design is the method of expressing ourselves as we expeience
the world around us. it should respond to and elevate its context,
for ultimately it is our contribution to our culture as human beings.
My passion is to design inspired, thoughtful, meaningful, and
functional works that create an authentic connection with people
through careful implementation of elements and concepts unique
to each projects circumstances, resulting in design that is truly
meaningful to our culture and may ultimately transcend time.

Problem solving through design is my passion. As a student pursuing my masters in
architecture and historic preservation, I have been able to explore the many facets
of designing for our built environment. My years at design school have allowed
me to develop a variety of new skills as well as build upon and redevelop skills
from my previous experience as a high performance coaching specialist, enabling
me to methodically, collaboratively and enthusiastically take a design from start
to finish. Collaboration, leadership, organization and planning are inherent to my
work ethic and have always inspired a desire to investigate, research and learn.
This has kept every endeavor exciting, especially in a constantly evolving world,
where it is important to use those tools to evolve and adapt with the environment.
It is this adaptiveness that brought me into the world of architecture in the first
place. Though I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a tennis professional, a life-
changing injury allowed me the opportunity to re-examine my goals. I explored
the possibility of returning to school, but not back to the traditional track that I
had been on through undergrad. Instead, the idea of architecture school excited
me, as it was a new and different type of challenge, one where I could use skills
that I never had a chance to previously. After enrolling and completing a couple
of courses at the local community college, I decided to take a chance and go
for my new dream. As a result, I am now graduating with two masters degrees
and a passion for design that I could have never imagined existed before.

the success of historic bui ldings l ies in their adaptabil i ty. the materials and building methods used produce long l i fecyles of a shell that can be changed to suit the current or future needs of a community. upon re-use, adaptabil i ty of the structure tends to become a catalyt ic force
that encourages growth, activation and development around it.
what does this mean for the preservation in the future?
if adaptabil i ty is what makes a bui lding most relevant to our culture, then preservation must f irst consider how the space is to be made most useful for the modern society. this reseach wil l be unique to every building and context. successful reaseach wil l involve the community, careful anaylsis of the locations needs and current stock, as well potential posit ive and negative impact on the neighborhood. while there are many addit ional catagories, the prel iminary research noted above are primary investigations that wil l help guide and produce a community suppor ted preservation plan. when successful, the new l i fe of the building wil l suddenly ignite a catalyt ic effect that wil l encourage usage, appreciation, and new development. with historical bui ldings leading the way, new development has a reason to exist. this layering of mult iple decades of bui lding creates a r ichness and
uniquness to a city that becomes our culture.
by studying building typology over the years, it becomes clear that the reason many historic bui ldings are more adaptable is their inherent green-ness. while it may be a more expensive bui lding method in todays society, it is cer tainly more responsible to bui ld with the long-term l i fe cycle fo the bui lding in mind. perhaps the future of our bui lding methods becomes a modern take on the past. materials, scale and passive design can resur face in new construction, creating a long-lasting mark in our society that wil l be treasured in the future.

saint jamesDenver is not static, but ever changing; it is not its past nor its present, but an
evolution of time. An urban hotel addition to a historic building should represent
a process of continually becoming something new as it evolves with the city.
To participate in the local places and economy is to allow both the visitor and
the local to take part in a piece of Denver more interactive and lasting that
ones typical business trip allows. This will be accomplished with a program
which will promote interactions between locals and visitors and provide
visitors with a familiar home in an unfamiliar city. Visitors can then understand
Denver by its architecture, environs, and people, in a place propelled by and
for the locals. Framed views and change interactions capturing Denvers
layers of evolution allows the locals relationship with the city to contribute
to the formation of an authentic relationship for the visitor with the city.

Layers of Denver, Colorado
Layers of Curtis Street
site analysis
Careful analysis of the many facets of denver were accomplished by mapping. In order to capture the past, present and future of Denver as it relates to design, we decided to study two very specific forms of analysis. the first was a series of figure grounds (top photo on adjacent page), each from a different year: 1860, 1930, 1975 and current. As we built our figure ground, it became clear that denver was a series of layers, that is, changes over time that were affected by culture, industry, economics and technology. Our second analysis was of the everyday street perspective in which our project is located, Curtis Street, aslo known as the historical Great White Way and current day Theatre District. This concept model bottom photo on adjacent page) is a series of ordinary photos taken over two blocks down curtis street. Historical imagery was then overlayed in specific photos to get a better picture of how the street is today and how it has changed over time.

