DES MOINES SOCIAL CLUB
900 Mulberry Street Des Moines, IA 50309 Slingshot Architecture Completed: 2014 Awards 2014 Preservation At It’s Best Award for Adaptive Re-use
The original downtown Des Moines Fire Station No.1, built in 1937 and designed by Proudfoot & Bird, was renovated to become the Des Moines Social Club’s new home. Their mission, as a nonprofit organization, is to “use the arts as a catalyst to create unprecedented community engagement.” The process of converting the firehouse to meet the needs of the mixed-use program was anything but an easy task. The program and design was constantly changing throughout all phases of the project, making coordination very integral to the development. In the Headquarters Building, the program consists of a restaurant tenant space, a coffee shop, an art gallery, a culinary program, offices, and classrooms. In the Maintenance Shop Building, the program consists of a theater, a bar, dressing rooms, lobby, and a rooftop patio. Activating the urban public spaces is part of what makes the project unique. Along with the courtyard located between the Headquarters Building and the Maintenance Shop Building, the construction of the 9th Street viaduct in 1967 created the unique spaces shown on the next page. The space underneath of the viaduct will be used as theater
overflow and outdoor events. The sidewalk in-between the fire station and the viaduct will develop into an urban art corridor with sculptures and a mural on the viaduct. The design process of the project was a constant dialogue between Greg Wattier (Senior Principal), John Bloom (project manager), the construction team, consultants, and myself - and the committee of the Des Moines Social Club (plus a few artists). Listening to this collaborative dialogue became very important and allowed us to develop the always changing needs of the Des Moines Social Club into a very unique part of Downtown Des Moines. ROLE:

EXILE BREWING COMPANY
1514 Walnut Street Des Moines, IA 50309 Slingshot Architecture Completed: 2012
Awards 2013 AIA Iowa Craft Award
Exile Brewing Company is an AIA Award winning project in Downtown Des Moines. The brewery and restaurant are divided between the historic F. W. Fitch Soap Company main building and adjoining annex building. The project was subject to multiple State Historic Society reviews and design adjustments due to how the program and equipment integrated into the existing building. The second floor at one point required a live load test, that pumped thousands of gallons of water into olive oil transportation flexi-tanks to prove the structural engineers math wrong. The test proved successful, and the project developed into a very unique, raw industrial brewery. ROLE:

LEARNSCAPE 2014
Blue Springs, MO School District Hollis+Miller Architects Completed: 2014
Learnscape is an annual all-office Hollis+Miller Architects non-profit design/build project for a local Kansas City School District. The actual design team quickly went from the whole office down to just 3 members: Nicole Young (Associate), Matthew Ayers (Intern Architect), and myself (Intern Architect). Our job was to develop the information compiled during the all office design charettes and discussions into a set of construction drawings for the all-office build day in late Spring. The construction team consisted of all members of Hollis+Miller Architects, and the project was completed by early Fall. ROLE:

KENNEDY ELEM. SCHOOL
Lawrence, KS School District Hollis+Miller Architects Completion: 2015-16
Kennedy Elementary was my first endeavor into educational architecture, and the beginnings of understanding a new design process. This process revolved around lots of information that factored into design such as: learning concepts, group sizes, flexibility, security, visibility - to name a few. The school was being renovated on the interior to develop the existing unused courtyard spaces into new flexible learning spaces. Circulation began to develop the space in the large flexible areas and denote what activities could happen. At the center of one of the large flex spaces is the clubhouse, a reward learning zone for the elementary students. This is one of the large group spaces in the design, with many smaller group spaces spread throughout the school. ROLE: 3D Revit Model, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation
KUNSTHALLE CHICAGO
1482 N. Milwaukee Avenue Chicago, IL Student Work Completed: 4th Year
The Kunsthalle is located in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. During the 1980’s an influx of artists amassed in the neighborhood due to abandoned factories being converted into low cost lofts. Gentrification has made the neighborhood into what it is today - a neighborhood immersed in art, culture, and entertainment. The notion of gentrification as well as the history of the neighborhood became integral to the project. I became intrigued in how the project could be modern, but also relate to the surrounding context of the neighborhood and the history of Chicago. Materiality was the avenue that came to mind, the mixture of brick and steel became the way to express that thought.
Programmatically, the brick volumes are the gallery spaces with other secondary and administrative spaces in-between. On the entry level, the lobby, cafe, bookstore, and exhibition spaces are all freely placed and easily moveable. The open floor plan allows differing exhibitions to be displayed anywhere on the entry level. On the second level, there are three brick volumes: the two smaller ones are secondary galleries and the larger volume is a multipurpose space. The space in-between each volume allows a visual connection down to the lobby space. The third level consists primarily of administrative space and a library/archive. The top level holds the main gallery, placed there to access day lighting from the north as well as views of the city. The overall space was designed to be intentionally open to allow for a very diverse selection of art to be displayed from up and coming international artists. The organization of the semester was divided into three parts: schematic design, design development, and construction documentation. The studio concluded with a set of construction documents and a physical detailed construction model.
View of the structural elements of the detailed construction model.

