PURPOSEDo something, not because youre told to, or because it is what youre supposed to dobut because you dug deep and found out thats what your heart is about

Returning to school after an extended period gave me the opportunity to benefit from life and work experience and allowed me to focus my energies on deep-down, heart-felt interests.

I finished my Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies at the University of Washington in 2002. My undergraduate education taught me much and gave me grounding in architecture, design, and problem solving. I had many friends who continued directly to graduate school, but I decided my own path required time to reflect and broader experience to inform my future decisions. I wanted first of all to capitalize on an opportunity to travel and secondly to pursue hands-on professional experience.

I have been fortunate in finding work that is challenging and rewarding. I first pursued a couple of projects independently, and then was employed six years with Belay Architecture in Tacoma. Although entering as an intern, my work provided the opportunity to follow projects from beginning to end and to take a leadership role in office marketing and management activities. A number of these projects are highlighted in the portfolio. In an office focused on design-build projects, I have benefited from close interaction with contractors and consultants and direct exposure to technical aspects of building. I have managed to complete my IDP training requirements and LEED accreditation. I recently began studying and taking the ARE.

Outside of work, I have dedicated time to my community. This has manifested in neighborhood involvement, interest in land-use policy, and advocacy in historic preservation. I served on the Board of Historic Tacoma, a local non-profit, as well as on the Pierce County Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission. As part of this, I have produced events and educational programming for the community. I have also followed public policy issues and provided written and oral testimony. For Historic Tacoma I wrote nominations to the Washington Trust and National Trust for endangered properties. In 2009 I also successfully completed the nomination and listing on the Tacoma Historic Register of a social club built in 1889. This effort included research and writing of the nomination, gathering neighborhood support, outreach to the building owner, and public presentations. In October that same year, I attended a National Trust for Historic Preservation conference in Nashville. Most recently I am working with a group of citizens near Tacoma to develop a business plan and to form a non-profit to preserve a mid-century home designed by Robert Price.

Giving time this way has furthered my commitment to the built environment.

I believe strongly in the purpose of contributing to the health and vitality of community and that a sustainable society maintains and adapts existing structures. In returning for graduate studies I look to focus my academic inquiry in this area. The University of Oregon MArch Portland based program has been ideal allowing me explore these interests and retain my ties and commitments to community. I see my graduate studies, a reward in and of itself, as a time to add knowledge and design skills. I am am pleased with the investment and the outcome of the work Ive produced in this period.

GRADUATE DESIGN STUDIOS

The University of Oregon Portland Program takes advantage of the urban surroundings as a learning lab. Our elective courses and studios benefit from examples in planning and the community of design professionals. Studios often make use of interesting sites either downtown or in a neighborhood setting with importance given to understanding the context. My studio projects strive to be responsive to place, build the urban fabric, and be inventive while making use of effeciencies in modulation, form and structure.

How do we grow an economy rooted in place that supports and nourishes the health of the community, celebrates the beauty and bounty of the environment, and engages the energy and ideas of the entrepreneur?

Along 5th Avenue the store frontage and retail bays are restored based on historic evidence and to reestablishing the pedestrian scale and connection to the street. The character of these spaces benefit from the 20-foot floor height and the exposed structure. Lightrail along 5th Avenue connects

TRIMMING OUT THE BOX

The Oregon Casket Building is a basic well constructed box, much like the caskets once produced within its walls. The under-taking of trimming out the box is now left to the living. The lofts are intended to be largely open with bathrooms and kitchens located to minimize distance from the service and circulation core. Mechanical systems in part utilize the original floor openings from the historic stair. New walls and volumes try to minimize engagement with the historic structure.

RESIDENTIAL LOFTS

With floor heights of 16-feet, 16-feet, and 12-feet respectively ,the upper floors are transformed to residential lofts, each benefiting from ample daylight. The core continues above the annex providing elevator and exit stair removed from the historic fabric. The core also functions to convey services and seismicly brace the historic structure. A secondary exterior emergency exit stair is attached to the back of the building. Like below, the former elevator becomes a daylight and ventilation atrium providing a unifying element in the building.

The building is organized in the style popularized in the 19th century with a vertical differentiation in base, shaft and capital. The base of the building, taller than the upper floor plates, is notable for its terra cotta tile finish and full height window openings. The second through fourth floors follow the horizontal pattern set at ground level, with equally sized openings marked by segmental arches. The capital, appearing to be about half the height of the base, has exposed brick that contrasts with the stucco of the floors below.

Changes in time:

Window openings were full height with large mullions, compared to smaller openings today

The inset east door has been replaced with aluminum doors.

The cornice detailing at the top of the ground floor in the original design has been covered over today.

The south entrance has a segmental arch and wood doors.

Unidentified feature at base of corner.

detailing on each corner of the building contrasts with the stucco finish, revealing the brick structure composing the mass of the exterior walls.

The buildings meet the urban edge with a generous sidewalk. A parking lot fills the north half of the site.

Recommendation 1: Catalogue and evaluate en-ergy consumption of all appliances and electronic devices. Potentially utilize plug meters or circuit meters. Consider cost-benefit of replacing specific devices or modifying use for greater efficiency.

Recommendation 2: Review lighting fixtures and lamping and associated usage. Consider cost-ben-efit of replacing often used fixtures with LED tech-nology or more efficient lamping.

Recommendation 3: Administer a blower-door test, infrared imaging or other measures to determine building air infiltration. Compare with code compli-ance and repair or augment where possible.

Recommendation 1: Catalogue and evaluate energy consumption of all appliances and electronic devices. Potentially utilize plug meters or circuit meters. Consider cost-benefit of replacing specific devices or modifying use for greater efficiency.

Recommendation 2: Review lighting fixtures and lamping and associated usage. Consider cost-benefit of replacing often used fixtures with LED technology or more efficient lamping.

Recommendation 3: Administer a blower-door test, infrared imaging or other measures to determine building air infiltration. Compare with code compliance and repair or augment where possible.