Analysis of the broad context of denver and its layers led to more specific studies that were conducted to help decide on the most advantageous program for our design. Since our intentions were to create a place for both the local and visitor, we decided to program the street level with something that was an everyday necessity for the everyday denver local. Building types and uses within a 1/2 and full mile radius were examined. It became clear that while there were many people working and living downtown, there was a great scarcity of grocery stores. Infact, only one existing grocery store was available at the mile radius and zero at the half mile radius. With this informative analysis, we decided to program the street level of St James first and foremost as a market with flexible work zones and hotel programs on subsequent floors.

not to scale
In the true spirit of an evolving city, this urban hotel does not stand alone as a
new piece of construction, but it is an addition to an existing historic structure.
We aim to show Denver as a product of evolution over time, continually
formed by its environment, inhabitants, and even its visitors. The market in the
lower level of our hotel will be able to change with the city and its demands
over time. Our retail spaces will feature products intended to feed the local
economy, allowing the transient dweller the opportunity to make a lasting
impact on their temporary home. Eating spaces feature ingredients sourced
from local farms and industries to allow the visitor to gain an understanding
of Denver through taste over the personal experience of sharing a meal.
This will provide a convenient and necessary intersection between locals
and visitors and cultivate rich and authentic experiences. Like the city of
Denver, our urban hotel addition is not to mimic something of the past, but
it is a task to contribute to Denvers process of becoming something new.

program
The program will first and foremost provide an active public market where
visitors and locals can feel equal ownership. Approach extends from beyond
the built condition to allow for the opportunity for locals and visitors to pause
and experience the building in its urban context. The journey draws the visitors
through the interior, beginning with a directed path through an undirected
public use space to a greeting area and an opportunity to shed business
accoutrements, immediately indicating that the visitor has arrived home. The
path through the hotel toward guest rooms is edged by business and work
zones to encourage the intersection of both guests and staff. Unique temporal
urban conditions may guide movement while views capturing Denvers
evolution and essence may encourage pause. In this way, the guest room is
only approached through a growing understanding of Denver, where finally
framed views of the city draw the visitor to unique understandings of the impact
Denvers people, environs, architecture, and layers has on its identity. This program
provides the local with a lively, functional necessity while also providing
the guest with a contemporary contextual awareness that encourages the
visitor to further explore Denver beyond this experience, and form a lasting
relationship with the city.
architecture: comprehensive studiospring 2015
urban hotel addition
Multiple timelines represent the formation of our urban
site at Curtis Street and 16th Street including original dedication of site to
the theater district, the demolition and rebuilding of the city, the evolution of
building styles over generations, the changing of the seasons, or the weather
over the course of the day. While the local may be aware of the defining
layers of Denver, Denver is presented to the business traveler in isolated
snapshots of appointments in business offices, catered meals in lobbies, a
company sponsored happy hour, or a quick walk or ride to the next meeting.
Most of the transient dwellers understanding of Denver is developed from an
impersonal and non- interactive visit, leaving little impact on the visitor or on
Denver. We believe that even the business visitor ought to be able to form a
relationship with their temporary home. We believe the visitor ought to
understand what and who Denver is through a series of moments and conditions
that are strung together to create an ever-evolving city. In this way, we intend
to allow the visitor to take part in a piece of Denver that is larger than the
moment, and give Denver a hotel that is true to its context, where both locals
and visitors can belong.
In order to create an experience of Denvers layers to both the visitor and the
local, the architectural design was intentionally created to become a backdrop
for the urban environment. The main structure is a simple concrete mass wall
that serves as a comforting, ancient-style structural layer while also helping
to control temperature swings to maintain an ambient atmosphere. The
mass wall portrays the permenance of place; the contribution of a permenant
structure to Denver as well as a permenant home for locals and visitors. A
double glass facade outfitted with transparent led screens creates a second
and third set of layers in which images and videos can be projected to create
experiences where pedestrians and hotel guests can understand Denvers as
an evolution over time. The temporal quality of the images conveys the sense
of change. When paired with the permanent quality of the mass wall, the
overall composition becomes a complex portrayal of the city of Denver itself.

