*Finalist for Manko Competition
The Irwin Union Bank is known for it’s high standards, architects like Eero Saarinen, Dan Kiley, and Kevin Roche all had a hand in designing these banks in Columbus, Indiana. To meet these high standards we were asked to create a bank that announces its presence in the community. Kansas City is sometimes called the ‘city of murals’ due to the high number of murals that show the history of the neighborhoods they are in. The Mural I designed for the bank was inspired by the the Troost Ave. mural adjacent to the site and contributes to the representation of Kansas City’s rich culture.

Beginning Sketches of Design
This project started as an idea of a mural wall and turned into a wall scheme. The big moves of this project is the wall that swallows all of the servant spaces of the building and acts as a spine which the bank, tenant, and meeting space all connect too. The three main elements of the program are organized on the site with the bank towards the north of the site, next to Linwood to hold the corner, and the other spaces along Troost to keep the urban front.

Murals are hidden gems, and the adventure to find them around the city is an experience that makes these landmarks so special. The brick screen was deigned to allow glimpses of the mural to be seen from Troost, and hold the urban front. The design is to pull people in and act as a reveal to the mural and the two main entries of the building and the plazas. Brick Screen Pattern

Santa Monica doesn’t have an iconic building like the Arch in St. Louis and the Needle in Seattle. My main idea is to create an iconic building for Santa Monica by using Gems in the facade as jewelry. The gem idea came from the need for non-perpendicular walls for the acoustic spaces and maintaining the blingy and vibrant energy of the city.

Final Model of NPR Station
The building form came from the surrounding building masses, pulled to become the servant bars to anchor the building. The gems are the fore front of the building and represent the different NPR stations that are played daily.

The idea of meditation struck me as being important for college student. The idea of the Contemplative Center at UMKC acts as a place on campus to escape from the everyday stresses of studying and classes. I have combined two modes of meditation for students. One as you circulate through the space, called Moving Meditation, and the other in the Art Boxes, which is designed for Sitting Meditation. I was asked to choose art work from the Nelson Atkins Museum that would become permanent homes for the art work. The Art work reflects the meditative action that the spaces inspire. Natural lighting was explored to enhance the meditation of both the individual rooms and circulation spaces. Natural light is a big factor when it comes to the happiness and welfare of students.

*Runner Up for Bud Prize Competition
The main idea for this bookstore is to have many different, engaging experiences that pull you through the building and help you explore your creativity. Bringing this feeling to a bookstore for artists and architects is a memorable experience that will leave an impression on its visitors and spark creativity for its users.

Perspective of the Bookstore
“Tree Spine”
“Art Bridge”
“elements attached to spine”
“living experience”
“work”
The bookstore is made up of two key components, the ‘live’ space and the ‘work’ space. The owner of the bookstore will live on site able to engage with the bookstore as needed. The ‘live’ space shares the entry plaza but remains private with its hidden concrete doors. The bookstore is one big space full of elements that pull you through the space.
