Gap, Inc.; Maumee, OH and Cincinnati, OH

I worked as a sales associate at the Gap in Cincinnati before transferring to Toledo in July of 2012. I also work with the visuals team, which does store layout and presentation of new products in an aesthetically appealing way.

West Carroll Architecture; Sylvania, OH

West Carroll is a single person firm, where I was able to work one-on-one with the owner, Kevin Carroll, on an expansion of the Aquarium at the Toledo Zoo. I also helped for a short period of time on a medical campus in Toledo, a residence outside of Boston and the restoration of a retail space in Seattle.

Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates; New York, NY

While in New York, I helped on several mixed-use towers located in China and Singapore. The towers were primarily residential or corporate with a shopping center in the podium. Personally, I did a lot of modelling in Rhino with Photoshop collaging on top of the renderings, as well as Autocad drawings during both the design and CD phase.

Kann Partners; Baltimore, MD

I was assigned to a variety of projects that ranged from portions of historic preservation projects, like Masonry Restoration at Baltimore City Hall and the Phillips Collection in Washington DC, to Construction Documents for various projects in Baltimore, Washington DC, and Albany, NY.

thamrin nine, jakarta indonesiaThamrin Nine is a mixed use building located in Jakarta that houses office space, retail, hotel, and residential. Next door to KPF’s proposed building is the existing UOB Building, which is somewhat unsightly. In order to make the outdoor spaces more enjoyable, I was given the task to design a living wall facade for the base of UOB. A grid was formed that had planters along exterior walkways creating both a privacy screen for users of UOB as well as an aesthetic screen of the UOB building itself.

The Phillips Collection, Washington D.C.The Phillips Collection, a prestigious art museum located near Dupont Circle in DC hired Kann Partners to study the damage and repair the materials on the exterior of the building. Much of the existing exterior masonry, slate, and copper on the facade of the building have started to deteriorate due to natural conditions like wind and water infiltration.

Kann Partners was hired to design, through multiple phases, a mixed use development that contains retail, housing, and parking. As an intern, I worked with the main designer of this project on one building of the development. The first phase of this building consisted of three levels of parking as well as some retail on the lower floor. The second phase extended the parking up another few floors as well as incorporating housing into the upper floors of the building. I was able to work on both the elevations as well as formulating different variations of unit layouts. The entire complex is aiming for LEED silver at completion.

Extreme arctic cultures are split into two very different lifestyle dynamics depending on the time of the year and the drastically different amounts of sunlight available. Because of this, winters are often accompanied by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression directly related to the amount of sunlight a person receives. It is theorized that by creating more social interactions in the winter and through the use of light therapy, the physical, mental, and emotional conditions of people affected by SAD could be more balanced year-round. This thesis explores whether, or how, an innovative building type (hybrid community center) and its architectural treatment can help mitigate the extreme climate, social/cultural, and psychological conditions associated with the far north community.

VARDØ, NORWAY 70°20’36”N, 30°51’17”E

The island of Vardø, Norway, one mile off of the coast of Northern Norway, is the only town in Western Europe in the arctic climatic zone. Vardo faces fifty-six days of full darkness each winter as a result of its northern location, which also causes an inability for most plants and trees to grow.

The building’s form creates an open courtyard that is protected from the windy site. This is a replacement for the town’s existing outdoor public space that receives too much wind and is no longer used

The entirely white courtyard, in contrast to the dark, burned wood of the rest of the facade, functions as a beacon for the town both during darkness and daylight

Pitched roof to respond to the context of the surrounding buildings and snow loads

Glulam arches that keep the structure open and welcoming and speak to the norwegian shipbuilding culture

Glass alcoves that function as planters on the inside, allowing Vardo to cultivate plants that are unable to grow outside

spring 2011 This studio was designed to be more theoretical and an opportunity to work on our graphic and diagrammatic skills. The first half of the studio was spent researching a topic of our choosing and producing quick, large, layered graphics that represented that research. The graphics were designed to resemble maps and the work of artists like James Corner, Perry Kulper, and Julie Mehretu. The beginning of each week was spent researching, and by the end of each week a 20” x 60” board was presented. The final half of the quarter was spent taking the research from the beginning and relating it to an architectural problem. I began by researching the melting ice at the north pole and Greenland in particular. For the final I looked specifically at New York City and how the melting of the poles would affect both the city’s infrastructure and future design.

This diagram is the basis for my final project of the quarter. I decided to look at one city in particular, New York, and what the rising water levels would mean for the city’s infrastructure. The different series of dots represents the water level if Greenland were to melt, if Western Antarctica were to melt, and finally if Eastern Antarctica were to melt, in comparison with important structures in New York City. Obviously any of these situations would change the way coastal cities function.

Winter and spring 2010 In order to create a wellness center in the middle of the Cranbrook campus- an oasis among the busy heart of the academy- first a connection between the public campus and the more private natural site was sought. Through programmatic separation a central courtyard was generated to invite the community onto the site while opening it out to nature. In each of the four buildings a buffer space on the interior separates the private spaces from the public courtyard. Different methods of application for concrete, wood, and light showcase the natural beauty of the materials in the simple, orthogonal boxes that house them. This allows the four separate buildings to be unified as a whole among the brick buildings that compose the majority of Cranbrook’s campus.

Summer 2009In Copenhagen, as it is located near so much water, many people partake in recreational kayaking. Given a site located at the intersection of two canals in Christianshavn, a small town on an artificial island off of the southern tip of Copenhagen, we were assigned to design a new kayak club. Part of the challenge was to incorporate aspects of the Scandinavian lifestyle as well as areas to be used during the cold, dark winter months. When given this project, I decided that I wanted my main focus to be on different ways of bringing sunlight into the interior spaces. Because sunlight and how it is used are so important in this Northern climate, my plan was to incorporate many different kinds of lighting. These different options also have different affects on what a person can view; either opening up huge expanses to the eye, just giving a glimpse of the sky, or even cutting off views to the outside altogether. I wanted to take this opportunity while studying in a country where every drop of sunlight has to be taken advantage of to study the different ways to light a space.

Summer 2008Assignment: To design a structure either fully or partially submerged in water that solves a problem while addressing issues attributed to underwater construction.

PROBLEM STATEMENTAs of right now, there isn’t very much known about tsunamis. Through studying this phenomenon, it might be possible to learn the answers to some of the many questions plaguing scientists- both about tsunamis and earthquakes.

Why do only some earthquakes cause tsunamis?

How can people be alerted to threats soon enough to get to safety?

PlatesReported TsunamisPacific Rim

Location : off of the coast of the Philippines On the Northwestern fringes of the Ring of Fire There are numerous active and inactive volcanoes Some twenty earthquakes are measured daily, though not all are strong enough to be felt

PlatesReported TsunamisPacific Rim

STATEMENT OF SOLUTION

To design an underwater research station where seismologists and scientists who study tsunamis can work together with the best equipment possible to learn about tsunamis.

Winter 2008Given a site in Cincinnati, we were to research the area, which happened to be across the street from the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Then we were to design a low-income housing development. The main point stressed during this project was that low-income does not mean ugly or un-designed. I chose to design a loft-style house with terraced yards so each person had their own sense of ownership to the space.
