Final Site Design

The Expedia HQ Development transformed a former biotech campus into a tech company’s new headquarters. For me, this project was defined by a moment where the project’s design goals (and budget) shifted dramatically.

We initially presented the client designs for an expansion based on harmony with existing buildings, and a building-block approach to phasing and expansion. However, the client had internally updated their project priorities, and following that presentation pushed our team to make something bolder. The next weeks saw an intense series of redesign presentation sessions. As part of a high stakes charette team, I produced a range of ideas and options, with the client picking the most aggressive direction more that once, until we arrived at the curving, twisting and leaning, yet singular form that became the expansion building.

From there, we resolved the issues that often accompany a deceptively simple and transparent design. Parts that I worked on included rationalizing the twisting column geometry, resolving the intersection of one floor “layer” with another, and integrating details such as the twelve-inch seismic joint that bisects the new building.

I found this project exciting, demanding and rewarding because of the rigor required in our push to make something special.

Color Schemes Subtly Aid Wayfinding

After the client was satisfied with the new design for the curved expansion building core and shell, I moved to the interior design team to help develop the defining interior features and design and coordinate the exposed ceilings. The client was looking for a light, airy design, with tones of Scandinavian and pacific northwest. A couple of elements made this project unique. One, our core and shell design is both repetitive and challenging for interior layouts. Each floor is a consistent radius curve with standard floor depths, but the floors shift and the leaning columns are unique in every location. Also, The building is completely open, with exposed structure and floor to ceiling columns. There was a need to create enclosed space without detracting from the flow and sense of a larger continuous form within the floors.

The solution was a series of wood “ribbons” of program elements that form radial strips throughout the building. These ribbons create meeting rooms, open kitchenettes, breakout zones, and even tiered seating for team gatherings.

Part of my work on the building interior included coordinating ceiling equipment. Most spaces in the building are open to structure, intentionally showing off the simple yet dramatic concrete bones. That means designing layout and placement of many layers of exposed equipment. I worked on zone diagrams that established hierarchies and arrangements of ducts, lighting, pipes, electrical and data equipment, etc. We also worked to establish design and finish expectations with consultants. In showing off the machinery of the building, we strove to display it with rhythm and grace.

UC Irvine Learning Pavilion Invited Competition for New Building on Campus Inner Ring Design, Visualization and Physical Model-Making Irvine, CA Design Team at ZGF Architects Summer 2016

The UC Irvine Learning Pavilion was an invited competition to add an interdepartmental classroom and technology building to the historic central ring of the mid-century campus. The design was an exercise in looking forward to future needs of a premiere university while also looking back to the circumstances of confidence and optimism that surrounded the college’s creation.

Project Site Within 1964 Campus

Our solution accomplished several goals. We created a simple and architecturally legible shape that complements the original campus grouping. We also worked with grade to “hide” some of the program, preserving site lines through campus. Finally, we designed the building to be porous to through-circulation, inviting students both in and through the new collaborative space.

As part of our design competition entry, we built a large 2-piece display-quality model. The model is split down the middle with magnetic connectors to better illustrate the massing and sectional qualities of our design, which minimizes visual bulk while maximizing program area, introduces a garden level to encourage student pedestrian flow through and around 2 levels of the building and creating 2 day-lit ground floors. To build the physical model, we extrapolated the team’s design model used for rendering and drawing, and rebuilt it in rhino to the material tolerances of foam-core, acrylic, wood dowels and cork veneer.

Stuart Lake Hospital New Hospital to Replace Aging Small Town Facility Exterior Design, Planning, Structural Coordination, BIM Coordinator Fort St. James, BC Design Team at ZGF Architects 2021

Stuart Lake Hospital is a new regional hospital in Ft. St. James BC, a small town on a lake in rural British Columbia. The project is to be owned and operated by the Northern Health Authority of the Province of British Columbia, and as such is subject to rigorous and detailed requirements of both scope and budget. Our task has been to design a warm, welcoming, inclusive, and compassionate facility for the town and region that will be a hub of care for the area for decades to come.

Site Aerial

This project also has a fully remote design team. The ZGF team came from Vancouver, BC, Seattle, WA, and Portland OR. Through the pandemic and work from home, we have relied solely on Teams and Zoom meetings, server hosted files and communication, digital red-line sets and shared cloud models

Centre 425 Schematic, Podium and Lobby Design Core and Shell Office Building Bellevue, WA Design Team at NBBJ 2014-2015

The Centre is a boutique office buildng in Bellevue marketed toward technology tenants, with large shared amenity spaces intended to facilitate higher employee density on tenant floors. I worked as a designer on this project with a small team, from schematic design through construction documents.

Street Engaged Facade

When this project started, the city of Bellevue was just picking up speed in a movement toward urban growth and densification that continues today, in some ways paralleling the growth now happening in urban Austin.

Centre 425 started as a spec office building by a local developer. We were tasked to design a versatile space. To make something economical yet desirable, we designed it with a simple, elegant skin punctuated by a dramatic “fish bowl”, a two-level cantilevered glass box at the corner that acts as a living room space that both enlivens the experienced space and activates the street.

The building skin also reflects a pragmatism that came from maximum flexibility for future interior uses. Facade cadence follows a 5 foot planning grid.

Glazing transparency subtly shifts by building side, creating well-lit space on all sides while still establishing some formal hierarchy and legibility. HVAC, hinted at by louvers in the photograph below, serves floors individually for maximum tenant leasing flexibility.

I had a lot of fun creating audiovascular with a small team for the 2013 Seattle Design Jam, for which we won that years’ grand prize. The piece is a functional polyphonic musical instrument, as well as occupiable sculpture.

It encourages creative expression and exploits the correlation between music and heart health.

Parametric design played a large role in helping us quickly bring this project to reality. In addition to shape and visual evaluation, we used grasshopper to maximize recycled material utilization and minimize off-cuts, as well as to facilitate the tuning of playable notes.

Museo del Tango Washington University Design Studio, Tango Museum and Milonga Tango Museum and Milonga San Telmo, Buenos Aires, Argentina Instructor Fabian Llonch Fall 2011

While studying in Buenos Aires, I designed a museum devoted to tango that incorporates exhibition space as well as a dance hall, cafe and bookshop.

The museum is located in the neighborhood where tango was invented.

My design is a literal extension and manipulation of the street plane, as tango began in the streets of Buenos Aires. One experiences the building in a double helix circulation that echoes both the duality and rhythm of tango.

This looping experience takes the user in and out of the building through interior spaces and a programmatically varied roofscape that includes outdoor exhibition, walking paths, cinema, assembly space and restaurant.

Railyard Velocity Washington University Degree Project Studio Indoor Vertical Drag Strip North Downtown St. Louis, Missouri Instructor Ben Fehrmann Fall 2012

St. Louis is a city of relics. Among vacant lots, decommissioned industrial structures remain empty for decades, their size or condition defying easy reuse.

There could, however, be an enticing solution. Let the strangeness of these hulks suggest an equally interesting new purpose.

Activity Around the Cotton Belt Terminal, circa 1910

The former Cotton Belt freight terminal is one of St. Louis’ most unique old structures. Over an eighth of a mile long, yet only thirty feet wide, it was originally arranged to maximize rail freight loading efficiency.

The rails are gone now, but the terminal’s proportions still evoke linear motion, the endless loading bays have a rhythm, the railroad history speaks of massive machines and motion.

Railyard Velocity responds to these conditions with an indoor drag strip, capturing this movement and mechanical history.
