Ames, a Romanesque Revival structure, was constructed in 1887-1889 to serve as the headquarters for the Ames Agricultural Tool Company. Reaching 15 floors and 196 feet tall, it was considered the tallest masonry skyscraper upon completion. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and designated as a City of Boston Landmark in 1993. Since that time, Ames has been restored to function as a luxury boutique hotel. Commissioned by new ownership, Bergmeyer Associates stepped into the role of Architect of Record to conduct extensive renovations and improvements throughout the building. The underlying goal in re-desiging the space is to improve the guest experience and remain competative with other local boutique hotels.

MY ROLE PROJECT MANAGEMENT
During the course of this project, I oversaw the staffing needs, schedule, and fee utilization in addition to orchestrating the successful completion of the project phases. As the scope of work grew and need arose for additional services, I composed ASRs for the owner’s review and approval.
DUE DILIGENCE
In order to understand the historic preservation, accessibility, code and structural implications for the building, we began by conducting building evaluations and due diligence. Leading a team of consultants and design professionals, I was able to provide the client with feedback regarding the building and renovation implications. This valuable information served to inform their decisions as the project progressed.
FEASIBILITY STUDIES
The owner had a desire to correct design flaws from previous renovations and to generate revenue from underutilized spaces within the building. In order for the client to better understand potential improvement opportunities, I administered multiple feasibility studies associated with acoustics, structural infill and hotel operations.
PRE-DESIGN SERVICES
As preliminary design commenced, I directed a team to conduct an existing conditions survey of the hotel, including all 114 guestrooms. This information proved valuable in the design, documentation and construction phases.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Working hand-in-hand with the owner’s project manager, I kept the client informed about preservation, code, accessibility and structural implications of the interior design team’s proposed solutions.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND PERMITTING
I directed both internal and external team members through the production of construction documents, specifications and applications as required for construction and permitting.
CITY APPROVALS
The various proposed improvements to this building required review and approval by the local authorities having jurisdiction including the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board, the Boston Landmarks Commission, and the Boston Redevelopment Authority. I successfully received the approvals and variances required to proceed with the building improvements through facilitating due diligence, managing consultants, initiating and leading design review meetings with the city, submitting applications and presenting at a public hearing.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION
Working with the contractor and owner’s project manager, we determined staging and phasing necessary to keep the hotel in operation throughout the renovation. I provided associated documentation and specifications as needed for successful implementation of temporary (acoustic) partitions, signage, fire protection, egress, wayfinding and accessibility as required during phasing.
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
Since construction commenced after my relocation to Washington, D.C., I used the month prior to onboard the susequent project manager.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS RETRACTABLE AWNING The addition of a retractable awning will aid in protection from the elements while improving the sense of human scale at the ground oor. SIGN RE-WORK In order to identify the new restaurant while minimizing alteration of the historic fascade, we proposed utilization of the existing sign and replacing the 3D letters in-kind. BI-FOLD WINDOWS/DOORS The addition of bi-fold doors provide the opportunity to increase the restaurant’s connection with the outdoors while still maintaining the existing aesthetic.
BUILDING REPOSITIONING Occupying a prominent corner in downtown Boston, the Ames Boston Hotel has been ripe for investment opportunity. Over the years it became home to various bars and restaurants bringing a sense of vitality to the ground-floor and the adjacent Washington Plaza. After only a few years of under-utilization, the effects on the patio and the plaza were evident. In order to bring a new sense of life and vitality to the hotel, changes needed to be made, not only from the inside-out, but also from the outside-in. The time was right to bring the patio and plaza back to life.
BLC APPROVALS Due to the historic nature of the building, any improvements visible from the exterior require prior approval from the Boston Landmarks Commission. The applicable exterior changes for this project included operable windows and doors, retractable awnings and sign re-work. The commission approved our proposed upgrades and relayed their enthusiasm to see further improvements to the area.

