NCSU PLANT SCIENCES BUILDING RALEIGH, NC

The building (190,000 GSF) is organized across four levels with a rooftop greenhouse. From the Oval Drive entrance, users will enter at the 2nd Level and will have immediate access to a Flexible Conferencing area as well as Corporate and Research Laboratories. The lower level daylights to the south of the site and will contain Labs, Growth Chambers, Loading, and Mechanical Spaces. Levels 3 & 4 are occupied with Labs, both Corporate and Research. The Roof houses the Greenhouses, as well as Process Labs, Head Houses, and Mechanical areas. The planning diagram is comprised of two L-Shaped Laboratory & Office wings, wrapped around a central atrium space. the Atrium will serve as both a circulation and collaboration zone. Labs and Offices are arranged to maximize interaction both between the wing and between levels and allowing for maximum day lighting opportunities. Pedestrian movement through the building is encouraged at the 2nd Level, in keeping with the Master Plan Concepts. I participated in the design and production, including schematic layout, renderings, and assembly of the materials needed to begin fundraising efforts.

I also produced parts of the construction documents for the parking deck and facade studies for the new building. (under construction)

SHIP CREEK WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENT ANCHORAGE, AK

Anchorage, despite being a waterfront city, lacks a true waterfront due to the railroad owning most of the frontage properties and the mudflats that separate Anchorage from the surrounding areas. The new master plan development creates a vibrant and active environment in which the designed spaces are functional in extreme weather conditions. The amphitheater, parking garage and bridges in winter become host to diverse recreational environments such as snowboarding courses and ice climbing walls. I participated in the design and research of this new urban proposal. Selected portions of the final report are featured below.

Shift house RALEIGH, NC

As part of a housing studio, this project presented the opportunity to collaborate with engineers to enhance the depth of our sustainable concepts and to test them for validity. We decided upon a site in an urban core and chose to provide communal gardens and integrated live/work opportunities adjacent to pedestrian-rich streets.

Rain-water collection from roof & parking is stored in an underground cistern located beneath the driveway for use in irrigation.

WATER

450 sq. ft. of bifacial solar panels. North facing windows, south facing porch.

Bio-swales between the dwelling and street would filter the contaminats from the water. Herb roof garden would decrease solar heat gain in the roof by acting as insulation. Driveway paved with permeable paving. Vegetation in bio-swales, yard and community gardens reduces heat island effect within the development.

The Wedge house is an ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU) located in Raleigh’s 5 points area. The 645 sq. ft. dwelling draws from the site and through these constraints acquires it’s triangular plan. Despite its small area, it provides a dynamic and comfortable living area with views to its own backyard and to the yard it shares with the existing dwelling.

THE AUDUBON SOCIETY RESEARCH FACILITY

CURRITUCK, NC

The Audubon society research facility is located in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Due to global warming, sea level rise threatens to flood nearly the entire site in the next 50 years. Knowing this and due to the historic nature of the current complex, I decided to place the building in the highest point of the site, which is also a clearing surrounded by native vegetation. The form is derived from the scientific process used to study and store water and living samples.

WASTE CONVENIENCE CENTER RALEIGH, NC

The Wake County Recycling and Solid Waste Convenience Centers are trash and recycling drop off stations scattered throughout Wake County and are used every day by thousands of county residents. Typically, 1 to 3 county workers operate each station at a given time and their responsibilities include directing people to the proper waste bins and watching over the grounds so that no one is hurt or removes any of the recycling from the collection area. The Convenience Center Huts (CCHs) are shelters that provide the workers with protection from the elements, a small workspace and an area to prepare and store food. Most of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11 current CCHs are dilapidated and use large amounts of energy for heating and cooling despite their small size. The goal of the Summer 2010 design-build studio at North Carolina State University was to replace the buildings in 3 of the sites.
