ROBERTSON PARK: STIMULATING DEL PASO HEIGHTS
Sacramento, California
Public Interest Design Initiatve. Arch 480
the underserved neighborhoods of del paso heights were the focus of this project. crea�ng and s�mula�ng a new iden�ty for the surrounding community by redesigning the park into a sports complex to acrue revenue for its growth. My approach to this interven�on was to minimize the cost of the park redesign while simultaneously crea�ng a combined sunshade/water catchment system to s�mulate social pockets within the park. the water would then be pumped into tanks which would rely on gravity to disperse through the community center and restrooms as an effec�ve and cheaper alterna�ve to a two pump system. The newly invented spaces would inheret a new neighborhood iden�ty for the s�mula�on of the underserved community

Old Buildings, New Forms: Adap�ve Reuse
Portland, Oregon
New Directions in Architectural Transformations. Arch 382 This Projects Target was to revitalize a historic fire sta�on into a sustainable transit Hub for small businesses and public transporta�on services that connect to the community to promote sustainable living. My Focus was to keep the original brick rectangle form of the fire house and create a “Wrap” around the extrior to juxtapose the old and the new buildings. I also designed a roo�op system built up of steel rods and conrete panels to simultaneously diffuse natural light into the upper floors, allow for natural ven�la�on, and shed rainwater from the roof to an exterior bioswale. The falling water from the roof was also intended to create an acous�c shield from the adjacent train sta�on. 12

The Luscher Farm CSA Project
Lake Oswego, Oregon
Enhancement of Urban and Rural Relations. Arch 380 My Ini�al design explora�ons centered around four main concepts: To enlighten the community of the importance of agriculture, bring program congruency to the people and the landscape, administer educa�onal opportuni�es for the community and limit the footprint of the structure without compromising its integrity. I wanted to compliment the programming layed out through both structures to enhance the efficeiny, organiza�on, and mobility.

Building Boats, Building Lives
Portland, Oregon
Boat Workshop for At-Risk Youth. Arch 381 The spotlight of the boat workshop was the minimal space given for this infill project. I designed the workshop with 3 �ers that included a workspace on the bo�om floor, a study space and collabora�on area on the second floor, and the third floor held professor offices and a gallery of finished work. The three story design inspired an inven�on of a sliding door that collapses within each shell of itself to maximize useful space and easy in and out boat export.