coho residentialWithin the new vision for sun valley, an urban neighborhood in denver,
colorado, lies an opportunity to redesign and reimagine spaces. Taking the
idea of shared spaces, collaboration, and an understanding of interstitial
areas created by buildings becomes a main driver of the deisgn; resulting
in plans that enhance, reinvigorate and support the community around it.
It is essential for every master plan to have a functional, utilitarian
building. for this particular plan, the parking garage is that building.
Though its main purpose is to serve as a central place to park cars, the
final design not only embraces this function, but adds flexible spaces and
co-housing in order to support and engage the neighborhood at large.
coho residential
architecture: advanced studiofall 2014
master plan
The vision of coho residential was to remain cognisant and sensitive of its context
while also embracing the future plans designated from the city of denver. currently,
sun valley neighborhood is a mix hub housing, warehouses and light industrial
structures. Future plans for the neighborhood include the development of a main
street, a recently opened lightrail station that connects it directly to downtown,
and rezoning that will encourage densification. This particular location has been
called an employment t.o.d., a new zoning term that has yet to be defined.
Our task as a group was to help define what an employment t.o.d. may
look like for the future of denver. the solution was a mix of employment,
educational, retail + residential development where current residents could
attain jobs while affording to continue living in their beloved neighborhood.
coho residential
program
Coho Residential was originally programmed to serve as the cornerstone
essential building within the master plan. A parking garage was a necessity for
the success of the adjacenct buildings. While a parking garage was the main
function of Coho, it was important to make more than just a parking garage.
With flexible design, the parking garage can turn into a place for food trucks
and vendors to park and create a market alley with the adjacent building.
Perforations in the structure additionally provide natural daylighting, air
ventillation as well as night lighting to external paths when lit from the inside.
Cohousing was then placed on the subsequent floors as a means to
provide affordable housing to current neighborhood members that
may have been misplaced during the rezoning and rebuilding of the
neighborhood. The ultimate goal of these two programs helps build a
community within an urban context that is accessible to a variety of people.

some assembly requiredDetroit, Michigan has seen the rise and decline of the automotive industry , all of
which have had a direct imact on the population and economy of the city. One of
the most prominent examples of this rise and decline is the Packard Plant, located
just outside of Detroits downtown region. The Packard Plant was once the largest
and most prodctive automobile factory in the United States, complete with such
a large population of employees, special housing adjacent to the plant was built
to accomodate all the workers. After the decline of the auto industry, the Packard
Plant has since been abandoned and left to crumble into its current state of ruin.
Reaminating the Ruins was a design competition held to redesign
the Packard Plant in such a way that it would re-activate the city of
Detroit as a whole. Some Assembly Required is the product of careful
research that produces a thoughtful solution to a large design challenge.

program allocation emphasizes research, education + innovation in order to create a self-sustaining, high tech research facility specializing inindustrial impact + cutting edge remediation techniques. growth + success of the facility are achieved by creating a draw from research, education and innovative techniques to help the community both locally + regionally, eventually nationally + globally. Transit becomes a secondary, but important factor for the facility to function, bringing people into the city to work, Learn + discover. Nearby nodes benefit fromthe ease of non-automotive transit as people are drawn into the packard facility. over time, additional elements, such as residential, recreation+ entertainment complete the design, turning packard into a central hub that re-activates the city.

research & analysis
Research on the current state, trends, history and resources of were imperative
to paint a picture of how the packard plants redesign could create a positive
impact. When putting together the design manual, it was important to relay the
importance of understanding Detroits context before beginning the design
process. program placement on a site this large became an imperative part
of the design. Taking current successful nodes and applying them to spatial
planning, the future success of the packard plant became a direct result of
current successes in the detroit area, further strengthening Detroit as a whole.

Potential Opportunities + Hazards
This manual is a set of guidelines for the re-imagination of the Packard Plant in Detroit, Michigan. It is meant to be used as a prescriptive design tactic for architecture and is in no way suggestive of specic aesthetics. This method is intended to be adaptive to current Detroit needs as well as exible to the users programmatic requirements. It is meant for use by designers, builders + any person or group intending to purchase + redesign buildings within the plant. When using this manual, it is important to consider the current conditions surrounding the Packard Plant, including social, economic + environmental factors.

approach & solution
After investigating 3 different scenarios, my partner and I determined that
instead of a perscribed whole design, an instruction manual with guidelines
would be a more appropriate response. Due to the sheer size of the Packard
Plant, paired with current detroit trends towards smaller, more unique
grassroots growth, the current and future investors and entreprenuers can
use the guidelines to take ownership in their own piece of the Packard
Plant. By following the guidelines, each business could creatively place their
stamp on thier portion of the packard plant while still maintaining a coherent
overall design. A more organic growth approach, much like a city, can
occur, creating a unique space, reflective of Detroits past, present, + future.

hybrid synthesisExploration of abstract spatial qualities and relationships built on
two previous projects: the subtractive and additive. The process of
combining the subtractive and additive projects was achieved through
analyzing each models elevation and then selecting desired features
from each in order to create four new, 2=d elevations (adjacent page).
From the poche elevations, a 3-d model was created, then taken through
three transpositions to be manipulated into an abstract design for a museum
located on the corner of Larimer and 14th street in Denver, Colorado.
transpositions
Each transposition isolated single elements from the hybrid model and
accentuated it to create features such as circulation, procession, and thresholds.
After transpositions were applied, the abstract model became a
sequence of directed pathways through compressed (heavy) and
expanded (light) spaces that shaped experiences for the user
and guided further placement of exhibition spaces as a museum.

