Live/Work Space 3 Weeks - Fall 2021 Group Project - IDEC Competition Enscape, Photoshop, Revit An IDEC competition, this group project with fellow classmates Natalie Fleshman, Clare Herrera, and Casey Pavlick required creating a live/work space for a self-supporting Navajo textile artist living with a partner who engages in photojournalism. Colorado was chosen as the state for the location as a representation of the four corners of the Navajo Nation, and the neighborhood in Denver the site is located in was chosen based off the LEED Neighborhood Development standards, as well as being in the River North Arts District that houses many Navajo galleries and artists alike.
Design Concept The intersection of residential and workplace design relates to the junction of Navajo culture and their connection to the arts, weaving in specific, as well as the crossroads of the four corners of Navajo Nation; Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. Inspired by the Navajo legend of Spider Woman as the one who introduced the people to weaving and her symbol of a cross with an opening in the center, the space is organized based on crossing axes and conceptual holes where these axes intersect.

The space is divided by the prompts need for the commercial and work-oriented spaces to be 45% of the space (blue) and separate from the 45% residential section (red), with the remaining 10% being the flex space (purple). The arrows in the diagram represent the crossing axes of the shipping containers themselves, of the site, and the conceptual openings at their intersections.

Cash/Wrap Perspective The circulation path around the exhibition allows for proper physical distancing within COVID-19 regulations. The weaving display examples are from ‘The Indian Craft Shop’. The skylight over the desk lies at the intersection of the site’s axes and is a visual representation of the void commonly left in weaving’s of Spider Woman’s symbol.
Desk Process Diagram The diagram shows an early sketch of the idea behind the cash/wrap desk. The cutout works to facilitate the two levels of a reception while the overall structure works to reiterate the symbol of the cross in a geometric and abstract form.

Southeast Storage Elevation
The elevation of the far storage wall is complete with yarn, a completed textile rack, and separate hanging display areas for showroom textiles.
Southwest Residential Elevation
The section shows the interaction between the residential side and the containers perpendicular to it, with a pathway spanning the opening between them.
Dining Room Perspective
Sliding doors open to the backyard patio, allowing the dining table to be inside or out. The photography on the wall highlights the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.
Axonometric Dining Options
The inside dining option serves as the main seating area for up to twelve people with a bench along the far war to allow for consistent egress from the pathway to the second bedroom.
The outside seating option allows for a secondary configuration that utilizes a larger square footage with additional room surrounding the dining area.
Flex Space Perspective The movable curtain allows the space to be either open to the public or enclosed for privacy. Depending on the use, the space can be a photography studio or seating area.
Axonometric Flex Space Options
When enclosed by the curtain, the flex space can serve as a private living room adjoined to the residential section of the interior.
When the curtain is open, the flex space becomes a part of the commercial area, serving as a photography studio for the artist’s textiles in context.

Social Media Satellite Company 5 Weeks - Fall 2021 Enscape, Photoshop, Revit Twitter’s satellite office located in Washington, DC aims to hold up to the brand’s purpose: To be authentically itself while embracing its imperfections. Drawing from the company’s branding and goals, the space is centered around being intentional, stripped, and graphic, found through the materiality and furniture choices, as well as featuring a local DC artist on the walls to bring the community of the historic area of Navy Yard into the interior.
Featured Design Imagery
Local DC artist Maggie O’Neill’s artwork inspired both the space and color palette as well as being included along the walls. The local pieces bring the community into the interior space.

Co-Working Space
5 Weeks - Fall 2021 Enscape, Photoshop, Revit Inspired by the mosaics done in the Roanoke market place by artist Cheryl Foster, the co-working space is a collection of smaller areas that make up a whole. The process of breaking apart and coming together as a collective is seen throughout furniture choices, ceiling fixtures, and lighting as well as featuring triangular shapes commonly seen in tessellations on walls.

Soup Kitchen 5 Weeks - Spring 2021 SketchUp, Photoshop Eclectically draws from the history of art in Baltimore, Maryland, particularly the Baltimore Mural Project created in 1975. Located in the subsection of East Case and Douglass Homes and has a predominantly black population, Eclectically is close to amenities such as the East Baltimore Youth & Family, East Pratt Library, and other educational resources. The soup kitchen seeks to explore the eccentric nature of the city of Baltimore and take inspiration from the vibrancy and striking features of the city. Art from artist group Jessie and Katey is incorporated throughout.
