The mission of this studio was to create a live artist community with a comfortable apartment that represents home for the residents of Fayetteville, Arkansas and adds more social activity to the busy downtown Dickson street. The building facade was designed to reveal the richness of the Ozark wood texture and quality. The design allows individuals to admire the volumetric towers stacked on top of the solid horizontal block and appreciate the intervention of contemporary design which is often not found in small college towns. Imaginative creation is the primary art form allowing the artists to explore, create, and display for the community. There are eighteen workspace studios, three galleries, eighteen apartments, gift shop, cafe & bar, skylight and open terrace.

02 HOUSING NWA LOCATION: BENTOVILLE, AR DURATION: 4 MONTHS YEAR: SPRING 2018
Housing NWA project was a collaboration with the Walton family foundation to address the shortage of attainable housing in the Northwest Arkansas region. The site exists between the new Thaden School & Bentoville Square. In response to this context,the west side features retail spaces, restaurants/coffee shops & educational spaces on the street level with dwelling units above. While the south-side has live-work units for artists and entrepreneurs. These two bar form an L-shape that addresses the corner of the site and creates a protection screen between the street and the interior where family units surround the communal spaces. The units differ in sizes and layout to accommodate the number of inhabitants, various price ranges and a want for individuality. The orthogonal organization follows the city’s grid while angles in plan indicate areas of interest such as the gym, pool and office. An operable perforated metal screen along the south and west provides day-long shading and an ever-changing facade. This colored shading system also winds into the interior spaces of the complex, expressing entrances and path of movement. 10|11

The city of Pineville, Missouri is the county seat of Mc Donald county. Pineville is situated where Big Sugar creek merges to become the Elk River. The area is home to 25 canoe outfitters and several campgrounds; just to the northeast are Big Sugar Creek Park and Huckleberry Ridge Conservation area. The mission of this studio was to work with the city council of Pineville to help address bike trails, and pedestrian paths, design a riverfront, create a new street-scape along the square and design a new recreational center.

BIKE ZONE Pineville is adding a bike shop at the northwest part of town at the end of a long field owned by an indigence of the city. The path will add a bike lane that will connect the town to the bike shop. An additional bike trail is attached along the riverfront, linking back to the bike shop. From there the bike trail will continue down the river and back up to the city creating a loop. The main construction of this will be concrete; it is cheap, durable, and can withstand the flooding that happens multiple times during the year. The average cost of a 5ft concrete bike trail is around $300,000 per mile with an average yearly maintenance cost of $130,000.
TOURIST ZONE Pineville would like to bring more tourists to their city annually and not only during the peak floating seasons which is usually from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The boat launch will be designed to give individuals a unique reason to visit the town. The bike trail cuts through the tower and connects with the boat launch. The bike trail will work with the riverfront of these areas to create a pleasant experience with the river and the natural landscape of the city.

04 MUSIC OFFICE TOWER LOCATION: CHICAGO,IL DURATION: 4 MONTHS YEAR: SPRING 2014
This studio aimed to design an office tower with a central core supported by structures. Throughout the process of urbanization, towers have been symbols of technological excellence, prime capitals and the societal projections of wealth and prosperity. The inspiration for this project came from the sign of a music symbol. This activation of flow forms organic punctuation in the landscape. The goal was to challenge the sustenance of commonplace boxy towers. The elegant, natural shape of the building mixes passion and drama with an adequate footprint ideal for offices and other commercial uses which create a unique experience of the city, a hierarchical distribution. At the podium, the cadence of the floors rising into the sky echo the modular rhythms of the human experience, yet emphasize the movement of an adoring figure. It can perceive from different corners of the street as an illusion of a dancing woman or a building in motion. 24|25
