Ladue Horton Watkins High School Programs: SketchUp, Lumion, AutoCAD, Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator The initial task entailed producing floor plans for Ladue Horton Watkins High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly renovated plaza and stadium for Marketing. As my familiarity with the drawings grew, I began assisting the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract administrator with tasks related to Ladue High.

Elevator Canopy at Platform | Ladue Horton Watkins High School

Study of overhead metal cantilevers Elevator Canopy From Parking Lot - Close-up 2 | Ladue Horton Watkins High School

Hastings + Chivetta Architects

Pavilion Dedication Few alumni hoped to commemorate lettering and plaques in honor of their former classmates. For the alumni, the placement, color, and sizes of these pieces were essential details for the recognition.

Elevator Canopies After the Press Box’s occupancy, rain caused issues for the elevator (i.e., access buttons malfunctioning and water slipping the elevator shaft). Overhead metal cantilevers seemed the most feasible option. If the cantilevers spanned 4’ x 8’, the elevator would mainly remain clear of the water. The overhead metal cantilevers best assimilated with the design elements and aesthetics of the press box, as well as fit with the city’s design ordinances.

Fire Exhibit Drawing To complete this version of the Ladue High School campus plan, it was crucial to know what details should catch the eye of the firemen with limited time, in event of an emergency. The drawing needed to be kept simple and, most critically, explain where the Fire Department Connections and Knox Boxes were located on campus.

Centre College Fieldhouse Programs: AutoCAD, Google Earth, Adobe Illustrator, SketchUp The Centre College fieldhouse began as a study for the client. My contributions, amongst my two co-workers in the Graphics Department, encompassed producing and updating nine complete, detailed, 2D drawings, modeling a concept at the beginning of the study, and assisting my team with modifying the leading concept throughout progression.

University of South Florida Student Wellness Center Programs: Autocad, Google Earth, Adobe Photoshop My contributions to the University of South Florida’s Wellness Center RFP were the campus analysis diagrams and clinic layout on level two. I developed a pod-style clinic fulfilling the client’s desired space requirements. Three main factors determined the design: efficient circulation, accessibility to equipment, and natural light. The building’s general shape was determined before I began designing the layout.

University of Saint Thomas Site Context Programs: Revit, Google Earth Creating the surrounding halls was necessary to completely put the main project, an arts & sciences building, into the University of Saint Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campus context. Using my previous experience with Revit, I modeled two buildings adjacent to the project, as well as researched to achieve the proper way to use the interface when needed.

Integrating Health Into Wellness: Hinkson Creek Wellness Center

Spring 2016

Programs: Revit, Google Earth, Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator Located in Columbia, Missouri, this health and wellness project required a freestanding medical center with an efficient emergency department, an outpatient and walk-in clinics. The second priority was healthcareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connection to a community center. The Hinkson Creek Wellness Center prioritizes comfort and accessibility, primarily catering to higher education students and senior citizens. By elevating the standard of care and well-being, HCWC embraces evidence-based design, nature, and building materials. With wholesomer choices offered in the community center (such as a gym, a health-oriented grocery store, and positive daily interactions), HCWC aims to uplift Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and wellness. This project was completed in partnership with Ashlyn Jach.

Natural Lighting According to research, patient rooms with views to nature help visitors heal faster and feel lesser pain compared to those without windows. In the ED, light wells are designed not only for comfort but also to bring sunlight into the core of the department to psychologically benefit the staff attending to the freestanding ED regularly.

Allowing in sunlight where possible, windows reveal views to the outdoors.

Connecting the Dottes: Reviving KCK’s 10TH Street

Fall 2015

Programs: Revit, Google Earth, Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator

MINNESOTA AVENUE

10TH Street in Wyandotte County, Kansas City, Kansas hosts a diverse population of migrants and refugees from Asia, Africa, and South America. Hence, a renaissance is necessary on 10TH Street between Central and Minnesota Avenues to celebrate rich cultures and, importantly, allowing opportunities for this community. 10TH Street will benefit from a multi-purpose mid-rise providing housing, public services, and business opportunities for migrants to establish themselves as they begin anew. In addition to the Healthy Community Corridor’s (HCC) successful initiative for the upcoming bike lane, the mid-rise, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and roads, pocket parks, and community gardens are all proposed to promote healthy interactions. Finally, Lally Park’s renovation will increase 10TH Street’s connection to the business district on Central Avenue, incorporating the park into an inviting spot.
