POD LIVING Affordable Housing for the Working Class
INDIVIDUAL UNITS AROUND A SHARED LIVING SPACE
San Francisco is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. The steady influx of upper, and upper-middle class individuals into the city has caused the housing market to skyrocket, leaving little to no option for the working class individual/ family to live.
The Pod Living Project, located in the SOMA –a neighborhood heavily rooted in the working class, strives to provide housing that is truly affordable by organizing a number of individually leased bedrooms around a centralized shared living space. Thoughtful design provides residents with many of the desirable qualities of a traditional apartment, while increased efficiencies, along with innovative thinking, provide an affordable option for those looking to live in the city.

University of Oregon Softball Complex Patrick Dougherty l Alex Clohesey l Will Zenk
The Willamette Valley Field project nestles a series of University of Oregon softball facilities into a vacant riverfront site. The site boarders the south side of the Willamette River and serves as a key link between the U of O campus, and the athletic complex across the river. The collaborators viewed the project as an opportunity to create an open-space framework in addition to the softball complex with the goal of protecting the environmentally sensitive site from far more harmful development. Given the large scope of the project, two sets of principles were generated. One to inform the softball complex, and the other to guide the master plan. 1 1

ATHLETIC ECOLOGY The ecological performance of the facility should reflect the peak physiological performance of collegiate athletics. The goal of the project is not only to offset ecological and environment impacts on the site from the facility itself, but to improve upon existing ecological and environmental conditions.
ECOLOGICAL DEMONSTRATION The site is located within a riparian zone. This necessitates careful development of the river edge. It also presents an opportunity to explore optimal ecological sensitivity in the development of a riparian zone. The design intends to replace or improve what already exists on the site in terms of native plant species, natural water filtration, erosion control, etc. The design encourages university responsibility and athletic excellence.

NODES OF PUBLIC ACTIVITY The complex is intended to hold public value. On top of meeting the needs of the softball program, the design incorporates elements that make this site a year-round destination. There are nodes of public activity located throughout the site.

FROM HILL TO PRAIRIE The design needs to have a solar orientation with the stadium to the north and the playing field to the south. However, this makes the ecological impact more significant. This necessary impact is countered by rolling the stadium into a berm, integrated with other ecological design strategies.

ENHANCED PROCESSION Given the significance of the site as a through-way, the design must take into account both sequences as arrival and procession. This is done by strengthening and rethinking some of the existing connections to the site; imagining gateways to the site not only as arrival to the site but a procession to the athletic complex across the river, and as public through-ways.

7KH (DVW *DWH LV DQ H[SORUDWLRQ into the specific need for housing University of Oregon faculty members who have finished raising their families, and are looking to downsize both the physical size of their homes, as well the many responsibilities that accompany owning a home. The site is located right outside the outer edge of the current U of O campus and not only provides faculty with an ideal location to live, but presents a great opportunity to create am eastern passageway into the University of Oregon. To maximize the experience and smooth the transition from full time staff, into retirement, a series of design principles were generated addressing both the LQWHUQDO UHTXLUHPHQWV RI WKH (DVW Gate, as well as commitments to the greater community.
POCKET COMMUNITIES 7KH (DVW *DWH PXVW FRQVLGHU WKDW IDFXOW\ members have a well-established way of life, which includes long time friends/ university faculty. Rather than develop large, project wide communal spaces, smaller nodes and grouped circulation paths work to subdivide to whole into manageable parts.
LINK CONTEXTUAL ZONES The two distinct scales adjacent to site require a unique and thoughtful design to properly transition the two pieces, into one cohesive unit. Through massing, activities, and circulation WKH (DVW *DWH PXVW effectively bridge the gap, and mend the two competing zones.

EMBRACE UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP The majority of residents have dedicated a significant portion of their lives to the university and its students. The design should embrace this dedication through layers of continued connections to both campus and its students through visual, spatial, and perceptual means.

LAYERED HOUSING TYPES The goal of this project is not only to transition residents into this specific stage of their lives and careers, but also to provide a desirable and livable place to call home. While the complex is intended to provide residents a smaller, less demanding home, it is crucial that unit types and sizes vary to meet the various needs and desires of the faculty.

The entire staff prides themselves on having a constant dialogue with their clients, which provided me with a unique, educational, and memorable experience. While in the office I worked on a handful of project on my own. These projects either started with direction from the principle, or from conversations I had with the clients themselves. I felt privileged to have such a wide variety of responsibilities and took great pride in both my design work as well as my overall contribution to the firm.

Ply + Design Plywood Coffee Table
Purpose The concept behind Ply + Design is to create elegant and timeless furniture built primarily from construction grade plywood. The Table The tabletop is constructed out of plywood scraps gathered from construction sites. Pieces were cut into 1.5 inch strips, glued together, trimmed, and finished. The design emphasizes the uniqueness of the plywood edge, creating a stimulating yet elegant finish. The black steel pipes and fittings that make up the base contribute to the tables overall durability and versatility; pieces can be removed, added, or rearranged to meet to individual needs of a specific user or environment.
