DESCRIPTION
Undergraduate PortfolioTRANSCRIPT
Design begins with two standard shipping containers, 20’x8’x8’ and 40’x8’x8’
2” Panelized Insulative Cladding
Individual Rooms and Common Spaces
Water Catchment Cisterns
Circulation Cores and Stairs
Corrugated Steel Shipping Container
Wall Radiant Cooling Pipe Interior Plaster Wall
Overhead Radiant Cooling Pipe
Five room types and a circulation core are created from the two container sizes
Santorini Vernacular Precedent Studies
Ten room blocks are then arranged and connected
by a circulation core
Rooms are then covered with panelized insulative
cladding and glazing
TAP Santorini CompetitionProblem: To design a sustainable, forward thinking hotel on the island of Santorini that attempts to solve the problems of modern hotels and can be applied elsewhere.Solution:Solution: e island of Santorini is known for its nautical history, characteristic architecture, and stunning views. While modern hotels often impose new forms against history, the proposal seeks to blend in with the island’s stacked dwellings. Shipping containers, built to be shipped, stacked and survive the sea, form a module to cling to the cliff. Unlike other hotels, the varied arrangement of modules allows for a unique, individual experience for each guest. e stacked nature of units not only mimics the ancient vernacular but also allows for better thermal performance in the hot climate. Cisterns collect rain water to be cooled underground before being pumped through each containers corrugated walls to cool the collect rain water to be cooled underground before being pumped through each containers corrugated walls to cool the hotel’s rooms.

Shell Beach Cylinder HouseProblem: To create a custom home with a unique form on a steep, slender site overlooking Shell Beach.SolutionSolution: Design began with the study of a series of found material models. A cylindrical form was selected due to its unique structural strength and opportunity for space. Moving forward the design process was based heavily on the cre-ation of large scale models. ese models allowed for the exploration of spatial opportunities present with modulated cyl-inders. Layered and open spaces intermingle as the cylinders spread down the hillside, providing a varied array of views. e form allows for easy venting of hot air and convenient mechanical spaces. Each cylinder is surrounded by a second, perforated skin to reduce heat gain. Rain water runs down the cylindrical forms and collects at their bases in cisterns.perforated skin to reduce heat gain. Rain water runs down the cylindrical forms and collects at their bases in cisterns.
