HYANNIS PUBLIC LIBRARY

Hyannis, MA | Union Studio

This library addition in Hyannis, MA evaluates the purpose of a library as well as it's place within the city. Located within the Waterfront Historic District, care was taken to create an addition that respects the scale of the neighborhood while establishing itself as a community and civic building. Care was taken to the programming and layout for safety and efficiency, and includes non-traditional spaces such as a commercial kitchen.

ADE BETHUNE HOUSE & PORTSMOUTH SENIOR CENTER

Portsmouth, RI | Union Studio

The Ade Bethune House & Portsmouth Senior Center is an affordable senior housing project with a first floor Senior Center. Given the size and residential neighborhood, care was taken to keep the scale of the building down by using oversized windows and faux dormers. The Senior Center serves as a gathering space for both the residents and the larger community.

NOVE SALON

Michigan | BACK4D

This small interior fit out was an exercise in flow and aesthetic design to match the salon's branding. The existing space was a blank rectangle, but with strategic interior casework and walls becomes a cozy and chic work space. The salon owner wanted to create a high end experience, but still feel warm and welcoming.

YOUKOSO TOKYO

Thesis | RISD

This thesis project asks: how will visualizing the image of Tokyo through replication of narrative representation tropes break that same image? What role will that breaking play in realizing the future of Tokyo and of Asian Americans? There are three mediums this is explored in. The website is the cyborg world, the guidebook its physical promotion, and the salespitch.

SUBDIVISION

Competition | LA Lowrise

This competition was a conceptual duplex focused around flexibility and providing a variety of outdoor spaces in a typical subdivision of Los Angeles. The units are designed to maximize interior space and be personalized. The flexibility was a must to allow for non-typical tenants and to consider the long-term needs as they change.

EARTHEN ECOLOGIES

Advanced Studio | After Nature | RISD

This speculative early education center is a study of construction and decay using local and recycled materials, transplanted forms and techniques, and an educational model supported by the architecture itself. It is semi-buried along the Seekonk River, acknowledging the flood potential as a natural expiration date. The students can learn within nature in a non-traditional building and education model.

POP ARCHITECTURE

Core 1 | RISD

This project is a study of narrative and graphics as a driver for architecture. The site is a small courtyard in front of the RISD museum. Four sheets, oriented true north, were then placed into the courtyard. The lines of the court generated seems for the sheets to fold with. Through lifting and extruding, the sheets began to create a series of spaces needed for the narrative. Color is used to codify the sheets in the drawings and to codify Penguin’s emotions in the narrative.

NATURE CENTER

Comprehensive Design | LTU

The goal of this project is to use architecture as a vessel for public education opportunities while enhancing the natural environment. It aims to provide informative interior and exterior exhibits on the aquatic, reptilian, amphibian, aviary, and vegetative wildlife native to the Great Lakes region. It also works to provide informative exhibits on sustainable building performance and sites, as well as water conservation efforts.

FACTORY NO. 3

Integrated Design 5 | LTU

This is a conceptual community center for teenagers in a rural Michigan town. Physical properties, such as light conditions, material, and form, serve to reinforce the goal of fostering life skills and providing a variety of entertainment options for underserved students. There are
also on-site affordable dwellings for young adults to gain
experience with independent living.

URBAN COMPOSTING

Integrated Design 4 | LTU

This study is on the systematic use of compost and the role of the food cycle in a community. A mapping of the site in Detroit was created, focusing on highlighting relationships between the various needs of the community. Finally, these relationships were used to determine the program of a new community center. At its core, it is an education center for all areas of the food cycle, which is supported by adaptable classroom spaces for health classes, event spaces, and an open courtyard.

DETROIT DWELLING

Detroit, MI | Commission

Constructed with structural insulated panels (SIP) and an
industrial aesthetic, this house is designed for an emptynest couple with a desire to downsize in a sustainable way. Radiant heat flooring, SIP construction, and roof-mounted photovoltaic panels help to reduce the carbon footprint, while modern furnishings, concrete floors and countertops, and open-riser stairs create a livable and contemporary interior space.

IDENTITY

Studio Art II | HHS

self-portrait about the layers of a person not always visible. It is a mixed media piece; the additive composition compliments the jumble of images. While it adheres to the project required pieces, including “your eye,” “a famous piece of art,” “something inspirational,” it does not segment as individual components. Instead, transparency is used to layer onto the physical body part, reflecting how the spirit is messy and complicated when shown to the world.
