MIXED-USE COMMUNITY CENTER Selected project from current firm Programs used: Revit, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Powerpoint
This mixed-use community center is to be sited on a military base. Many families live on the base, and this 75,642 square foot, three-story building will provide an aquatics program, a teen center, and a larger library to accommodate the growing population. My role in this project was to contribute to the schematic design and model the building in revit as the Technical Lead. I was involved in all three stages of project execution: STAGE 1 I interviewed representatives from aquatics, the teen center, and the library on their wants and needs for a new facility. I drew first draft schematic floor plans on site to determine the necessary square footage. STAGE 2 I modelled the preferred alternative in Revit, and developed schematic design drawings for the Customer Concept Document report. STAGE 3 I presented the draft version of the report and large format drawings on site to clients, and solicited critiques of the design. I then incorporated client suggestions in the next iteration of conceptual design documentation in Revit.

The aquatics component includes a SCUBA classroom and men’s and women’s locker rooms on the first floor. Outside, there is a recreation pool, a kid’s zero-entry pool, and a training tank. The teen center will occupy two stories, and provide many different activity rooms for teenagers to use, including computer rooms, a small theater, and a teaching kitchen. The library will take up two stories, will provide ample collections space, and will feature two maker spaces - a craft maker space and a tech maker space.

THREE BEDROOM TOWNHOUSE Selected project from current firm Programs used: Revit, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Powerpoint
This is a conceptual design of a three-bedroom townhouse for a private client. The client plans to use the design to build a neighborhood of family townhouses in a military base. This townhouses will vary in square footage, and will be joined in duplexes and triplexes, as modeled opposite. But all townhouses will retain the same design language. My role in the project was Technical Lead once again. I was involved in all three stages of project execution in the same process as the community center: STAGE 1 I conducted a series of interviews and home tours with current residents at the military base to determine their needs and preferences for housing, and to investigate the issues of current housing on base. I drafted hand drawn plans, sections and elevations on site in a collaborative charrette display to the clients. I sought input from the clients and current residents in order to choose a preferred alternative. STAGE 2 I modelled the preferred alternative in Revit. I developed the conceptual designs into drawings and renderings for a Customer Concept Document report. STAGE 3 I presented the draft version of the report and large format drawings on site to clients, and solicited critiques of the design. I then incorporated client suggestions in the next iteration of conceptual design documentation in Revit. 8

The first floor features a family room separated from the main living area on the second floor, which can be used for personal storage, a kid’s playroom, or even a home business such as a hair salon. There is generous storage here for outerwear and other belongings. The garage is suitable for one car but has ample storage space. The second floor is the most flexible space, containing the kitchen, dining and living areas. The stairs open into the flexible dining/living space, where furniture can be arranged in any configuration easily. The kitchen features a stove top island, leaving plenty of usable counterspace along the edges. There is a breakfast nook in the rear, and a balcony space in the front that connects the resident to the street frontage, while maintaining a sense of semi-privacy. The third floor features the three bedrooms. The master bedroom is not separated from the other bedrooms, but placed on the same level, which was a concern of many current residents. The laundry room was given ample depth for useful and abundant interior storage.

OLD TOWN DESIGN STANDARDS Selected project from current firm Programs used: Revit, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Powerpoint
EXISTING STYLES FARMHOUSE CRAFTSMAN
Old Town is a small neighborhood in downtown Wilsonville, Oregon. The city asked for the creation of Single-Family Design Standards to guide future development in the district. The intention of the Design Standards was to preserve the unique, historic character of the neighborhood, which dates back to the mid-19th century. Our firm cataloged the existing conditions of the neighborhood, studied the unique elements that formed the architectural styles of the homes, and developed clear and concise standards that illustrate the patterns and elements of Old Town Wilsonville. These guidelines provide the city and the community with tools to minimize problems regarding future development and redevelopment projects that are inconsistent with the context of Old Town. By protecting the spirit and sense of place in Old Town, the look, feel, and culture unique to the neighborhood is also preserved.
RANCH
The Single-Family Design Standards were approved unanimously by the City Council in December 2017. My role in this project was to catalog the housing types on site, research the historical architectural styles, and design graphics in the report. 15

JAMES BEARD PUBLIC MARKET Thesis Studio | Programs Used: AutoCAD, Rhino, Photoshop, Illustrator
My thesis studio was a design proposal for the James Beard Public Market, which is planned for downtown Portland in the near future. The site is at the west side Morrison Street bridge head. My design concept was a botanical public market with a focus on natural wellness. Visitors can learn about naturopathic healing and healthy foods at the market teaching kitchens, and buy those foods at the market. The botanical public market draws inspiration from 19th century glasshouses and Joseph Paxton’s Crystal Palace. My market halls are modern glasshouses that connote the clean, clinical aesthetic of botanical architecture. These market halls are contrasted by an alley as the main circulation axis which is full of street food, movement, light and color.

WITHIN THE SITE
The market site is across and under the Morrison Bridge head. Portland’s Naito Parkway separates the market site from the Tom McCall Waterfront Park and the Willamette River, a busy location for “Portland’s Kitchen”. 20
GROUND FLOOR PLAN
Many market stalls selling local meats, vegetables and beer occupy the ground floors of my glass houses. The walkable alley in between is sheltered by a colorful translucent roof. Market stalls along the walls of the glass houses sell meals through sliding windows to people in the alley, making it an active food street with seating along the edges. 21
LONGITUDINAL SECTION THROUGH TALLER GLASSHOUSES The transparent glasshouses expose the inner workings of each building, particularly the HVAC systems from each of the larger, refrigerated market stalls.
ELEVATION FROM NAITO PARKWAY The glasshouses reflect the trees from Tom McCall Waterfront Park while also showing the movement of people and colors of the market goods on the inside. 22

HAIER FLAGSHIP STORE Internship Abroad in China | Programs Used: Rhino and Illustrator
During the summer of 2014 I worked as an intern in the Xian Dai Architecture Group in Shanghai, China. The office I was placed in was called the Creative Planning Studio. One of the projects I was assigned to was a plan for the Haier Flagship Store, which is to be built in Shenzhen, China. Haier is an electronics and appliance brand, and this flagship store will showcase new designs in several different display rooms and workshop spaces.

GROUND FLOOR
The Creative Planning Studio had already designed an exterior facade of mostly glass to expose curving floor plates and ramps inside. My task was to generate several schemes for floor plans to determine the best sizes and orientations for display platforms. I included space on the ground floor for a cafe and two meeting rooms/ presentation or event spaces. I worked with my supervisor to coordinate the interior space planning with the existing organic exterior design. I designed cell-shaped rooms with fillets carefully chosen to mimic the exterior shell.

DETAIL DRAWINGS Design Technology Class | Programs Used: AutoCAD
This class focused on the principles of designing exterior wall systems. The Four D’s of enclosure design were stressed: drainage, deflection, drying and durability. During the course I learned how to design and detail wood, terracotta and brick enclosures and aluminum curtain walls. For the final project, I designed a two storey brick veneer/steel stud wall with a perpendicular glass canopy attached at the first floor.
