During my time at Stoss I was responsible for completing much of the schematic design, drawings, and presentation for several proposals and competitions. Sugar Hill was a planning and phasing proposal for an art community in downtown Detroit.

The overall scheme was to denote pathways, define edges, and create spatial distinctions through a series of vegetative, installation, and reclamation strategies. We also were proposing light projection and art installations to produce interest in the developing site.

This charette focused on the integration of building and site, and how landscape influences form. The house is designed for Kohyama Yasuhisa, a ceramic artist, and was particularly influenced by contemporary Japanese ceramics and its interest in the raw characteristics of natural materials and asymmetrical composition. The living and studio spaces are separated and rotated off axis, providing varying views of the surrounding landscape.

The plan of the College for Fashion and the Culinary Arts is created from 3 main planes that programmatically divide and organize the building’s layout. Where they intersect they begin to fragment, and create the major entry lobby for the school. Classrooms are plugged in along the major walls, with public facilities such as a restaurant and auditorium arranged in the tower rising from the crossing.
