01 | BURNET COUNTY COURTHOUSE With: Stephen McEnery Burnet, TX, USA Spring 2017 Civic architecture is among the most influential typologies with respect to communities, shaping the ways in which individuals view and interact with bureaucracy. With regard to the proposed Burnet County Courthouse, understanding this level of impact was critical in establishing a clear design intent for the city’s most prominent public building. Organized in a rigid grid system with the existing courthouse at the center, Burnet readily lends itself to the notion of revitalizing the community from the middle out. This proposal seeks to bridge the gap between the need for a dynamic civic space and the iconography associated with judicial architecture by establishing a place for the public within an inherently authoritative program; a goal that is achieved through both the building’s overall form and its integration with the surrounding site. The end result is a dynamic mass that emphasizes the outward expression of courtrooms and public space.
p. 9
1st Floor Plan
Massing Strategy The building’s varied massing serves the dual purpose of legibly expressing its interior function and creating a number of interstitial spaces around the site for patrons to interact with one another, seek shade, or engage with the building’s façade.
p. 10
Burnet County Courthouse | p. 11
Axonometric Section The building’s program is organized around the inward and outward expression of its three courtrooms, with a cutout in the massing along Washington Street to suggest a welcoming presence to the public.
p. 12
Southwest Axonometric The stepping back of the building’s overall volume maximizes public space within the square site and provides visual interest to necessary building functions such as the sally port and secure circulation spaces.
Burnet County Courthouse | p. 13
Both of the magistrate courtrooms feature an asymmetrical layout which justifies the judge’s bench to one side, maximizing the judge’s visibility of the jury, defendant, and gallery while allowing for on-axis entry from the lobby space.

02 | ST. SPYRIDON COLLEGE Semester Abroad Sydney, NSW, Australia Fall 2016 In an area of Sydney where the construction of high rise school buildings is becoming increasingly popular, the brief proposed by St. Spyridon College calls for a hybrid of sorts between this new age style of school and a more traditional campus. In phase I of a proposed three phase plan, St. Spyridon will seek to condense its Kingsford and Maroubra campuses onto a site that is currently home to the primary school and centrally located Greek Orthodox Church. This design addresses phase I of the campus plan by accommodating the school’s full enrollment of 1,500 students while providing maximal greenspace and remaining considerate to the church that anchors the site. The design also seeks facilitate the school’s future growth by establishing a clear entrance and open sightlines to a potential athletic complex and additional education buildings in phases II and III.

03 | SENSORY PAVILION Dirt Works Studio, Design + Build Lawrence, KS, USA Spring 2016 The primary objective of the Audio Reader Network is to serve the vision-impaired community, both through their radio network and the creation of the Sensory Garden, which is filled with a variety of plantings intended to delight the senses and provide a tranquil experience for its users. Over time the Sensory Garden has evolved into a popular place within the community, not only for listeners of the Audio Reader Network but for local families as well. Therefore, when the existing gazebo at the rear of the garden fell into disrepair, the Dirt Works Studio was granted the unique opportunity to design an addition to the garden that would both enhance the existing sensory experience and entice new visitors. Our proposal sought to introduce a dynamic yet unimposing structure, with the aim of complementing the garden’s aesthetic while also providing ample shelter. The signature feature of the open air pavilion is a 9 ft. rammed earth column, which acts to facilitate circulation along the existing brick pathway as well as to support the nail-laminated timber roof. Spatially, the pavilion seeks to provide seating via timber benches anchored to three rammed earth walls without acting as a literal enclosure. The pavilion’s feathered roof design symbolizes the idea of “reaching out into the garden,” a gesture of sorts to the existing setting.

04 | DONALD JUDD MUSEUM Urban Design Kansas City, MO, USA Fall 2015 In examining a potential site for a museum dedicated to the works of Donald Judd, it became apparent that the design must be responsive to the surrounding urban context. Situated in the heart of Kansas City’s Crossroads District, the location provides views to the downtown skyline as well as proximity to the Kauffman Center. The building’s exterior form seeks to engage these elements to establish a clear connection between the southern end of the city’s arts district and downtown Kansas City. In addition to the desire to unify the Crossroads District, it was imperative that the design represent Judd’s work in a meaningful way. The design seeks to incorporate Judd’s philosophy by applying his notion of empiricism to architecture. Judd’s works were often placed in settings that were subtle in nature, but had a very direct intent. This idea of quiet spaces with clear purposes represents the overall goal for the building’s interior galleries, and is further reinforced by the angling of the exterior form.