COFFEE TABLE Manhattan, KS Graduate Student Work Completed: 5th Year
This table was designed and fabricated as part of a history of furniture design seminar course during my final semester of architecture school. For this portion of the course, students were given a 5’ x 5’ birch plywood sheet and the task of designing a piece of furniture that could be altered and adjusted. The idea of the coffee table was that the top three layers of plywood could be interchangeable and customized to fit various items between the layers of plywood. The plywood is connected to the steel angles in-between the bottom two layers of plywood with concealed connectors. Thus allowing the connection to be hidden from the naked eye from all angles. The steel angles connect all five layers of plywood and give rigidity to the overall table.
SANDNES, NORWAY
Graduate Student Work Completed: 5th Year
The development of the master plan of Sandnes, Norway was a collaborative effort of my 12 member graduate studio. Visiting Regnier Chair faculty members, Reinhard Kropf and Siv Helene Stangeland, of Helen & Hard Architects of Stavangar, Norway were very beneficial in the two semester long process of developing the master plan, as well. Over the course of the Fall semester of 2010, we researched and visited the city of Sandnes and developed the core of our theory and strategies. We used these ideas to reactivate the coastline and examine the interactions between people, systems, and urban space. Also, we became quite intrigued with how the city could develop into a self-sustaining environment and develop into the future. We developed many questions and found few answers, but to us the questions were more important - they gave us the direction that we needed in order to move forward.
During the Spring semester the overall master plan was divided up into districts, allowing each member of the studio a chance to develop a scheme at the urban scale. Population numbers were calculated for 150 years into the future and utilized for the development of each district. With a certain density in mind, each district began to develop at the urban scale. Utilizing the ideas and theories generated during the Fall semester. Such as the urban floor, the stitch, and the urban fabric. Throughout the semester we kept in mind five terms when working at the urban scale as well as the architectural scale: Permeability, Harmony, Imagination, Diversity, and Adaptability. We believe that if the environment contains these elements, it will allow the opportunity for human interaction and the exchange of knowledge. The exchange of human knowledge is what we came to understand as the only renewable resource, and it should be fostered by the design of space, at all scales. As a studio, we discovered that the end product was important, but we felt what was most important part was the process - the journey. The process was how we learned; it is how we came to the realization that we became the in-between factor of our process, our theories, our thoughts, our conversations, and our questions. All in all, we found that we always reverted back to three questions that gave us direction: - What is it? - Why is it important? - How does it move us forward?
A CERAMICIST’S STUDY
Manhattan, KS Student Work Completed: 2nd Year
The ceramicist’s study project was developed by means of a subtractive process, through a series of charcoal drawings and a foam model. The rather small interior space, designed to be a secluded retreat for a ceramic artist to contemplate their work and process. The space opens up directly to the surrounding landscape to the north, and south to the stream. The subtraction of the mass allows for a unique connection to nature and natural light.
HOUSE FOR A MUSICIAN Poyntz Avenue Manhattan, KS Student Work Completed: 2nd Year
Every few years a visiting professor is invited to be a part of the department of music at Kansas State University. During their tenure, this house is meant to be their place of residence as well as a place for entertaining their guests. With this in mind, the dialogue between public and private space became very important to the house. The placement of the private living quarters on the second level separates the public space from the private space, yet all spaces are connected by views. The house itself is placed around a central courtyard intended for garden parties and the entertainment of guests.

Upon moving to Des Moines, after a summer spent in New York City, I found myself living in the kitchen of an apartment. So over the course of a few weekends my roommate and I built a lofted bed space, which I called home for a little over nine months. The recessed drop down ladder (visible on the next sheet) provided access to the bed.
