Architectural Intent “A scattered approach for a natural park.� The intent Is to preserve the sense of the dense vegetative surroundings. Small activity nodes are interspersed throughout the park. By placing small-scale nodes across the site and dissecting the program, the natural beauty of the site becomes the central attraction, a large contrast from the surrounding city, adjacent highway, and developed area across the bayou.

Virginia Educational Planners | 6 week competition 2011
A school itself should be an overpowering, monumental image. It should be an environment that encourages imagination and inspires minds before any entrance is made. Cantilevers give a sense of monolithic scale, contrasting our own small scale. Two arms of the school embrace arrival, directing movement underneath the cantilevered masses and around the central outdoor plaza.

Gallery + Livespace
An Intervention for Pulaski, VA 2012
The renewal of an abandoned lot in a struggling Southwestern Virginia City. The injection of art into deteriorating cities has proven to be successful in revitalization efforts. The Gallery + Livespace attempts to connect the built environment to the surrounding area, its citizens, and the community at large.

Intergenerational Facility Blacksburg, VA 2013
An Intergenerational facility is an intersection and interaction of many distinct ideas and form givers. It is an intersection of site, age, form and function brought together to form a cohesive whole. An investigation into singular vs. multiple relationships resulted in a pulling apart of the building. The facility remains a cohesive whole, held in tension by a central pathway.

The proposed mixed-use facility serves as an intersection of program and performance. The lower level of the fire station becomes the anchor of the building, connecting the contrasting elements of the program.

Architecture as Connection
A Community Center for Shillington, PA 2013 - 2014 Through the reuse + renewal of an often glanced over lot, the thesis attempts to begin a revitalization of Shillington, Pennsylvania. The program of the thesis is a combined community center and fitness facility; a synthesis of site, program, and needs of the citizens. By connecting the built environment with the community experiencing it, the thesis intends to strengthen the community, and foster future revitalization of the area. Connection is a fundamental part of Architecture. The built environment directly affects the surrounding world. These spatial connections can improve a community, but more importantly, quality of life for its inhabitants.