SYCAMORE SQUARE Oklahoma City, Oklahoma SCOPE
Downtown Oklahoma City suffers from under-utilization of real estate, low density and large building setbacks. Over the years, the city has adopted form-based codes in order to improve walkability and maximize density within the urban core. This urban infill, multi-family housing facility will act as an extension to an existing apartment community. In order to activate the streetfront, the building is situated along the property line on land formerly occupied by surface parking and drive ways. The three to four-story building will be home to fifty-seven varying-size residential units located within walking distance of local businesses, restaurants, entertainment venues, healthcare facilities, essential service centers and public amenities.

SITE PLANNING CONCEPTS The project addresses many important urban design factors. The building hugs the property line in order to activate the street-front and prioritize the comfort and convenience of pedestrians. Low planters will screen the adjacent existing parking lot and provide intermittent seating opportunities for passer-bys. Tree-lined boulevards with new onstreet parking will aim to slow traffic and provide protection for pedestrians. One challenge we had to address was how to appropriately connect the new building to the existing apartment complex. Our solution was to improve the alley between the existing Sycamore Square Apartments and Sycamore Square New Build in order to create useable public space for residents. Pervious paving and landscape planters will define pedestrian walk-ways while creating a privacy buffer for the existing apartments. Increased lighting will provide opportunity for improved safety and ambiance for social gatherings.

MY ROLE The success of this facility requires thorough understanding of the developer’s goals, the project budget and the city’s downtown development requirements. In some cases, the goals and interests of the differing parties can be conflicting. Cooperation between the groups can be accomplished, but only through clear communication and setting realistic expectations. We began this process by looking at flexible ways to create building efficiency within the project. Working with various sizes of modular residential units, we created multiple floor plans and building design variations to provide the developer with numerous avenues through which to achieve maximimum efficiency and profit. The modular units aid in meeting the diverse needs of tenants while minimizing the cost and timeline needed for construction. Through ongoing collaboration between the developer, consultants, contractors, and downtown design review committee (DDRC) representatives I was able to provide critical information for feasibility studies and proforma analysis. In this process I gained a greater understanding of the teamwork necessary for successful urban infill projects. I made it my goal to ensure this level of cooperation and momentum remained intact throughout the design process.

MY ROLE This project, completed under a very tight timeline, required the collaboration and hard work of a dedicated team. Just after space planning, I was brought on to the team to conceptualize the interior architecture and design of the facility. Working in collaboration with the University’s architectural and design representatives, senior athletics administration and the President of the University, we received approval on all proposed designs. I then oversaw a team of peers to efficiently develop and complete the required documents for construction. In response to the short timeline, I developed innovative coding and scheduling mechanisms that could seamlessly respond to inevitable owner or value engineering changes. The Revit consultant working with us at the time now uses this innovative scheduling approach on all new projects at his architecture and engineering firm. SITE PLAN

INTERIOR DESIGN + ARCHITECTURE This project presented unique design challenges. In addition to the short timeline, there are many differing aesthetic preferences to which we needed to appease through the interior architecture and design. The donors and alumni raising money to build the facility prefer a more traditional look and feel while the students and young athletes living in the space prefer a more modern and progressive approach to design. Throughout the building, we were able to appeal to both parties through the use of varying textures, vibrant colors, soft lighting, traditional architectural elements and dynamic forms.
FIXTURES, FURNITURE + EQUIPMENT In addition to directing the interior architecture and design,I had the opportunity to conduct the selection,approval, purchase and delivery of a $4 million fixtures, furniture, and equipment package. Outfitting the 240,000 square foot facility required thorough planning, organization, attention to detail and innovation. Each piece of furniture in the building needed to accomodate for the varying weight and size of the athletes as well as non-athlete students. A demo sample obtained from the manufacturer allowed the current athletes to provide feedback on each product’s durability and comfort before final selection. The high-quality, custom furniture throughout the facility appeals to varying aesthetic tastes and employs durable construction, comfort and flexibility.

