Conceptually, the visitor center serves to recreate part of the hilltop, which was bulldozed and flattened for previous structures. It also becomes a threshhold, at first denying the view across the valley, then guiding the visitor and framing it for them.

Aquarium + Apartments Man and prehistoric beast living along side each other. A mixed use project joining the programs of an aquarium with those of a residential community. The combination creates opportunities for unusual adjacencies between man and animal, each in their respective homes, and yet each being the subject of observation by the other.

Contraptionized Environment A project done in collaboration with a Chicago theater troupe. My team was tasked with designing an intervention for Redmoon Theater’s Pilsen warehouse which would increase its functionality as an indoor performance venue for the troupe as well as expand its usefulness as a storage and community outreach space.
The proposal involves the installation of a secondary space frame structure within the warehouse and the suspension of 24 removable platforms from it. These platforms are made operable by a motorized winches, allowing for a spatially dynamic and functionally enhanced headquarters for the troupe.

Lake House - Von Weise Associates A repository for memories. A driving idea behind the project is the delineation of the “man-made” and the “natural” landscape, which is accomplished by means of a continuous cor-ten wall that cascades from the top of the property down to the yard below the house. This was partially influenced by an early Richard Serra sculpture called “Shift.”
My primary tasks on this project were drawing and modeling a new design for the topography of the site, as well as updating and refining the design of the boathouse on the property.
Richmond Bridge Park - Spatial Affairs Bureau A stitch to connect the city of Richmond, a place to enjoy it’s past and it’s present. The Bridge Park Foundation contacted SAB to develop a study of options for an elevated park that would cross the James River using the existing piers from previous rail road bridges.
The scope of the project has slowly expanded and morphed, transforming into an extended promenade which takes over two lanes of the under-used Manchester to the south and extends all the way to the now derelict Kanawha Plaza. My duties with SAB included drafting and modeling (physical and digital), and development of concepts for the bridge and for Kanawha Plaza and graphics for presentation.
