SR Bales ConstructionLaborer

Nikiski Senior CenterIn the summer of 2012 I had the opportunity to work as a laborer with SR Bales Construc-tion, erecting this senior center. This project was especially exciting due to the variety of construction systems employed. The primary volume is framed with heavy timber. Above ground walls are formed by pre-fabricated structural insulated panels, and the basement bearing walls were built using insulated con-crete forms. The systems employed resulted in a remarkably tight building with exceptionally low heat loss.

Lynden Transport Terminal and OfficesI conducted a preliminary LEED feasability study during the early schematic design for this project. I also assisted the architect in generating specifications and fenestra-tion selection.

Galena Senior Residence and Community CenterThis project was well into construction when I worked with LH Peek. I had the opportunity to visit the jobsite with the architect, where I helped document progress and prepared images and diagrams for a client update package.

Otis ConstructionApprentice Project Supervisor Upon graduating, I spent the 9 months working for Otis Construction, a general contracting firm specializing in high-end residential remodels, new homes, and light commercial construction in and around Portland, Oregon. They are a tenacious group of individuals whose committment to customer service and attention to detail is unparallelled.

In my time with Otis, I had the pleasure of working on almost a dozen active projects, contributing and growing my skills in hands-on carpentry as well as supervisory tasks such as shop drawing review, material take-offs, layout, and construction document conflict checks.

As a student of architecture I am continually amazed at how much ingenuity and creative problem-solving is required to realize the vision of a building. Transforming drawings into homes is a process rife with hazard, but also full opportunities for craftsmanship and true artisanship. While reviewing the structural and assembly details of an acoustically sealed room, I recognized that with a few modifications, the room would perform better and be more easily constructed Rendering courtesy of Scott Edwards Architecture

This project represents a vigilant effort to deliver maximum value on an extremely tight budget. In a design-build partnership with Criterion General, RIM Architects developed a design that accommodates substantial future growth, expands the current offerings of the german immersion school, and integrates with the Anchorage School District’s operations and standards, while adhering to stringent budgetary requirements and construction schedule limitations inherent to the project.

My roles in this project included extensive coordination with mechanical, electrical, and structural subcontractors as we assembled our conformed set. I also assisted with in-depth code study to ensure that egress and life-safety requirements were met for the 800+ occupant load.The images on this page were used to aid in communication of the design to the project stakeholders and for internal development of key communal spaces.

RIM Architects - Rilke Schule

Conveniently located in midtown Anchor-age’s industrial warehouse district, the new

building at A Street and 64th Avenue offers both office space and lay-down yard in a beau-tiful creekside setting. Designed to be a func-tional, state of the art multi-tenant building, it features a large Conference Center on the first

The exterior design aesthetic emphasizes the building’s raw construction materials. At the entryway to the building, a board formed concrete wall set at an angle guides the way along the entry walkway, with large angled glulam columns and beams forming an impressive and modern overhead canopy. The rest of the exterior is comprised of a metal panel skin with simple clean ribbon window glazing on all sides of the building, allowing enriching natural light into the interior spaces. Interior color palettes blend high-tech and modern industrial aesthetics with durability and practicality, creating a warm, professional and clean design sense appropriate for any potential tenant.

The office building was designed and constructed using sustainable principles. The exterior envelope is comprised of insulated metal panel and triple pane glazing to provide an efficient building skin that will keep the building occupants comfortable and require less energy to heat and cool the building. All lighting throughout the public spaces uses LED fixtures, which require less electricity. Heating and cooling are derived from a ground source heat pump using a network of underground piping in an on-site field.

floor, available for tenants and the general pub-lic. All tenant areas have access to natural light and views for enhanced worker productivity and pleasant work environment. The parking area and main entry of the building are located on the north side, easily visible from the vehicle en-trance onto the property. The east side of the site

abuts Campbell Creek with stunning and unob-structed views of the creek, wooded areas, and a wide stretch of the Chugach Mountain range. The building’s site at the bluffed-edge of the in-dustrial district blends convenient location with unique access to views of Alaska’s grandeur not typically found in industrial settings.

Davis Constructors Offi ce Building

AIDEA Headquarters Extensive remodelThe Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority’s current building at the intersection of Northern Lights and Arctic Boulevard is no longer suitable for the organization’s operations. I as-sisted a project architect in generating a large study addressing the feasability of stripping the existing building down to its skeleton and building it back up with modern, fl exible space planning and effi cient exterior fi nish systems.My primary contributions were facade design, and rendering generation. The entire deliverable document was built in Revit, permitting us to make substan-tial adjustments to the design right up to print-time with almost no wasted effort.

