My approach was to re-purpose the existing building, reconfigure the space by carving the program out of the cell walls. I created a visual journey for each funeral party to transition as the mourners pass through the main bays. The space transforms as the walls shift from narrow somber passage ways to wider and more expansive rooms. The semi-private, yet open plan of the ceremony halls, allows for the opportunity to make mourning a less solitary experience, while still giving room for each party to have their own ceremony and say goodbye with their loved ones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae2442e85ede10cdee5df22/1525974613663-TLSQSFG7DWCDBU63NTJ7/may+5+rendering+3.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae2442e85ede10cdee5df22/1527285931995-HWBT9DXMC5RT4MAAWXYR/Model+1+for+604.jpg Projects - Wall Section Designing the façade of a three story building, with balconies, parapet, sunshades and guardrail, afforded me an understanding of how the elements of construction drawings are coordinated to clearly describe a building project. The wall section and its related elevations, plans, and details provide a significant description of a building. Through developing this project, I developed a higher level of competence in the technical aspects of architectural design and improved my fluency with AutoCAD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae2442e85ede10cdee5df22/1553020596513-NRTW7A85QP4MGX0XOHLU/Dance+School+iNTERIOR+rENDERING+3-19-19.jpg Projects - Shifting Planes This project’s unique challenge was to design a dance studio, school and performance hall on a small lot on Stanton Street in San Francisco. The design challenge was to be open and inviting to the public, yet secure. Various spaces were designated as private (for school use), semi-private (visible) and public (for visitors). Two entrances and two elevator banks, on either side of the building, allow for the monitoring of users entering the private and public levels. The program includes a cafe, store, a performance hall, classrooms, locker rooms and support space. The store and cafe are situated on the ground level for public use. The auditorium is located on the highest floor to allow for views of the neighborhood and accessibility on one side by students, and on the other side by visitors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae2442e85ede10cdee5df22/378c7594-a3fe-40de-b30a-11f19d8b075e/Spratt+Street+Flyer.png Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae2442e85ede10cdee5df22/1562604324280-18IOHBU3E9IVYFE8PGPT/4-19-19+Rendering+1-A2+edira+7-8-19.jpg Projects - Nature's Community Classroom This thesis explores how the built environment can facilitate learning, inspire curiosity and engage students. The focus is on designing spaces that best support teaching practices and varied learning styles. Integrated building design can be used to foster effective teaching methods and sustainable learning habits. The site, Candlestick Point Park, provides opportunities for hands-on real-world activities and community involvement, which are central to this schools’ philosophy. The school is situated in the context of the natural environment as hands-on experiences and observations are integral across all subjects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae2442e85ede10cdee5df22/1787933445695-821O56OV3EX7SMKP87VQ/Food+Hub+Rendering.png Projects - Food Hub The approximately 8,200-square-foot Food Hub is part of Phase One of PCC’s Center for Educational and Agricultural Development and is being developed in partnership with 4P Foods. The facility is intended to support local farmers through food handling, packing, storage, and access to regional markets, strengthening CEAD’s broader role as an agricultural and economic development resource for Caswell County. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae2442e85ede10cdee5df22/1787891607214-SBTMKX55TLXF706XTFAZ/image-asset.png Projects - Interior Rendering of Swing Bay Lounge Interior rendering of the Swing Bay Lounge showing the relationship between the golf simulator bays and shared social space.
