The SCCLT is hoping to develop two units of moderate income “green” homes that will provide adequate living, sleeping, cooking and eating space for the residents of an average American family. The design should be flexible enough to accommodate as many living situations as possible, including aging-in-place, and may serve as a model for the development of future affordable housing in the Centre County Region. This project was completed in a team of three students over the course of one semester.

Our main idea was creating flexibility throughout the home, in order to adapt and change to the occupant’s needs. We designed modular, micro-homes arranged along a central greenhouse space that could be occupied by the owner or rented separately and generate rental income. The components contained operable walls that would allowing the homes to be either opened or closed to the central space, creating varying degrees of privacy based on the occupants of the home.

The system of modular components would allow for cheaper and faster prefabricated construction, and could be configured multiple ways for future SCCLT projects.

Brownsville is a historic town that lies along the Monongahela River in Western Pennsylvania and was once a booming industrial center built around boat manufacturing and transporting goods. Develop an urban idea for revitalizing Brownsville that includes a hotel, restaurant/retail/office block, and a landscaped park/plaza, taking the existing urban fabric into consideration. Choose either the hotel/guest complex or retail/restaurant/office complex for further development.

After a period of decline, Brownsville could renew its economy by promoting a tourism network with itself and similar cities, all connected by the river. The urban scheme is focused on the area around the Monongahela and Dunlap Creek, emphasizing water ways. A hotel, park, office/retail building, and kayak rental all frame the water, with both park spaces stepping down to the creek.

Hotel 443 is named after the first barge built in Brownsville by Hillman Barge Co. and the materials are reminiscent of the town’s booming past. The stereotomic, concrete base anchor’s the building to the site while the upper portion of steel and glass floats above, creating a modern industrial structure that looks toward the future.

The project brief was to design a history museum for the Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn, NY. The site falls between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges in the area known as DUMBO. The museum was to include large gallery spaces to display bridge artifacts and drawings. Support spaces such as a cafe, museum shop, and multipurpose or lecture spaces should also be included.

My design for the museum began with two interlocking, L-shaped pieces, one stereotomic and one tectonic. I used the concept of “yin-yang” for inspiration, or the idea that seemingly opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent.

Throughout design development, I worked with how one transitions between the two halves. As one follows the intended path through the museum, they are constantly passing through spaces that alternate between heavy and light. The “heavy “ spaces are characterized by a monolithic, carved stone appearance while the “light” spaces are characterized by ethereal, frosted glass boxes.

Design a house for a musician in Bald Eagle State Park, PA. Create a space that celebrates nature and building while incorporating rooms for music and living. The site should include a lap pool and semi-public amphitheater for small performances.

The main element of my house design was emphasis on movement through the site and the house. I achieved this through the used of two large concrete bearing walls, which anchor the house in the site while creating vertical movement for light, sound, and circulation.

The public program in the house falls on the “music level”, which includes the piano room and is connected to the other public element, the amphitheater, by a bridge. The stairs inside the walls allow vertical movement in the house, which becomes more private as you move up or down, away from the music level. Large curtain walls to allow views to the lake from the piano room and living spaces, while the concrete walls control light to the piano. Two long, vertical curtain walls within the concrete core to allow views across the landscape and light into the staircase.

The project brief was to build a unique geodesic sphere and design a facade for it that incorporates ideas of light and shadow. This project was completed with four other students.

Our sphere design began with a system of triangles, using different sizes and shapes in each row to account for the curvature of the sphere. For the facade we studied opacity versus transparency to create different shadow patterns. We offset the different triangle pieces on either side of the frame to give the sphere greater three dimensionality and allow more light to escape from the small gaps created by the offset.

The project was to design and build a piece of furniture out of recycled materials that fits the aesthetic of a specific room, and has two cat functions and one human function. The entire piece is made out of a door, 2 bedposts, and fabric from a second-hand store. The door was CNC routed to make the table top and side pieces, while the bedposts make the legs, and fabric was used for the cushion.

The table functions as a resting and hiding place for a cat as well as a side-table for humans. I wanted to create a piece of furniture that was attractive for humans and blended into the room, yet was comfortable for the cat. The room I chose has low, modern, dark wood furniture and a circular motif that I incorporated into the table surface.

These images were produced for a marketing brochure I created during an 11-week Summer Internship with PLAN Architectural Studio in Rochester, NY. The brochure and brewery concept design was created for a client looking to advertise the space to potential tenants.

The project was the adaptive reuse of an existing brick building located at the Rochester Public Market into a brewery. I worked directly with the client and firm principal on the concept design and independently produced the brochure and images shown.

The renderings were created with Revit and collaged in Adobe Photoshop. The section was drawn in AutoCAD and post-processed with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

The artwork on the following pages is a cross-section of work completed between 2010-2015 with a wide variety of mediums, including pen and ink, graphite, chalk pastel, and acrylic paint. Some images are more complete works of art while others are simply sketches and explorations. Drawing and painting has always been a personal interest of mine, and one that progressed to become my love of design and architecture.
