Hopefully as my design portfolio conveys, I have become increasingly involved with understanding sustainable building performance in both commercial and residential projects. I have done this through both the design of passive systems and implementing a wide array of alternative materials, in order to reduce the environmental impact of the building itself. I do this not only by designing passive systems, but by implementing a wide array of alterative materials which also reduce the environmental impact of the building itself. Such designs not only achieve a function of sustainability, but also aesthetic appeal in their urban environments. As we live in an age of depleting standard building materials, there is a need for alternative means of construction to take charge. I want to be in the forefront of this design strategy- to make what now are “alterative” building materials into “standard” building materials.

Community spaces are layered throughout the residential tower to provide opportunity for resident interaction in locations providing spacious views of Manhattan, the Red Hook Recreational Area, and the Upper Bay of the Hudson River. Circulation occurs on alternating floors in the west wing of the tower, so larger units can span the full NorthSouth orientation of building for cross-ventilation and solar gain. Operable shading devices are provided for occupant comfort and preference. A system of green roofs offers both exciting outdoor community space and the opportunity for water catchment and storage in a cistern for reuse on site.

elementary school is the anchor to the South Lake Union in Seattle. The School achieves learning by demonstrating stewardship and environmental resilience. The school design promotes collaboration among peers that is critical for success in young children. In addition, the design of the school teaches students the foundations of collaboration through student community garden and shared learning spaces.

Budget: $2,000,000 project will consist of units for a range of income levels and a range of household sizes. The design >> The features a semiprivate courtyard with inward facing units to encourage a strong residential community. The design also includes single loaded corridors to maximize natural ventilation. The external circulation design allows people to have a greater connection to the outdoors and the courtyard and has the added benefit of reducing operational costs. At the same time, a long term goal of the project is to catalyze economic development in the neighborhood; great attention has been paid to designing a building whose façade enhances the local built environment.

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.

>> The underlying theme of the project is the expression the horizontal 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 Concrete Masonry Units to be entered into the 42nd annual Boise ICMA competition.

>> Slowing the pace of life and experiencing the tangibility of time - the effects of its passage, the changing seasons, the rhythm and pace of handcrafting observing nature and the growing landscape and giving people the opportunity to reconnect with the earth by passing above it and through it as pedestrians are the main goals of this master plan. Located near Boeing Field, Interstate 5 and just north of Renton Airport, the ability to retreat from transportation noise and a fast paced sense of busyness becomes important. There is a need to create and allow space for contemplation while enjoying and learn the art of craft. Using the contemplative rhythm of Kubota as a guide, this project diffuses that tranquility outward. Sited primarily outside the north and west boundaries of the Kubota Garden, this programming will provide an additional entry sequence to the garden from a new direction.
