeel truss assembled from standard 6x20cm sections. These sections are used to assemble the columns as well. The structure is an expression of the clients commitment to innovation, efficiency, and craft.

An Architecture of Relationships - The Implications and Possibilities of an Evolving Design Process

Location:

Tillamook, Oregon

Response:

After a period of study with Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake, I was influenced to include advanced materiality and BIM and other parametric design tools in my architectural thesis. The study explored ways that we may shorten the temporal and systemic distance between the conception and the realization of Architecture. In short, I focused on preserving the intuition inherent in an early sketch and founding this act through iterative analysis and design phases.

Though the thesis was research based, these excerpted graphics bear out how the proposed argument would inform the design of Lighter-Than-Air Hangar in Tillamook, Oregon.
