This community pool was designed for Carondelet park in St. Louis. This park is of a romantic styling which is

signified through the rolling landscape, wandering paths and the use of trees. The Pool attempts to incorporate

this landscape and has evolved to provide a large public space on its roof. This space is marked by skylights

to provide light into the pool and sculptural lattices to support plant growth.

The Plaza Del Carmine is currently a square devoted to parking in Florence. This project aims to repurpose the plaza into a site for a film institute which would include

multiple theaters, an archival library as well as retail and restaurant space. The proposal seeks to create an environment which is reminiscent of the old Florentine

streets by encouraging people to wander, explore and discover. The layout uses the programmatic

areas to create negative space that varies is scale and encourages specific views of the surrounding area.

The purpose of this project was to create a temporary shelter space in which scientists could study a

phenomena of nature. This shelter is located to assist scientists with studying and focusing sounds of the

forest while impacting the environment as little as possible.

The Live-Work-Show project was enisioned as a place where two artists could work on piece, live and also show their work. The response to this chalenge was to create a building which emphasizes a visual, connectivity between these aspects, The Building is

physically separated by a courtyard between the public gallery and more private working and living areas.

However, visual connectivity is maintianed in order to provide inspiration and the ability for the artists to play off of each other’s work. Additionally variations in materiality and floor heights provide a division between more open

and closed aspects of the artists’ private lives.

This studio provided an introduction into artistic representation using multiple techniques. It culminated in a piece which was created over multiple weeks of a constantly changing wooden structure. The interaction

between those creating the structure and those documenting spawned an infinitely collaborative process

and unique outcomes.

The D & MF Residence by Studio Durham was completed with Sara Dusenberry and was used to further

understand the building systems.

The Study of the Zollverein School by SANNA, created in conjuction wih Chris Riley, was to assist with a

presentation before visiting the building.

The Marika-Alderton House by Glenn Murcutt was a more in depth study to focus on some of the sustainable

features of the design as well as its relation to its site.

This home is designed for a Danish family within the modern Ørestad neighbourhood of Copenhagen. It

recognizes the Dane’s love for the outdoors as well as the strong dichotomy between their private and public

lives. The home provides an area for beloved dinner parties and public and private outdoor space while being

mindful of a preference for simplistic design.
