Design Work
Listed below is all my work completed in my educational career. Throughout my education, I have strived to learn as much as possible about the Architectural Process and have endeavored to create projects that are reverent to their program, context, and concept.
01
Clark Heights, the final work of my high school career, is an exploration of mixed-use development. Standing tall at 70 stories, the tower houses 1400 residential units from 1-bedroom to penthouse options. With a retail mall taking up the first two floors of the program, Clark Heights reimagines the typical high-rise residential work.
02
This abstraction explores the nature of the organization of space by a single designer. A coherent scheme of 3 geometric patterns blends across a landscape on which 2" cubic volumes stand.
03
These planes act as a first act to the below work. They explore the nuances of spatial hierarchy across an 8" cubic volume. A proportioning system is lightly inscribed on the surface of these planes, speaking to the design decisions made.
04
Building upon the previous work, Spatial Enclosure explicitly describes the various volumes and geometries created by the planes. Primary and Secondary volumes are encompassed by an offset Datum.
05
Decension is a project that holds reverence to the Artist that it enshrines. Through a rigid adherence to the residential Ken Mat proportioning system, a cultural homage to Isamu Noguchi is created in the form of a tiered sculpture garden. Streams of water cut through the garden serves to calm the environment into a reflective atmosphere.
06
This project analyzes the product characteristics and history of the modern tape-measure. Cataloguing its assembly, feedback and signifiers, and orthographic projections in order to develop a better understanding of its design.
07
A Conceptual and interpretive study of the Vila Shodhan through collage and 3 dimensional diorama, the key features of Le Corbusier's work are put on display in an effort to understand the underlying design principles of the project.
08
Building upon Spatial Enclosure, Extensions of Space confronts the rationalization of orthogonal volumes with organic terrain in the creation of a courtyard through the unfolding of the hierarchy of spaces from the original cubic volume.
09
Contemplation sits along the west coast of the U.S. providing a contemplative get-a-way for Yayoi Kusama a 94-year-old Japanese American Artist known for experimental performative artwork.
10
Radiant Sunrise strives to create a monument on the soil of the Konza Prarie. This monument holds within it a space for visitors to experience 3 artworks by various artists, all of the works are highlighted through their unique relationship to natural sunlight.
11
Reminiscence endeavors to call back to the history of its site through its form, its relationship to its context, and its program. The project program lends itself to the respect of nature and the building taking a secondary stance on the landscape to the preference of the development its exhibitions celebrate.
12
A Case Study of the Edmonton Public Library (Capilano Branch) by Group2 Architects. Completed with my colleague Aidan Maxwell.
13
The Council Grove Public Library builds off of the takeaways gathered from the earlier precedent study in order to design an exemplary library for the small town of Council Grove Kansas. My proposal intentionally incorporates nature and vegetation in order to bolster curiosity, learning, and growth.
14
Deriving its formal geometry from the existing social connectivity of Eureka, Interwoven Lives creates a space for that same form of interconnected community between residents. With a patio or balcony afforded to all 12 units on the property as well as shared views of the several courtyards and community garden on the site, there are multitudes of opportunities for the residents to grow closer and live happier within their community.
15
​The Center for Kaw River Culture takes a measured architectural response to its context, cultural conditions, and programmatic needs through an in-depth exploration of how space can be derived from numerology.
16
The Topeka branch of The Aztec Theatre marks the significance of the cinematic experience by expressing the masses of the theaters in contrast with the voids of lofted space left behind. The programs presence is reinforced by a hung 4’x8’ stone tile facade sitting over glazing that is set back 5’ from the corner of the urban fabric established by the building’s context.
17
The Hanging Theatre, sited where the competing street grids of Chelsea and The West Village meet in the Meatpacking District, is an architectural composition which balances contextual influence, and a diagram which hangs the public space as the most celebrated area of the project.
18
The Sashimono Timber House located at 1424 E Almeria Rd, Phoenix AZ, 85006. is designed to be a categorical innovation on the prefabrication and affordability modules that exists in the single family residential market today. “Sashimono” is a technique for assembling furniture and other wooden items without nails, using both simple and highly complex wood joints.
19
Completed in Italy in the fall of 2024, The Intergenerational Day Center takes inspiration from the organic design principles of Orvieto, Italy to create an intimate and collaborative community center for youth and elderly residents in the historic mountain town in central Italy.
20
The Intuitive Home is an affordable and efficient three-bedroom, two-bathroom house designed and built by my fall 2025 ADS 7 Studio class. After 8 weeks of design revisions, The Intuitive Home is in construction to be finished and sold by Habitat for Humanity of the Northern Flint Hills in the Summer of 2026
