This youth center will be located in the Barrio Historico (also known as Barrio Libre) at the corner of 17th + Convent Avenue in Tucson, Arizona. The site is zoned as HO-3 and is a 4,777 sq. ft. adobe structure. It has stood abandoned for many years and is now uninhabitable in its current state. It is faced by a beautifully broken facade that begs to be put to good use again.CONTEXT AND SITE RESPONSE

3 Key Design Strategies

1 Expand and reactivate the space while remaining respectful to the historical context

2 Utilize the proportions in place throughout any building modifications

3 Create an environment that the youth want to be in by creating an oasis in this desert environment

Senior Housing at 5201-5215 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85012

This project provides numerous amenities to draw senior residents out of their unit to encourage them to keep their bodies fit and their minds sharp. All of the community spaces are designed to exercise the mind, the body, or both. The spaces are flexible to facilitate the relationship of the mind and body and strengthen the idea of a balanced lifestyle.

Through these mental and physical exercises, residents will have opportunities to interact with their neighbors and build relationships within their community.

NEIGHBORHOOD- 35TH AVENUE

I worked as a summer intern for the San Francisco office of Perkins Eastman. In this capacity, I was assigned to a design team who was rennovating the Mercy Retirement and Care Center. It is a nonprofit continuing care retirement community that has been providing care and services in Oakland, CA since 1908. Their facilities provide skilled nursing, memory care, and assisted living services.

As part of the design team, I was responsible for assisting in the preparation of architectural drawings through the use of Revit and AutoCAD. I also prepared presentation materials for client meetings with Photoshop, Illustrator, and other needed programs.

As the summer winds drift in from the ocean a sensor determines the direction of the wind and in response, one of the eight panel configurations on top of the tower opens allowing the wind to funnel through the tower. Meanwhile a corresponding glass panel on the leeward side of the first floor opens, creating a pressure difference allowing the wind to flow through the house and cool the spaces.

In order to create a sustainable structure, eight foot cantilevers were placed on the North side of

the building providing maximum shade throughout the summer months, while shorter

cantilevers where placed on the South side of the structure.

Bedrooms were pushed into the ground and act as the stereotomic portion of the home. Minimal

natural lighting and an enclosed patio contrast with the overall openness of the upper floor.

A shipping containers frame was used for the top floors. The left over sides were refurbished as

sliding panels to provide shade, privacy, and the ability to close the home when not on vacation or

slide them off to the sides to open up to the surrounding views.

Concept: Located off of Bondi Beach, this container house reflects the history of its surroundings. The definition of its name, the inconsistency in the surf, even the beach goers share a similar attitude. The sound of waves crashing against rocks, the surfable waves one day to the soft waves the next, the prohibition of ‘skimpy’ swim wear all represent opposing forces. This container house represents these ideas through stereotomic vs tectonic.

Like blood to the body, [ARTery] brings life to the community. The needs of the family drive the rigid form of this home’s rammed earth structure, which is designed to appreciate the natural beauty of Camelback Mountain as well as to reach out to the neighborhood arts community.

The luxurious, 5 bedroom/5.5 bath, family home doubles as a spacious art gallery. The architecture encourages conscious connections between the occupants, art, and the community. The open concept, double height spaces provide ample room to entertain while delivering optimal views of the mountain.

The Pioneer and Military Memorial Cemetery is located near down-town Phoenix, at 15th Ave and Jefferson. There are over 3,000 people buried there but time has worn down most of the headstones, leaving only about 600 marked gravesites.

There were so many names- so many people- who have simply disintegrated into nothingness, leaving behind no body, no name, and no memories.

There were people from all across the United States and others from Canada, Scotland, England, Ireland, Prussia, France, Russia, and Sweden. The allure of Arizona was great. But the journey was not an easy one.

Many people found themselves tired and penniless, stuck in an unforgiving desert. This project memorializes their journeys.

Located on Forest Mall, between the Coor Building and Dixie Gammage Hall, the Light box sits in a high-traffic area. Hundreds of students and staff pass this site daily, hurrying by on their way to their destination. These busy people get wrapped up in their own schedule and responsibilities and forget about anything else. The Light box is designed to wake these people up and remind them of the simple things in life that they could not live without.

People can take a moment to walk into the Light box and, no matter what time of day it is, have the sun light shining on them. The presence of light is the presence of life, a reminder of the little things that tend to get pushed aside for homework, class, or work. No matter how many things a person does in one day, they need to remember that none of it would be worth doing without the simple pleasures of life.

This semester, we were asked to design a new fire station for the existing Fire Station 22. The site was located at Broadway Rd and Central Ave, across from a transit center and a future light rail station. The most important objectives were to create a restorative, restful environment, ensure functionality of the fire station, provide security, maintain the residential scale of the context, and build community relationships.

5 months out of the year, the �re �ghters will be comfortable using only passive systems.

Energy Use Index (EUI) = (Total Energy Used Annuall) kBtu = 36 kBtu/ft2/yr (Building Gross Square Footage)ft2

The average EUI for a Phoenix �re station is 68 kBtu/ft2/year.

Based on this benchmark, Fire Station 22 performs 47% more e�ciently than the average.

Sustainability was an important factor in our design. We used Climate Consultant and the psychrometric chart to come up with the most efficient design strategies.

We also analyzed the life cycles of our chosen materials to ensure that the project had a minimal environmental impact. Many materials were chosen because they were reuseable or because they could be recycled.

Rainwater collection was another primary aspect of our design. The roof of our design and the rainwater collection system collect and store enough water to naturally water the native landscaping on the site.

There were many changes that had to be made between design and final construction. Our final product did function the way it was originally intended to. The wall and floor slid out as orignally designed and could be done easily with just one person.

microdwell - box office

spring 2015sketch-up, photoshop, hand-built

This was an opportunity to actually build something that we designed. I worked with six other architecture and landscape architecture students to design and build a microdwelling under 600 square feet and display it at the Shemer Art Center with other projects from January 31 - March 1.

We designed the BoxOfice, which offers an indoor/outdoor work environment that utilizes space without compromising convenience and good design. When it is closed, the structure is no more than 80 square feet but it doubles when one of the walls slide out along with a second floor. The BoxOffice can be outfit with flexible furniture that allows the space to be utilized as an office, a sleeping space, or an entertaining space when the weather is nice.

With the financial support of AIA and several other sponsers, we were able to buy the materials to bring BoxOffice to life. We began building in a teammate’s driveway. Within just three short months, we had designed, gathered materials, and built the BoxOffice.
