GAINES ST. MIXED USE BUILDING
DESIGN 3 SUMMER 2019
PROGRAM
Gaines Street has become the main thoroughfare through the College Town district of Tallahassee. Gaines St. has a variety of housing options supplemented with a diverse mix of uses. The goal of this project was to design a mixed use building to complement this urban district with a focus on the challenges of topographical treatment and occupancy use layout.
JACKSONVILLE HIGH RISE
DESIGN 4.1 FALL 2019
PROGRAM The design considers the expanding employment of mixed use buildings as a major contributor to the return of population in the center cities. Returning center city population helps to reduce overuse of rural and exurban open land. The criterion in site selection was to find land that is underused or facing redevelopment.
The recent demolition of the Jacksonville Landing granted an unoccupied 9-acre site at the heart of downtown Jacksonville. The previous horseshoe shaped structure arrested the sight line of the St. Johns River from Laura Street. Both the river and Laura St. are important thoroughfares in the city with a high-potential juncture.

A contextual massing study was done at 1" = 100' to consider building placement on the site and the effects such placement would have on the surrounding structures. A single tower was placed on each side of the street proving both sides to be admissible. To exaggerate the concept of extending Laura St. to the river, two towers were placed with a scheme of junction between them. The design arrived at the two separate towers connecting with a bridge over Laura St.
HYBRID WOOD ATLANTA
DESIGN 4.2 SPRING 2020
PROGRAM
This Atlanta-based project is the site of a six-level wood research institute and a twenty-four level apartment building all with first and second level retail. The focus of this project is to explore hybrid wood construction within the design of this mixed-use site. Underground is a multilevel parking garage to accommodate the residents, staff, and shoppers.
While the parking structure is concrete construction, the primary building material is wood. The apartment building consists of two concrete cores centrally located to support the wood system in the rest of the building. Unlike the apartments, the wood research institute is designed with all wood structure.
NEW YORK HIGH LINE
DESIGN 6.1 FALL 2020
PROGRAM
The New York High Line is an adaptive reuse project that created a pedestrian path from an existing elevated rail line. The site for this building spans from one side of the High Line to the other. Because of this split, the designed structure could welcome pedestrians from right off of the High Line. The program consists of a residential high rise, an outdoor shopping plaza, a movie theater, and an underground parking garage.
CHICAGO LAKE POINT TOWER CHARETTE DESIGN 6.2 SPRING 2021
A priority in this project was focusing on how the building’s form would respond to the wind. Through positioning the orientation of the building, softening the sides and adding perforation throughout the form, the wind would not act as harshly on the structure.
BUILT WORK
Elkhart Drive K-8 School Elkhart Drive K-8 is a 200,000 square foot kindergarten through eighth grade school in Navarre, Florida. Upon completion, this will serve 1,200 Santa Rosa County School District students. Through this design, I was able to combine my knowledge of structural applications of steel and concrete with my skills in BIM.
My role in the development of this building was to create and manage the digital structural model and drawings. The project was set up in Autodesk Revit and was designed with parametric elements to adjust to changes made within the architectural model that affected the structural design.
Abaco Condos Gulf Shores Abaco Gulf Shores is a 78 unit luxury gulf front complex that sits 200 feet from the Gulf of Mexico. On this project I gained experience with structural methods that go into building a high-rise. My job was to create and manage the BIM structural model (pictured) in accordance to the engineer's specifications.
Pensacola Fire Station 3
Eden at Crestview Assisted Living Facility At 45,500 square feet, Eden at Crestview is a two-story memory care and assisted living facility designed to house 70 residents. This facility was built primarily with the use of wood frame construction.
I had the opportunity to work with the structural engineer on this project assisting with BIM. My duties included creating a 3D structural model, and developing structural plans and details based on engineer specifications. A highlight of my role on this project was creating truss and wood framing families (Revit) with parametric values.
