The goal of this project was to design a community oriented space that fosters collaboration, growth, and performance. The design of the space embraces these characteristics through its inspiration of DNA. Each person that interacts with the space has their own identity, but when these identities interact with each other, collaboration is the result. The space includes open offices, collaborative project rooms, private enclaves, and technology rich areas to create zones of collaboration, socialization and individualization.

SAMSUNG KIOSKFOURTH YEAR | AUTOCAD | SKETCHUP | ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE

The Samsung Kiosk is a project in collaboration with Inje University based in Busan, South Korea. As a team, we selected an experienced and renowned architect. Our team selected Tadao Ando for the inspiration of this design. Tadao Ando values simplicity, creative use of natural light, interplay of solid and void, and the use of light and dark. We created a design where the user would have an innovative, interactive experience that blended the values of Tadao Ando and Samsung as well as user comfort. In this project, my main responsibilities were assisting in conceptual development, drawing the elevations, anthropometric data, and some material research.

mkb boutique hotel & RestaurantTHIRD YEAR | REVIT | AUTOCAD | ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE

For this team project, we were to design a boutique hotel and restaurant located in Manhattan, KS. We were able to brand and design the space and menu based on Manhattan clientele. The design inspiration came from creating a more modern form of the traditional brewery. mKb abstracts the patterning of wheat making geometric forms to develop spatial organization. The second portion of this project was to create a full set of construction documents as well as a furnishes, fixtures and equipment packet and budget sheet.

The objective of this project was to design a pediatrics clinic that will create a worry-free, bright spirited environment for kids and their families. This was done by incorporating the concept of hot-air balloons. The spatial organization of the design uses a centralized reception desk with other areas radiating out like how the hot air balloon is pieced together. Bold, graphic patterns are used throughout the space to create a more playful environment and a complementary color scheme is used throughout symbolizing dusk and dawn.