02 Acknowledge Context
Gallery spaces are elevated to maximize views, designating the ground floor for public spaces including a cafe and library.
The building’s upper volume angles to the Northeast as a nod to the Kauffman Center and nearby Power & Light District. The triangular cutout on the lower level allows the building to align itself with the historic Sullivan Higdon & Sink building.
p. 34
03 Embed Within Site
04 Create a Gathering Place
In an effort to fully embrace its immediate context, the museum offers a sculpture garden at the site’s southern end. The landscaping of the garden aligns itself with the bays of the adjacent 310 building to maximize visibility.
The project seeks to establish itself as a focal point within the Crossroads District, capitalizing on its central location to contribute to the district’s ongoing growth.

05 | INNOVATION IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING With: Jeremy Weiland, Culin Thompson Dover, NH, USA Spring 2018 As part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s annual Innovation in Affordable Housing Student Design & Planning Competition, our team was tasked with proposing affordable housing in Dover, New Hampshire with a target demographic of seniors and persons with disabilities. Located on the current site of the outdated Niles Park apartment complex, which sits roughly half a mile from the city’s riverfront district and presently serves an aging demographic, our proposal calls for the construction of 5 standalone buildings containing a total of 182 new residential units and the preservation of three existing buildings at the site’s northern edge containing a total of 12 units. With a strong emphasis on connectivity in the competition brief, our proposal seeks to foster opportunities for social engagement within the housing community as well as connections to the greater surrounding area. Concentrating the buildings along a central axis, the organization of the site allows Union St. to be leveraged as an important connector to downtown Dover as well as a hub for social gathering. Employing elements of ‘complete streets’ throughout the site allows for a more pedestrian-oriented experience that caters specifically to the community’s elderly and disabled residents. The addition of a multi-use trail and a ‘living lab’ with transparency to the ground level furthers the notion of providing ample opportunities for residents to interact, both indoors and outdoors.

06 | ‘THE LIVING CITY’ Gensler Co-Op Research Project Denver, CO, USA Fall 2017 Participating in Gensler’s cooperative studio with the University of Kansas, I had the opportunity to collaborate with fellow interns from Gensler’s Chicago and Los Angeles offices as well as GastingerWalker&’s Kansas City location to develop an exploratory research project throughout the course of the semester. Traditionally designed to encourage urban exploration within each participating city, previous iterations of the studio have addressed topics such as urban design at the human scale and the qualities that make public spaces successful. In response to the continued migration of present generations to cities and the conclusions of previous projects, our studio was asked to consider the problem solving potential of urban interventions and how autonomous technologies might be used to enhance them. Typically of an informal or improvisational nature, urban interventions are occurring at an increasing rate as citizens of urban areas continue to realize their potential to help define the culture of the places they live. Seeking out such interventions in our respective cities, our team looked to analyze their varying scales and levels of impact with a particular focus on those that were closely integrated with technology. Ultimately, we came to the conclusion that urban interventions are highly specific to their context, and therefore the integration of technology as a means of enhancing the adaptability and future success of urban space must adhere to a similar level of consideration for place.

RiNo Art District Through the extensive examination of urban space in our respective locations, we were able to identify opportunities within each city to implement technology as a means of strengthening the community. Working as the only intern in Denver, I chose to investigate the viability of a smart street network in the city’s RiNo Art District.
p. 46
With roots as an industrial district and several historically low income areas, RiNo has flourished into one of the city’s most sought after locations. Now experiencing unprecedented growth, issues of infrastructure, density and gentrification must be addressed to ensure the continued success of the district.
The RiNo Art District boasts a unique “maker culture,” playing home to countless galleries, breweries and a large number of small businesses. However, the area currently lacks the infrastructure to support a growing volume of vehicular and foot traffic.
‘The Living City’ | p. 47
Focusing on the 26th - 28th blocks of Larimer Street, this proposal seeks to capitalize on the flexibility of the district’s existing street network due to its lack of infrastructure, addressing its three street typologies in different ways to create a system capable of supporting a growing population both now and in the future while actively preserving RiNo’s character.

07 | GENSLER Semester Internship Denver, CO, USA Fall 2017 Over the course of a four month internship at Gensler’s Denver office, the vast majority of my time was spent working on the master planning effort for Denver International Airport’s Peña Station NEXT Smart City Development. Working as a member of a small team tasked with a broad scope, I had the opportunity to participate in nearly all facets of the project, ranging from the late stages of the initial site analysis to the production of graphics for the final master plan document submitted to the client. While Denver International Airport (DEN) served as our primary client, their partnership with Panasonic offered a unique opportunity to merge mixed use, transit-oriented development with ambitions of creating a “smart city.” The potential for innovative technologies such as an autonomous shuttle and smart street lights to be integrated throughout the site created a unique set of circumstances regarding the character of the individual streets. As a result, I was tasked with generating various options for the individual character of each of the critical streets within the master plan, something that led to discussions both within the studio and with the client.
