TriHealth Cancer Center Cincinnati, Ohio - 2014
The Cancer Center at TriHealth Hospital was designed as the prototype for future cancer center facility renovations within TriHealth. Challenged with designing a unique, flexible, and inviting space for patients, family, and staff, PFB Architects created a customized infusion center nicknamed the ‘carousel’ that could accommodate four patients while simultaneously providing each with a space dedicated solely to their needs. With a unique floor plan to work with, the carousel design allowed for maximum patient capacity while maintaining an accessible and easy flow for staff throughout the space. Each unit has a central core that provides med gas, electric, and HVAC capabilities to each quadrant. My responsibilities outside of helping with the revit modeling and assembling of the construction documents included detailing and coordinating the drawings for the carousels. From mechanical and lighting coordination to framing plans and elevations, these drawings provided each discipline on the project with a step by step instruction manual for the carousel construction.

I was tasked with building the exterior model of this project and updating the model following the coordination meetings with the precast and MEP engineers. The exterior model was then linked to our interior model to create a cohesive set of drawings and eventually our construction documents. Equipment D2322

Winton Hills Medical Center
Cincinnati, Ohio - 2014
Winton Hills Medical Center is a design for a medical office building which includes adult and pediatric exam rooms, dental suites, and a series of offices and shared conference spaces for the Winton Hills Medical facilities throughout Cincinnati. This particular project was designed as a center to help provide medical services to the under- privileged and to begin accommodating the incoming Affordable Care Act patients.

Above is a project in Georgetown Park (Washington D.C.) for the redesign of both the exterior facade and interior of a retail center. Our proposal was comprised of four different elevation renderings, a section perspective, plan detailing, and two perspective views (one The Shops at Punta Cana exterior and one interior).

I also helped to prepare a 100% Design Drawing set for a shopping development in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic). I was responsible for Client: editing, tagging, and assembling plans and elevations; also created BLUE MALL,the LTD. Av. Venezuela, Edif. El Saman door and window schedule for the ‘village style’ shopping development. Piso 7 El Rosal, Caracas 1060 Venezuela Telf: (58212) 905.09.11
Lastly, I was responsible for creating the presentation graphics on a renovation project for a church in downtown Boston. The client asked for a children’s learning center to be incorporated into the older section of the church. I was placed in charge of editing plans, color coordinating the updated renovations and preparing the presentation materials to display my work and the work of fellow coworkers.
academic project : cranbrook wellness center
Wellness Center Final Design University of Cincinnati - 2010
My final design for the Cranbrook Wellness Center took a more simplistic, formal approach. As shown by the plan and the section perspective, two bars of program, organized by usage, extend from a grand central stairwell on the east end. The southern bar houses the ‘dry’ aspects of the program - massage therapy rooms, meditation alcoves, library center, and administration. These are also the spaces that would benefit from a more diffused, northern light. The northern bar houses the ‘wet’ spaces - thermal baths, saunas, locker rooms.

A large central courtyard allows for constant exposure to the outdoors and also for a series of operable windows along each courtyard-facing facade for ventilation purposes. A simple concrete construction type was utilized with a series of courtyard windows extending the complete length of each bar. A central water feature extends from the top of the grand stairwell and through to the end of the project. The only instance of asymmetry that exists in the project is on the western end with single-story guest suite. The southern bar begins with a reflecting pool.

My final design for the fitness center became an expression of the existing site through form. This created an extension of the park to the southwest into the common space between the series of buildings on either side. With a series of structural elements running longitudinally and continuing out to the park and plaza levels beyond, my design serves to connect the juxtaposing boundaries and create a dynamic and visually intriguing space for the community center and sports complex.

Heal
Diagnosis Patients are informed of the procedures / treatments that will hopefully cure them of cancer. This process is completed through a series of consultations, recommendations, and sellf-education techniques.
Armed with the knowledge of the time period in which the treatments will take place, the severity / number of the treatments necessary and the intended outcome at various intervals, the patient enters into a physical and mental battle to survive.
Live This aspect of the process constitutes both the beginning and end of a grueling process that can take anywhere from a few months to several years. Patients’ lives are changed on both an emotional and physical level. Lifestyle adjustments are made and treating the disease in the most efficient manner becomes top priority. Maintaining a sense of normalcy becomes a goal.
The Urban Therapeutic Environment
University of Cincinnati - 2012
The CyclicalM odel The proposed model is a more cyclical process in which the patient receives a diagnosis, is presented with the facilities to cope with and deal with the effects of the disease through a more socially focused arrangement and is informed of and encouraged to participate in complementary treatment methods along with their medical treatment.
ConsiderThis...
The design of today’s current health care environments is primarily focused on the advancement of medical technology and the facilitation of staff efficiency and patient quantity rather than quality. For these reasons, the environments in which we treat those suffering from both acute and chronic illnesses become less focused on the positive experience of the patient, and more intimidating to the surrounding community in overall physical scale and character. A cancer center is proposed as a vehicle for reconsidering the scale, design, program and outreach of medical facilities. Cancer generally requires several consecutive visits to health care facilities and extended periods of treatment per patient, and such facilities can be separated from major hospitals. This presents unique design opportunities to improve the quality of patient experience; maintain the focus on staff efficiency; facilitate community outreach; and promote interaction amongst patients, staff, the surrounding medical community, and the general public.

The Learn- Heal - Live Center University of Cincinnati - 2012
This project is located in Corryville (Cincinnati), Ohio in order to foster an innovative ‘urban therapeutic environment’ while also preserving the proximity to surrounding medical services. The design creates a ‘campus’ that encourages community involvement as well as internal interaction. Easy transitions among the various facility programs and the use of large public spaces in conjunction with private courtyards and gathering spaces at various scales will create less intimidating medical environment and a more comforting facility focused on promoting both physical and emotional health.
art installation : tune-in-park
Tune-in-Park Installation
Burnet Woods, Cincinnati, Ohio - 2010 The Tune-in-Park installation was a project completed for a concert series held in Cincinnati. As a group of three, we decided on a ‘recycled structures’ theme that would not only shed new light on everyday objects often considered trash, but would also display the various uses for these objects. In this case, we decided to use boxes collected from local companies and recycled soda bottles retrieved from various recycle bins around the University of Cincinnati’s campus. Over a two month period over 500 boxes were gathered along with over 100 soda bottles and collected in a warehouse. After several iterations, the boxes were used to create an interactive wall that would be placed at the entrance to the event itself, guiding people towards the stage. The bottles collected were used in a series of lighting structures that were placed near the ticket collection and acted as a ‘gate’ to the concert.
