Views from site

The Squirrel Cove restaurant is a to- be built project designed by Allen + Maurer Architects. The restaurant represents an important step towards fi nancial stability for the Klahoose First Nation, a Coast Salish tribe who own the land where the building is to be erected.

For this interpretation of the scheme provided by Allen + Maurer, the basic footprint and profi le of the building were respected and served as inspiration for site placement, orientation, facade and interior design, as well as guidance for an overall site plan including auxiliary buildings.

Portland Site Forces

Site Forces:

• Park Block Terminus

• Proximity to City Center

• Southern Access to Sunlight

The building massing was developed to capture light and transform it, so that all who enter the space would be enveloped by sacred light. Preliminary massing investigations were made with many small models and the use of a class site model.

Study Models as Meansto Lighting Effect

Preliminary visions of the grand space were rendered in charcoal to communicate the experiential qualities of the space. Later, the daylighting was tested using physical and computer models.

The building contains four memorial gardens. The Mourning garden, shown here, formed an important processional space to a small memorial chapel.

On the south side of the building is the Chapel of Light. This small memorial chapel lies on axis with a garden beyond. Water from a fountain in this garden fl ows through the chapel, and eventually fl ows down the front of the facade as a solemn reminder of the neverending march of mortality and the ever renewing cycle of life.

Re-envesioning an Addition to the Mercer Museum

Doylestown, PA

In 1916, Henry C. Mercer erected a six story concrete castle to house his collection of handmade working objects that the industrial revolution had rendered obsolete. By his vision and determination, the story of the artisan culture has been preserved in this museum.

This project envisions an expansion of Mercer’s original museum. Mercer was a gentleman archaeologist who did extensive exploration and mapping of ceremonial caves in Mexico. His experiences there had a strong influence upon his design of the museum. With this in mind, the addition was envisioned as an archaeological dig, where the patron enters below the original structure and emerges in the grand atrium of the original structure.

At the crossroads of the Expo and Millennium lines, the Commercial Broad way station is the busiest in Vancouver. The task was to design an iconic station, like the ones on the Millennium line, that would expand the existing program and remain a viable solution through the 2040 predictions of rider needs.

The two major site forces were the views of Vancouver Island to the northwest and sunlight from the south. The station and master plan were devised to take advantage of both while maintaining a coherent block structure and street face.

Work Shop Renovation

Eugene OREntry Awning Project

When moving to Eugene to attend architecture school I put in an ad on Craig’s List offering to triad work for rent. Surprisingly, the idea worked out, and I have remodeled a wood shop into a rent-able apartment.

One of the components of this was building an awning over the front door which is shown here.

Work Shop Renovation

Eugen ORBathroom Vanity and Sink Project

The sink was constructed from plywood, carved, and covered in a marine grade epoxy.

All wood in vanity was reclaimed from other projects. The only new material in the process was the 250 lb. concrete counter top.

I believe that beautiful objects come about through beautiful processes, and that the art of making a de-sign is just as important as the design itself. Therefore, working with my hands has always been an important part of my life. I love to create, to build, and to sculpt. When I am able to build my own designs I fi nd that work absolutely invigorating as well as deeply educa-tional and fulfi lling. My goal as a designer is to reveal beauty that unfolds through the process of creating, and I hope that the making of my designs will add to the beauty, life, and vitality of the world around them.
