Bob Evans’ Neighborhood CafeSpring 2014 - Re-envisioning Bob EvansDuring my final semester, I was tasked with re-branding and redesigning a Bob Evans restaurant for a post-graduate consumer base in an urban infill site. After a period of geographic research and brand analysis, my team developed a design concept based around making the Bob Evans (BE) experience more versatile with regard to time spent in the restaurant. BE Neighborhood Cafe’ allows urban customers to fit Bob Evans into their day regardless of how much free time they have in their fast-paced schedules.

GIS WorkTo begin addressing the needs of Bob Evans regarding their current locations in relation to post-graduate population centers, GIS data was used to discover Bob Evans restaurants were primarily located in suburban areas, away from core areas of milennials in downtown cen-ters.

DesignMy partner and I developed a scheme that gives customers an easy directional choice and simple interation upon entering the restaurant. Those who need to grab-and-go can go to the left and order a quick sandwich, pastry, or coffee from the cafe, while those who would like to sit down can go to the right and order their
customized sandwich from a touch screen order system. The varied seating types provide an
easy choice of eating experience for the patron.

Central wall solidifies as patrons move deeper into the restaurant, directingcirculation in almost identical ways with regard to form on eachend of the wall.
Central wall immediately directs traffic upon entry, giving an option of a quick,grab-and-go meal, or a custom dine-in experience with multiple scales of seating.

Model and Presentation ReactionThe model was created by laminating painted sheets of plexiglass to form the walls and sof-fits. Rich color was only applied in areas of design significance to highlight the choices made. The design was very well received by the Bob Evans design team and executives, citing that the smart and simple design addressed the current restaurants lack of adaptivity to a fast paced urban lifestyle. Bob Evans was also impressed with the changes made to the menu. BE recog-nized that the simplification of its current large and diverse menu made it easier for the consumer
to believe it’s freshness as authentic.

Site Plan Vertical Organization
The main goal for this student housing complex on the campus of Case Western Reserve University was to separate the building into three sep-arate vertical zones. The design restricts access to the upper levels of the structure to CWRU students and dorm residents while allowing the surrounding community to mingle with the university in the central in-terstitial space. An additional layer to the vertical separation design is the access of the residence hall lounge space to accommodate the needs of each floor. Overall, this design utilizes the urban setting of the cam-pus to integrate the community with the new housing facility.

The Project “ ”
Spring 2013 - Pre-Fab House Finishing my junior year, I was prompted to creating a pre-fabricated housing system that can adapt to a variety of family sizes. I began with an “L” module as a building block for my spaces. The “L” module can be manip-ulated not just by creating large spaces, but as a central core, a courtyard creator, and as a reaction to the topographical conditions ofthe site it’s placed on.

CircumVENTionSpring 2012 - Installation
In the spring of my sophomore year, I was assigned a group project to create a pavilion that simulated or released a certain emotion. As a team, my classmates and I developed a wooden structure that simulated the build up and release of frustration. The undulating walls taper and rotate from the entrance, but expand quickly at the designat-ed “release point. The foam noodles provide a physical outlet of release at the point of emotional overflow.

A Unified CollisionFall 2013
Starting my senior year, I was tasked with building a museum/architecture school in downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina. Through-out the course of the project, my design was centered around the recognition of the sites central location within the city and creating abuilding that represented the collision of culture at our site. After creating a semi-transparent wall model, I used it’s con-cepts to spatially organize the immense amount of program. The school and the mu-seum are bound together by colliding program and similar core structure, while still main-taining unique spacial qualities.
