I believe architects should design with a comprehensive and integrated formula that allows true visualization of what clients have in mind. With a passion for usability and sustainability, I am interested in creating the most efficient solutions possible. In my view, Architecture is truly the most powerful tool to inform human interaction through our built environment.

PROJECT
In a career of constant collaboration and coordination, architecture has an immense focus on working with your peers and consultants. In my final studio at Arizona State University, we took on the challenge of a studio wide project following a real RFQ that the City of Phoenix was working on. The project exists on a real downtown site that is looking to be developed and in our case, developed for artist residency and their community. My partner (Jess Calabrese) and I were tasked with designing the site and first level. It needed to integrate into the urban fabric of downtown Phoenix while still giving back to the communities that were going to be using it.
SOLUTION
Jess and I focused on the “One and a Half” Street which is an old alley that we decided to re-purpose as the central point of the first level. This organic structure pulls attention from the street into a space calibrated for artists and community members alike. Juxtaposed by the orthogonal form on the exterior, it brings life to gallery space, retail niches, and opportunities for the resident artists to brand themselves and community members to explore.
modeled after the Expo 2000, this project sought to bring together our studio in the hopes of designing for the artist community

A Life On Mars
ACADEMIC WORK 6 weeks Fall 2022 Design Excellence Recipient
SOFTWARE : Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Adobe XD
PROJECT
Although architecture has been seemingly constrained by the physical realities of Earth, the architecture of outer space has provided meaningful technological advances in the way we think about structure, systems, and habitation. Through research and history, this project was meant to explore the possibilities of architectural influence outside of our current world.
SOLUTION
A Life on Mars is about more than just survival, it is about finding a way to enjoy living in a completely foreign environment. Erich Ansems, Jadyn Anderson, Emily Jones, and myself designed a series of habitats and larger forms in the largest canyon in the solar system. Erich, Jadyn, and I equally collaborated on most work for this project because of the nature of representation used. We provided the context for a larger community to allow for private and public spaces to coexist while in a unique and evocative environment. The idea of living on mars is currently an extreme take, however, this project pushed the correct boundaries and won the design excellence award for that semester.
by designing habitations for Mars, we can not only advance planetary architecture, but influence the production of architecture on Earth.

MICRO-STRUCTURE
To solve problems specific to mars, Biomimicry from earth provided a unique answer. The morpho butterfly has a naturally dust-repellent and colorful micro-structure that can be replicated for use in space suits, paint-like substances, and color choice for certain materials. This allows the space suits and other materials to be dust-repellent and gives the ability to choose emotionally responsive colors that contrast the martian environment.
MENTAL HEALTH
The lighting condition on mars is less drastic than earth because of how the sun’s energy interacts with the planet’s atmosphere. The interior spaces boast circadian rhythm lighting as well as soft colors for enhanced calming and focusing feelings.

The way residents would move around this community was a discussion that persisted the duration of the project. Pictured to the right is the final answer: a series of tunnels that are connected to everything in a horizontal line and pressurized with a breathable environment. Those tunnels are connected by three main elevator cores.
12 NICHOLAS SIEROCKI // A LIFE ON MARS
HABS
The habitations in this purposed martian community were driven by the central project idea of living after surviving. Conditions that provide comfort and life here on earth inspired the space layout while elements such as circadian rhythm lighting applied mars specific constraints to the habs. The end product realized a vision that marries modular and engineered with sympathy and livability.

AQUAPONICS
In space, food has to be produced in combinations with other usable materials or products. Aquaponics provides the opportunity to grow plants and fish in the same system.

Minimizing the weight of food production systems was imperative for a canyon design. Hydroponics utilizes the lightest support system

Incubate
ACADEMIC WORK 7 weeks Spring 2021 Design Excellence Recipient
SOFTWARE : Revit, Rhino, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop
PROJECT
The downtown arts district in Phoenix has some very bustling areas as well as some very underdeveloped areas. The site chosen for this project is the latter. The aim for the project design was to create a multifamily, mixed-use building that connects to the culture around it. Site specific zoning regulations according to the city of Phoenix were to be followed.
SOLUTION
Designed in collaboration with Avery Moric, Incubate is a simple and effective building utilizing the vertical integration of the artistic process. To revitalize the area surrounding it, the design would connect the neighborhood back to the arts scene and inject a sense of creativity into the people living around the area. I enjoyed working with Avery on all phases of the project and we developed strong communication skills throughout.
envision a multi-use, multi-family complex with a well thought program.

Ground Floor
A lobby, market + deli, and gallery share the ground floor. To fully connect with the downtown arts scene and to allow public flow into the site, the spaces on the first floor welcome interaction and use from citizens passing by.
Units Incubator
The second level houses an open incubation space, retrofitted with movable walls, to allow residents and outside affiliates to create and inspire. It is intended to be the second level of the vertical integration process within the design.
Two unit types exist on the third and fourth levels and are easily stackable. Repeatable units creates an easier integration of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing components. On these floors as well are both amenities: a two story open park space and a full gym.

Pierson Place Library
ACADEMIC WORK 8 weeks Spring 2022
SOFTWARE : Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop
PROJECT
The object was to re-imagine what a library means in the 21st century given social, political, and historical contexts. The library has adapted into a melting pot of information sharing and storage but has began to forget about the human connection that happens within.
SOLUTION
Pierson Place Library strives to re-link the interaction between history and storytelling that has been lost in the modern era. The aim of history is to provide insight into the past, inform and connect the present, and inspire the future. The Branch Library utilizes programs that build upon each other and lead to spaces where interaction and connection can happen. Storytelling is an essential activity to connect the younger and the older generations of a society.
develop a critical position about what a contemporary library is, should be, or can be. This position or attitude will help you clarify your own specific design objectives for the project.
05 NICHOLAS SIEROCKI // PIERSON PLACE LIBRARY 23
History can change and adapt throughout time, however, it is best taught when it’s message is consistent each time it is passed down. The site for Pierson Place Library enticed citizens to veer off the sidewalks and walk through it. Recognizing this, the building was oriented to that movement in order to honor the history of the site in a new way by connecting public transit to the library and surrounding community.

The circular motion of the interactive area guides traffic into the programs of the library that build upon each other.

Pergola Walkway Concept
ACADEMIC WORK 3 weeks Spring 2021
SOFTWARE : Rhino, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop
PROJECT
The goal of this project was to create a “human-scale” space from a given column design.
Constraints were the process itself, where students were required to model a real-life column in Rhino 3D software, generate height and width considerations, and create a renewed column design.
SOLUTION
Enric Miralles designed this column as a metal tree like structure in the center of a vast metro area. He had in mind the connection of people to nature. It shows an effort to keep nature at human’s core even within the most dense built environment. This original “treelike” design informed the decisions of this project, ultimately leading to a column with the appreciation for exterior space and natural environments.
develop a project that includes considerations for spatial attributes and experience.
