SchoolS of interaction

thiS elementary School waS Produced for an american inStitute of architecture StudentS comPetition. the Project required a leed certified building that uSed kawneer aluminum ProductS, and reSPonded to the choSen Site, community, and climate.

the SchoolS of interaction deSign blurred the lineS between the outSide and inSide, and incorPorated nature within the School. allowing StudentS to interact with nature and including daylighting mechaniSmS were Primary deSign StrategieS uSed to increaSe Student Productivity. indiStinct layerS of nature throughout the building and itS SurroundingS allow the School to grow organically out of itS Site.

PriSm muSeum

Starting off with a raw-land Site, the muSeum for the advancement of motion PictureS and Parking garage were to be deSigned with reSPect to energy efficiency, a working Structural SyStem, a working hvac SyStem.

my inSPiration for the muSeum came from PuShing and Pulling rectangular PriSmS into and out of a uniform body to Produce a deconStructiviSt exterior that emulateS Structural exPreSSioniSm. energy efficiency waS addreSSed through PaSSive Solar orientation, natural daylighting, and SuStainable hvac deSign. the muSeum SucceSSfully advanceS motion PictureS with itS outdoor wraP-around lcd Screen.

the goal of thiS Project waS to deSign a Site-SPecific, energy-efficient building for a Small engineering firm that Provided oPtimal viewS and took advantage of natural cooling and lighting mechaniSmS.

PaSSive Solar orientation waS imPlemented to decreaSe energy uSage and increaSe natural daylighting. the moSt Prominent feature of thiS building iS the SerieS of Structural beamS in the lobby area act aS both lateral reSiStance, and alSo aS a unique architectural centerPiece that enhanceS light and Shadow Play.

the ShaPe of the tower iS an inverted-truncated Pyramid, which iS counter intuitive in a SeiSmic Situation due to it’S toP-heavineSS. therefore, the unique architectural exoSkeleton widenS the baSe and helPS Provide reSiStance againSt Shear and lateral loadS by increaSing Structural caPacity. when Paired with the internal core, the exoSkeleton createS an overall aPPearance of a twiSting building without the internal Structural comPlicationS of a twiSt.

Power benSon reSidence remodel

the ownerS of thiS reSidence decided to renovate their exiSting home that overlookS the water by adding an additional floor to accommodate a new maSter bedroom and bathroom.

PrentiSS architectS created a luxuriouS maSter bedroom and bathroom Suite with individual cloSetS, and a balcony hot tub. the old kitchen waS gutted and oPened uP for better circulation on the firSt floor. the Predominant deSign tactic waS the SerieS of windowS that retained Privacy while allowing a clear view to the Seattle Sound.

located in alaSka, the exiSting weathered 500 Sq. ft. home overlooked calm water for mileS. dr. Peter rice decided to demoliSh the old building and rePlace it with a home that catered to the view. due to the extreme climate, eaSy maintenance of the home waS crucial to the deSign.

PrentiSS architectS initially deSigned the new home with a butterfly roof, but due to Severe weather concernS, oPted for a more traditional roof. natural lighting and view oPtimiZation waS accomPliShed via a north-facing glaSS facade and SkylightS throughout the home.

introverted retrofit

after enduring a year of on-going conStruction in their home with a PreviouS architect, the clientS hired PrentiSS architectS to moderniZe their unconventional area. a toP-to-bottom remodel emPhaSiZed Privacy, SPace allocation, and circulation.

PrentiSS architectS reSPonded by oPening uP the living area, Strategically Placing windowS to enhance daylighting yet eliminating noSey neighborS, and redeSigning all the SPaceS for a more coheSive aPPearance from room to room.

the clientS own a gueSt cottage adjacent to their exiSting home. in thiS remodel, the clientS oPted to add a Second Story to their cottage to allow for a tight bedroom.

PrentiSS architectS deSigned an oPen floorPlan on the 1St floor by eliminating a bedroom, adding a walk-in Pantry, and firePlace, and creating a built-in Set of bookShelveS that doubleS aS a work SPace. the Second floor waS deSigned to be a Small maSter bedroom and bathroom with a full tub and firePlace in the SleePing area

canvaS recreationS

after exPloring many different mediumS, i began to uSe oil PaStelS more So than any other medium. i enjoy working on canvaS comPared to PaPer or card Stock, due to the PhySical effort involved in hand-rubbing the PaStelS into the canvaS.

deciding which PieceS of art to recreate iS a combination of technique, line, color, and general aPPearance of the original art work. while recreating art, i try to mimic the Same technique, excePt with oil PaStelS, which are notably more robuSt than other fine-tiPPed mediumS. i rub and mix the oil PaStelS by hand directly on a canvaS, uSing different ‘fingerStrokeS’ to imitate the original techniqueS.
