Budget: $2,000,000 >> GoNano © Technologies is an nanotechnology research and production startup company developed by the University of Idaho and Washington State University. Our challenge was to create an affordable facility for them in Port of Clarkston in Washington State. Major drivers for our design was to create a building that responds to natural context while keeping within the 2 million dollar budget that was allowed. In addition, we wanted to create a structure that was built with mostly sustainable building technologies in order to save on operation costs, as well as a negative environmental impact. We choose rammed earth in order to achieve this. Rammed earth provides for thermal mass, affordable building materials (but more labor intensive), as well as a aesthetic that matches the surrounding context. The rammed earth allows for less use of virgin building materials to be consumed.

The University of Idaho in Moscow is in need of new indoor / outdoor tennis facility to participate in NCAA D-1 tennis. This facility allows for sheltered courts while also allowing for natural air to move through the space. The facility integration with the site allows for minimal site impact. Main focus for the studio project was to create an overall model alongside a structural bay model that depicts critical structure of the building.

zontal motion toward the downtown Boise area. The building layout is determined to maximize efficiency of movement towards the apparatus bay. The use of raw materials and red vertical solar assisted towers, allows the fire station to standout and become an icon for Boise fire fighting. The structure creates a public edge from 15th street, which also allows the trucks to have better access to Stations number 5’s district. The project required the use of Concre o the 42nd annual

>> The winery is intended to be a simple and functional space primarily, while incorporating

an agricultural/industrial aesthetic with a touch modern elegance. A strong integration with the surrounding farmland dictated many design choices. The design engages visitors in the experience of wine making and wine tasting. My Involvement consisted of conceptional design, digital modeling, & rendering and group coordination.

>> For me, one of the major reasons for Rome Trip 2012 with the University of Idaho was to

learn to become a better observational sketcher. The intention was to create sketches that were quick but depict the subject with accurate proportions and light. I chose to use mostly watercolor in order to quickly show accurate colors of the subject. In the process I fell in love with water colors. All sketches were completed fully on-site.