MY ROLE This project was significant in my career as it was the first project I had the opportunity to independently direct from conception to certificate of occupancy. Although it was a rather “small� project comparatively, the budgetary constraints, unforseen conditions and contractor woes made it a very challenging project to oversee while also managing many other projects and earning my Master in Architecture degree. Through the duration of this project, I learned many valuable lessons in time management, managment of people (delegating tasks), and how to handle very difficult situations in a professional manner without the immediate aid of my superiors. It was an important time of personal growth that prepared me to confidently take on complex future projects. 43
UNIQUE DESIGN CHALLENGES AESTHETICS The brutalist form of the building, comprised of predominately precast contrete and face brick, projected a sense of cold, static rigidity. The 1970s design needed a major renovation and face-lift and the owner’s limited budget forced us to be innovative in how we could lighten the exterior appearance. PHASING Another challenge lay in the owner’s desire to keep the building occupied through the duration of construction. Tenant spaces would need to be vacated, gutted and renovated in phases while also enduring a complete systems upgrade throughout the building. STRUCTURAL UPGRADES As construction commenced, it was discovered that the building was structurally un-sound. Lateral forces were not accounted for in the original building’s structural design. Rather than viewing this obstacle as a negative, we redirected our attention toward how we could innovatively incorporate this necessary structural reinforcement into the character of the design. UTILITY RELOCATION Over the years, the expansion of the interstate forced the occupants to switch the location of the front door. What used to be the front door was now a difficult-to-access back door and what used to be the back door now needed to function as the front door. This required strategic relocation of utilites both for the new structural members and the main entry additions. CONTRACTOR Once the design drawings were complete, the owner expressed the desire to have the tenant fit-out work completed by their own contractor. As a result, the core, shell, and addition work was allocated to a larger contractor and the tenant improvement work remained to be completed by the owner’s contractor. The two contractor’s work overlapped in some areas requiring cooperation to strategically coordinate schedules and logistics. 44

MY ROLE A large part of my role in working with MidFirst Bank was to ensure that each new branch location was built with equal design quality and consistency. Unlike most bank branches, characterized by low cost and low quality products, these branches are set apart in their high cost per square foot and unique design features. BPAA and Rottet Studio worked together to determine the overall design concepts for the bank branches. Following preliminary design, I led a team of consultants to turn the initial concepts into a build-able set of drawings. Working directly with the owner, contractor and trades-people, I finalized the design approach and developed constructible solutions for the unique, custom features within each bank branch. Throughout my time with BPAA, I was involved in and coordinated the production of eight different bank branch projects as well as corporate office renovations for MidFirst Bank. As a result, I strengthened my abilities to lead project teams, direct the construction of complex design features, and grew in my understanding of the value of detailing in order to achieve the desired level of quality in construction.

For my Master of Architecture thesis, I chose to focus on “the role of sustainable urban design and human health”. Research shows that the way we design our buildings and cities can either decrease or increase the opportunity to live active lifestyles within the urban realm. After conducting thorough research on the subject, I applied this newfound knowledge through designing an urban-infill, mixed-use facility and plaza in Louisville, Kentucky.

GOULD HALL NEW FACILITIES | Norman, Oklahoma SCOPE
The Architecture program at the University of Oklahoma, dating back to 1916, has experienced many transformations over the last century. The building where the college now resides underwent a complete renovation and re-opened in the fall of 2011. For the first time, students from all five disciplines (including architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, construction science and regional and city planning) can be housed under one roof. Although the newly renovated space successfully meets many needs, it still struggles to keep up with the growing number of graduate students, faculty and staff. Additionally, the college also lacks the ability to hold large assemblies and is required to borrow space from other colleges for large meetings and presentations. This project explores the opportunity for an addition that can provide space for the college’s graduate programs as well as functional spaces to support large gatherings.

DESIGN GOALS The new facility’s design aims to appropriately reflect the interior function and forward-thinking mindset of the college while also responding to the campus’ Cherokee Gothic architecture. A study of precedents (both on and off campus) helped to guide the decision-making process in regard to form, function and aesthetics. Volumes, lines and materials correspond to the existing College of Architecture facility and respectfully acknowledge the neighboring journalism building. At the same time, progressive design features and technologies give the addition a sense of individuality and speak to the educational aspirations of the college.
64
PROJECT CHALLENGES Due to the project’s extensive program, it was a challenge to fit the long list of needs into such a small space. A contextual model of the site, built by my classmates and I, helped provide scale for our study models. Both the overall site model and study models were used to aid in the exploration of lighting and shadows, view corridors, pedestrian flow, use of exterior space (outdoor rooms) and proportion.

