Designing a new multi-use development in London UK with architecture firm KPF
Peak Frean Urban Infill is an interdiscplinary design project on a London site with the international design office, KPF. The project, located in central London, is a mixture of renovating existing facilities and proposing new construction. As a group of three, we were tasked with creating a wide ranging and general design proposal for the site. We then zoomed into a portion of the site to develop a fragment in detail.
Our project took place during a study abroad trip, stationed in London UK. The project challenged our group to understand and adapt to a new context. This new context has reshaped our perspective and understanding of design. It has made me more passionate on an individual level and showcased the potential a career in can provide me.

Designing a new multi-use development in Lincoln NE
GrowHome Urban is a vibrant micro community located in downtown Lincoln Nebraska. GrowHome addresses issues related to food insercurity and agricultural education, while creating living spaces catered to post graduate young adults. As a group of three we were tasks with identifying appropriate program for our site, implementation of program on site, and design development.
Our project utilizes simple building form in order to promote materiality, pattern, color and detail within our project. Our project utilized and experimented with Midjounrey as a design tool to help create facade concepts and designs

Designing a duplex for a family of Hot Rodders
Duplex for Hot Rodders is a space designed to bring together a family through their shared love of making and hot rodding cars. The central garage space acts as the front door and living room, bringing together this family of Hot Rodders. A hot rodder can be defined as a person who drives a motor vehicle that has been specially modified to give it extra power or speed. A person who salvages and pieces together old car parts, turning them into something new. A hot rodder’s work is never done as they build for the love of the process, not the final product. They are independent, resourceful, and life long learners.

corner 3rd place hangout with residential units above
My Home in the Sky is a multi-use and multi-generational housing development that provides opportunities for spatial ownership and privacy. The ground floor plan consists of a commericial store front and a commercial 3rd place hang-out on the corner. In the center of the ground floor plan is an entrance from the “city side” to the “garden side”, in which a play area and a community garden exist. Opportunities for a community garden address issues of sustainability as well as food scarcity. My Home in the Sky utilizes a modfiied “skip-stop” that allows for dual entrance units to create enhanced privacy scenarios.
My Home in the Sky is part of a redevelopment plan for the city of Lincoln NE that responds to sociatel contexts, such as issues surrounding food scarcity, privacy concerns in multi-generational housing, affordability, and ownership. Throughout the design process sketching, model making, and watercolor was used to both represent and ideate.

FACT is a design/build based studio at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. The purpose of project 16 was to design and build a concert venue into the basement of the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha Nebraska. The concert venue, located solely within the interior of the facility, aims to give experimental musicians a platform to share their music. FACT.16 worked in collaboration with Actual Architecture, as well as with independent contractor Sean Ward.
Students split up individually or into groups to work on specific areas of the project. The areas in which I focused on were the designing and building of furniture on a large scale and a build drawing of FLOCK installation.

Designing shelving for the International Quilt Museum located in Lincoln NE
As a group of two my partner and I were tasked with the objective of designing a new shelving system for the interional quilt museum located in Lincoln. We relied heavily on minimalist clothing rack precedents such as Madison Ave by Acne Studios and Descente Blance Marunouchi by Schemata Architects. The end result was as series of shelving units made primarily out of brass and glass that showcase the existing beauty that the quilts within the museum have.

How can the discipline of interior design improve the practice of urban beekeeping?
The Honey Home is a multi-faceted concept home centered around the art and practice of urban beekeeping. The Honey Home, located in downtown Lincoln Nebraska, houses two resident beekeepers. Their jobs include, maintaining 110 beehives located on the rooftop above, as well as extracting and packaging honey. The Honey Home is an innovative approach to beekeeping, not only because its location within the city, but also because it brings forward the technique of indoor wintering. The Honey Home aims to create a more efficient beekeeping process, while also accommodating the personal lives of the two resident beekeepers through the design of a live/work space.
The Capstone allowed students complete freedom to choose a concept, as well as the building to execute that concept.

what is indoor wintering
Through research I came across the relatively new technique of Indoor wintering. Indoor wintering is the process of placing bees and their hives in a controlled interior environment during the winter months, allowing them to hibernate undisturbed. The Honey Home sets the standard of how the uncommon practice of indoor wintering should be correctly done.
essential elements of indoor wintering
shelves to store beehives
vents to maintain C02 levels between 1000 and 2000 ppm
vents to regulate temperature between 45 and 55 degrees fahrenheit
fans to mix air

problem indoor wintering addresses
The problem: 31 percent of bees are dying throughout the winter months nationwide. From the 2017-2018 winter
For bees to be able to fully replenish their colonies in the spring less than 21% can die.
The solution: Interior design can help save this 10% through the technique of indoor wintering.
