Physical Model
Rosa Parks Transit Center
My first professional task in architecture was to create a physical model over the summer of 2004. The cheesecloth canopy was delivered by the canopy sub-consultant. I built the rest of the model around this base. The model is now displayed in the front lobby of DDOT’s headquarters.

Site Design / Master Planning Chicago South Station Concept A proposed extension of Chicago’s commuter rail system. These two proposals demonstrate bus and rail facilities integrated into two different sites along I-94. My role was to convert a prototype layout to fit both sites and to show via massing studies of how the stations would appear from a nearby overpass.
Schematic Design Painesville Transit Hub The City of Painesville desired a traditional transit building which would blend into the surrounding downtown area. We proposed a transit center which concealed a modern interior under a more traditional roof line.
Construction Documentation Retail Buildout As a part of a retail buildout in Citi Field, home of the NY Mets, I assisted in the creation of a full CD set. This included specialty retail millwork, CNC files, and finishes. I travelled to NY to field measure the site and helped coordinate the drawing set.