detroit agriculturalAs preliminary research for the reanimating the ruins competition, data mapping
was necessary in order to aid in the problem solving activity of re-designing the
Packard Plant. This map is a collection of data that revealed Detroits future as
an agricultrual center, complete with current farms and gardens broken down
by type, layered with precipitation averages monthly throughout the year, typical
harvest crops organized by amount and season, water availability and proximity,
and finally, soil quality of vacant land available for the viability of of crop growth.

santuario shadow studySet in the high peaks of the Andes Mountain, Machu Picchu is an impressive
architectural feat of a mysterious ancient culture.
Santuario Machu Picchu study is an investigation on the history of
landscape design. the location, orientation and precise placement
of buildings and agriculture were found to be a direct result of solar
patterns. The shadow studies depicted relationships between shadow
coverage and the location choice for this sacred stronghold. Machu
Picchus location is directly in the center of the observation of the winter
solstice sunrise and sunset on either side of the surrounding mother
mountain, directly connected with the suns path at the horizon. Solar
patterns were even used to determine heirarchy of buildings, including
religious and secular uses and demarcating sacred versus social space.
additionally, Observance of solar patterns enabled the
Inca to measure the changing of the seasons, leading to the ability
to measure time. The Incas ability to harness solar and celestial
patterns allowed them to become the dominant civilization of their time.

farm to tableFarm To Table represents a history of denvers strong agricultural ties,
re-imagined to show the evolution of this industry over time.
The unique design was born from researching the reclaimed antique
farm machinery it was made from. Transforming the historical work
horse farm equipment into a functional work horse for the modern day
kitchen provides a way for new users to understand, learn and connect
with the local heritage by repurposing an antique, no longer useful, item
into a functional piece that could become heart of the modern day home.

process & details
Observing the dissasembled parts of the reaper, sketching aided in
understanding the relationship of parts and exploring potential construction
possibilities for the base of the island. the process of recreating farm
equipment into a kitchen island is a series of problem solving exercises.
Due to the nature of irregular, assymetrical elements, it was
important to begin designing with the two most regular elements,
the wood legs with steel inserts. From these two legs, the axle was
designed, providing a starting point to construct the rest of the table.
Careful attention was placed on maintaining as many original details as possible.
While reassembling Farm To Table, as many pieces and parts of the existing
reaper were used in innovative new configurations to stabilize and secure the
piece of furniture, creating a unique piece that is true to its original character.

open-endednessPreservation should not be a reactionary movement, but instead
a catalyst that contributes to the urban development of a city.
Currently, preservation and regeneration are alternatives we turn to when a
structures face condemnation. We should instead be looking to preservation
as an initiative, looking for its opportunities, and taking advantage of
its progressive and innovative solutions to spur urban development.
Opportunity and innovation lie at the very heart of what preservation is.
By taking pieces of our history and adapting them to our current and future
needs, preservation can provide both the understanding of a citys layers
of its past while maintaining a relevance to the present, yet allowing room
for its future development, and creating a richness and unique identity
in its urbanism that inspires new development. A snapshot of downtown
Denvers current building stock provides the base for taking a sampling
of structures from a variety of years in which they were built. This analysis
begins to show the layers of history, past and present while also enabling
the analysis of growth impact to the city. Additionally, this research begins
to describe why it is important for cities to have a diverse building fabric.
As it creates an opportunity for urban development, it also provides
a layered uniqueness and identity of a place over time. It will always
be relevant and tells the story of the past for an understanding
in the present with an open-endedness that becomes the future.

Pedro Market provides many different opportunities for a variety of exchanges
and experiences between local residents and transient visitors. Each person feels
a unique and intimate connection within this truley special place. Each of these
photographs are an attempt to capture the feel of the market by depicting its utterly
simple function and everyday-ness that lends to the authentic experiences.

sketchingsketches are a means of exploration. They can guide spatial awareness,
adjacencies, form, function and numerous other values. Regardless of all the
formal values that can be explored, perhaps the single most important element
sketching allows us to do is dream. Sketching enables us to break from the reality
of rules and constraints. It frees us from thinking about the practicality of an idea,
project or concept. Mostly, it is a method to develp these concepts and theories
through an imaginitive thought process, allowing for creative problem solving
that can bring us to innovative processes and conclusions never before explored.
