To connect residents to each other and the larger community, the housing complex incorporates transportation, social spaces, and nature. This senior housing complex seeks to create a sense of purpose and belonging for residents. Within the facility, there are community spaces, large and small, for social interaction among residents and to add variety and wayﬁnding to their new homes.

CARVING AVENUES MARKET ON THE AVE

LOCATION :FITZGERALD, DETROIT

DURATION : 16 WEEKS

TEAM : JONŽAN McNEIL

The Market on the Ave becomes a mixed-use building, with commercial on the bottom level and housing for single mother students. Situated between the University of Detroit Mercy and the Fitzgerald neighborhood, the Market on the Ave acts as a destination and a connection between the campus and the Fitzgerald Greenway. Through the blending of indoor and outdoor space and the implementation of sustainable strategies, including daylighting, cross ventilation, and rainwater collection, a healthy environment is created for the residents and the visitors. The multiple community spaces allow for interaction and relationships within and around the building as well.

Acting as a sustainability strategy and aestheic, the skin is the most important feature of the building. The vertical louvers along the exterior corridors can be manipulated to block glare and the weather. In the summer, the windows can be opened to provide ventilation and closed in the winter.

In the midst of a rising culinary capital, the historic National Theatre is adapted as a culinary school with a student-run restaurant while maintaining its former prestige. The openness of the space allows for relationships to be created between the different functions and areas. An open kitchen and the multiple balconies create the perfect platforms to see and be seen.

St. Mary of Redford’s Grade School was a Catholic school that thrived during the 1920’s population spike. Throughout the population spike, the school adapted to keep up with the growing demand. It now sits vacant.

The project goals include maintaining the original program as a school. With the old high school adjacent to the grade school now serving as public school for the arts, the opportunity for continued use as a school would allow for intermingling between two structures that were closely connected in the past. The Old St. Mary of Redford’s Grade School is in fairly good condition and the main aspects of importance regarding the character of the building are the detailing of the stage, the facade, and the hallway tiling along the œoor and the wallls.t.

UNIT TEST-FITS

As an adaptive reuse project, I designed unit test°ts while working around an existing structure.

Working in a real estate ‹ rm, I gained insight on all of the data and information needed to make a case for potential projects and for leasing to tenants. Having been my ‹ rst internship, I learned a lot about time management and working with a project team. A majority of my work involved graphic design, preparing diagrams, and some schematic design.

DESIGN 139 EVENT SIGNAGE + PUBLICATION

Detroit Design 139 is an exhibition and competition that was held in September 2017. The exhibition was held again on April 30, 2018 for a week.

In addition to the event, a publication featuring all the projects was designed. My task was to help design project spreads from boards in the exhibition. I also created infographics using data from the original exhibition and a timeline of the events held and articles featuring Detroit Design 139.

None of the pictures, renderings, or words are my own.

With every new generation of architects, planners, and landscape architects, each new construction project provides a unique opportunity to capture the character, technology, and material expression appropriate to the present moment. Similar to the celebratory historic preservation approach showcased in the Adaptive Reuse projects, Detroit’s future design legacy will be established with these New Construction projects displayed within the exhibit. These exciting New Construction projects represent Detroit’s future as a leader in worldclass design excellence – that is already under construction today.

Working in an architecture ﬁrm, I delved heavily into the conceptual and schematic design process and touched on construction documents. The ability to attend client and consultation meetings helped me to understand how to balance the needs of multiple entities. Many of my tasks included preparing diagrams and presentations for clients. The internship also included a separate research project for me and the other intern to work on every Friday.

DETROIT COLLABORATIVE DESIGN CENTER SEPT ŽDEC 2019

Working in a community development ﬁrm I was able to understand the process of working with the neighborhood and the sensitivity needed when addressing particular issues. I worked on multiple tasks that included gathering context, data mapping, and attending and preparing materials for community meetings.

MCDOUGALL-HUNT NEIGHBORHOOD

I assembled collages from photos of the streetscapes within the neighborhood. I also overlayed sketches to suggest what the neighborhood could look like. For community meetings, I prepared boards and took notes.

In collaboration with another designer, I worked on residential renovations and learned to adjust to the needs of clients. Each project pushed me to learn more about the technical and construction aspects of architecture.

Many projects include to site plans, floor plans, sections, elevations and details. I also assisted with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing plans.