BUILDING FEATURES In addition to the required academic, administrative and presentation spaces, it is important that the communal spaces receive just as much attention. Every space, both interior and exterior, is strategically designed to provide opportunity for social, cultural, and educational development opportunities. An outdoor classroom provides space, for students and professors alike, to move their learning outdoors on pleasant days. The bridge connection between the existing and new building is enclosed by an arched, double-skin curtain wall that provides a bright, sun-lit space for circulation, studying and socialization. The structure is exposed in this area to provide a dynamic experience as well as an educational opportunity for users and visitors. Roof terraces provide an outdoor oasis for building users on the upper levels. This feature provides a cooling effect for the spaces below, technologies for potential rainwater recapture and filtration and hands-on educational opportunities for landscape architecture students.

DESTINATION HEALTHCARE | Dubai, UAE SCOPE
The World Islands, located just off the coast of Dubai, UAE is a collection of 300 islands constructed in the rough shape of a world map. Our objective, was to design an island to function as a destination, resort-style healthcare facility. Our team, comprised of Texas A&M Landscape and Architecture students, chose to design the island of “Hawaii.� Not only do the facilities accomodate for surgical procedures, post-operation treatment and healing for each patient, but it also provides comfort for visitors within the microclimate and promotes sustainability. To meet this objective the island itself plays a major role in the holistic healing approach to healthcare. The island becomes the fusion of organic and built environments that meet the physical, spiritual, and social needs of each patient. The island supports the marriage of hospitality and healthcare as the resort amenities serve not only the patients healing process, but also provide family members with recreational and leisure activities.

SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, UAE, and the visionary of Dubai’s Architectural endeavors, requested that each of the World Island projects be as ecologically friendly as possible. The regions natural resources must be utilized accordingly. The structures on the island aim to portray traditional building methods and Arabic culture. PLANTING materials are arid varieties that reflect the local climate and can thrive with little water. Citrus plants can be used in accordance to Islamic traditions and provide some of the islands food supply. The entry minaret functions as a large scale WIND capture device providing some of the island’s electricity along with vertical TURBINES located periodically around the central ring. Low level horizontal turbines will also be located on the second floor roofs of the hospital and the spa. In order to address the effects of the Arabian heat, SHADE is provided in the form of fabric structures and planted materials throughout the island. To guarantee a low amount of air pollution on the island and within the service tunnels, ALL VEHICULAR TRANSPORTATION operates on electricity. To aid in replenishing any lost marine habitat during the island formation process, SEA WATER ELECTROLYSIS will be used to produce new reef habitats for coral and fish life. This central feature will eventually become a wildlife reserve. The AVIARY will also provide a new habitat for many of Dubai’s cherished bird species, and a venue for falconry demonstrations. GREY WATER from the utilities of every structure on the island will return to a treatment facility beneath the hospital where it is treated and reused for irrigation. Extra measures will be taken to ensure that fresh WATER waste is minimal on the island.
LANDSCAPE FEATURES The landscape program focuses on a holistic process that is comprised of three connected healing experiences. The three areas of healing include the physical, spiritual and social realms of healing. PHYSICAL HEALING During the physical healing experience the visitor will engage in activities that involve rehabilitation, exercise and interaction with nature. SPIRITUAL HEALING The spiritual healing pathway will lead the visitor through meditative experiences that will stimulate the senses and provide opportunity for reflection. SOCIAL HEALING The social healing process will allow the visitor to re-enter the community with renewed health in a relaxed and controlled recreational environment.

MY ROLE A large part of this project focused on collaboration. Our team consisted of architecture and landscape architecture students. The two disciplines worked separately for the first half of the semester, then merged design concepts mid-semester. Through this process, what was once a series of decent design concepts became a compelling project with depth and breadth. I took a leading role in the overall design concepts, sustainability features, island design, building design, sketches, physical model, presentation images and boards. Our team was awarded “Best All Around Design� by the executives from HKS Dallas and SWA Group. What set our project apart from the rest was the eagerness of our team members to learn from the other disciplines. This desire to learn from each other led to a unified partnership and a cohesive design.