Davis constructors and Engineers ap-proached RIM architects in the spring of 2014 proposing that we partner to design and build a new campus for their com-bined operations with Mass Excavation. The project was executed in great haste, with an occupancy deadline of March 2015. The offi ce building (rendering be-low) features tenant space and a large conference room on the ground fl oor. The upper fl oors are utilized as Davis’ new headquarters. The interior aesthetic is raw and transparent, featuring dunnage walls constructed from pallets recovered onsite, heavy timber interior elements, and ex-posed, color-coded building systems.

Stre

etA6591 I headed up construction administration on this project, working closely with Davis to resolve issues as they came up in the fi eld. Because of the tight delivery date and sub-sequent deferred drawings, I had opportu-nities to perform a lot of detail and interior design during the course of the construc-tion project. My largest single design contribution to the project was an internal circulation stair between the 2nd and 3rd fl oors. Very custom in nature, it features the triangular Davis logo in each tread, and cantilevers out over the main work area on the 2nd fl oor, tying in to the heavy steel framing of the building to achieve a sense of levity.

How can architecture support the creative and economic aspirations of a community of entrepreneurs

Today’s passion-driven hobbyists breed many of tomorrow’s small businesses. Stemming from the “Maker” movement, and enabled by technology, industrious hobbyists are leading a new generation of enrepreneurs who sit at the confluence of technological, economic, and social trends. By all accounts they are ready to stand and turn their passion into product. All they lack are the facilities and business-support services to help them develop and deploy their ideas.

The low-hanging fruit of product design lies in cross-field collaborative design. The most competitive, highest quality products are designed by teams with diverse skill sets and brought to life by individuals skilled in the manipulation and assembly of a variety of materials. This project aspires to be a place that provides amenities that make this collaborative, fabrication intensive design process viable and natural. This is a place where designers are put in close contact with the means of production, and where these means can be shared with a larger community of hobbyists and students.

A Not-so-big City HallEugene, ORThe City of Eugene’s current city hall facilities are not seismi-cally sound or energy efficient. To address the need for offices and council chamber, this project proposes demolishing the existing, obsolete city hall and constructing a new facility with bright, open office space and street-oreiented council cham-ber. The major tectonic definition of the building is formed by light wells that permit natural light into the offices while also providing passive ventilation and acting as manifolds for the ground-source heat pump hydronic system.

The University of Oregon is in need of additional student lodging facilities and academic lecture and classroom spaces. This project provides auditoria, office spaces, and a cafeteria in the plinth, with 550 student residence rooms in the tower. A primary design consideration was addressing the Johnson axis, which runs East-West through the heart of campus. Additionally, special effort was taken in designing the enclosure system of the dorm rooms for rapid construction.

CTStudent Rooms

repeated nature of the residence tower lends itself to standardized, pre-fabricated components. The unitized wall assembly consists of enclosure, shading structures, and interior cabinetry mounted to an aluminum frame, and fastened to the fl oor slabs in a manner similar to unitized curtain wall systems. This component can be manufactured off-site and installed (quickly and safely) via crane to form the exterior enclosure and interior fi nish of the residence rooms.

This structural inquiry explores using connection design to achieve striking spatial qualities. Verification calculations were performed for each connection in the roof design, accounting for wind and snow loads.The geometry of the primary structure arose from investigations of curved laminated wood. This timber roof takes advantage of the expresive possibilities afforded by engineered wood, Bracing each pair of glulams is a truss composed of simply connected lapped members which restrain and mitigate some of the bending forces in the assembly. The global system behaves as a three-pin arch, allowing for a continuous skylight at the ridge.

This competition asked students from around the world to use strategies found in nature to address issues related to water access and management. My team chose to focus on the Willamette river, an urban waterway in Portland, Oregon. This channellized waterway is at present a homogeneous microhabitat with few ecological niches and a truncated food-chain, in stark contrast to natural channel sections, which have a variety of widths, depths, substrates and velocities that produce a well developed riffl e and pool sequence conducive to inhabitation by aquatic species. Dense urban developments have stripped rivers of their natural riparian habitats. Basing our approach on the aerodynamics of birds at the individual and fl ock scales, we designed a dock which supports inhabitation by both humans and wildlife.

riffl e run pool

We propose a dock that creates a variety of fl ow conditions at multiple scales. These diverse conditions are conducive to more abundant life and a more complete riparian ecosystem. We arrange the dock system to emulate the conditions of the riffl e, the pool, and the run, as found in undistrubed streams. This design attempts to install a greater diversity of physical and biotic conditions in order to provide a more multi-dimensional environment for plants and animals, bringing the stream into the city
