Biography I was brought up on heavy emphasis towards detail from a young age. Growing up in a military home, then joining the U.S. Army post highschool, developed my current work ethic of dedication, punctuality, and attention to detail. Priveledged enough for familial encouragement of freedom in creativity molded my mind towards design which I explored through video games, freehand drawing, and model making. I was unknowingly hoaning my skills I believe significantly defines me as an architectural designer. Much of my fixation on details originates from the military and I take extreme pride in every instance of work or activity I do. Originnally planning to attend college as an engineer, I was encouraged by engineering family members to pursure a degree in architecture. After my first year of architecture, I knew architecture is where I can push my passion of realizing design and its intricate details to its fullest.

THE LINK DOWNTOWN Jackson, MS 2025 Spring Semester | 16 weeks CDFL Capstone Studio - JSU STUDENT HOUSING Revit, AutoCAD, Rino3D, Illustrator, Lumion, hand sketch

Jackson State University (JSU) has a desperate need for student housing. Their current insecurity of student housing has lead them to occupy two hotels in downtown Jackson. I propose the design of a new multistory student housing building that is sited between JSU and downtown Jackson to act as a bridge between the two locations. This idea would in a sense right the wrong that JSU did when they displaced hundreds of residents by purchasing land on the East side of campus. Each design move was calculated with the intent of using light as a design statement throughout the project. Other important programing I invision include a public cafeteria. This public cafeteria would provide food for the students who live in the building as well as the general downtown public.

My vision for this public cafeteria is to serve as an inexpensive dining option that provides a easy source of plate lunch and diners.

SITUATION 50,529 sf

This site was chosen due for its median relationship to downtow Jackosn and JSU campus. In its current state, this site is an empty and delapadated concrete parking pad. Even in the unfortunate state the site is currently in, people can be seen utilizing it for spillover parking for the King Edward Apartments building one block north.

BELHAVEN

This site is most notably neighbored by the Standard Life building, King Edward Apartments, Jackson Convention Complex, and the City of Jackson Railroad. This site lies on the West corner block of E Court Street, W Pearl Street and W Pascagoula Street. Both Pearl Street and Pascagoula Street are main connection routes between downtown Jackson and Jackson State University. Pearl Street and Pascagoula Street are two high traffic transit routes in and out of the city, connecting downtown to I-55.

DIAGRAMING - STUDENT LIVING Rooms are designed with intent to be equitable in daylighting and view access for the students in this space. I researched and designed a special two-bed dorm unit (unit type 3) inspired by the design of Unit d’Habitation that consists of two-floor levels, the first being a shared living space and the second being private rooms for each student. The design of stacked rooms opened the possibility of giving the bed its own windowed view while allowing the shared living space a view as well. Glazing for these two room types is optimally placed to ensure each bed and desk gets the desired level of task lighting while not bringing unwanted direct light.

One of the more crucial spaces in the building is the central node on each floor. I designed unique floor cut-outs so that students can engage others literally through the building. These cuts allow daylight to penetrate deeper into the spaces, creating valuable functional space and increasing the mental energy levels of students through introduction of natural light. The time of day light enters this space changes how and where the students use this space at each period of the day.

CITY FACADE DESIGN STUDY Jackson, MS 2024 Fall Semester | 3 weeks Landmark Building City Facade Redesign Studio Revit, Photoshop, hand drafting

The Landmark building presents the city of Jackson with one of the very few curved facades. Unfortunately, it’s become hollow and vacant over the last few years. What once was a busy office building has turned into an empty shell, imposing strong horizontal features as it wraps around a downtown Jackson intersection.

My intention for the redesign of this facade was to create a skin that presented a multifunctionality for potential commercial and residential uses while maintaining the storefront on the ground.

SPANDREL DETAIL - EAST ELEVATION DESIGN PROCESS THINKING My design uses repetitive thin and wide vertical moves that draw the pedestrians’ eyes upwards to help break up the enormity of the facade. I started my design hand drafting at close detail and worked my way outward, and resolved it to greater detail. I then repeated that section to wrap around the full facade. Intense focus was placed on small details such as the following; window sills and lintels for lines of depth and lighting, layering different sizes/dimensions of materials (brick, travertine tile, and ceramic tile) for a juxposition of material grid, pattern, and thickness, expansion joints, weathered mortar, vertical brick dentils, and awning windows that varry in each bay. This design thinking helped me smooth out the necessary details and measurements needing to be addressed that would otherwise go untouched from the typical design process of large to small design thinking.

25TH DARK WAVE Gulfport, MS 2024 Spring Semester | 16 weeks Steel Design Competition Studio - BLACKBOX THEATER Revit, AutoCAD, Rino3D, Illustrator, Lumion, hand sketch

How do you design architecture to perform funtionaly and programatically in a way to exemplify its structure in a dramatic fashion? I designed accordingly to that question for this steel competition project. Conceptual planning started by experimentation with physical models to explore unique structural moves that intermingled with the building and its inhabitants. I then moved towards a more refined schematic design phase where structural connection details were drafted to furture articulate my design.

Simultaneously, building code and accessibility acted as additional determinants where i applied that knowledge to my architectural design. Once the programing for floorplans and sections seemed convincing, I then moved towards the building techtonics and assembly with the intent to further develop an understanding of the relationships between structure and assembly, facade and assembly, streetscape and interior. Lastly, I researched and developed the environmental systems and sustainability practices that would best suit my design thinking and give furthur validity towards my architectural design.

CONCEPTUAL PROCESS STRUCTURAL MODEL EXPERIMENTAION

CONCEPT MODEL ONE I wanted to create a structure that goes both inside the building and outside the building and exposes itself to the world as a means of celebrating it. A traditional scissor truss is often seen laying horizonatlly. I turned the scissor trusses vertically to put the top chord and bottom chord in compression in a manner shown to the right. This gives the effect of pushing outward and pulling inwards. The idea I derived from this conceptual model was strong, so I continued to pursue it and push the issue in later designs.

CONCEPT MODEL TWO

The industrial and modern look of exposed steel beams and columns create an aesthetically pleasing structural system. The utilization of this post and beam system contributes to a contempoary and open feel in areas that are deemed necessary according to propgraming, yet creates a forest of columns in areas of dense interior porgram. The base of each column has a thicker width that skinnies as you gaze upward resembling a true forest of tress. With a post and beam system, repetition is of the utmost importance. The front of the structural system opens up in plan, revealing a large space with cascading columns that squeeze the space lower and lower creating a high and low side of the interior. This concept helped me to understand that my structure needed to play a part in spacial planning within the building.

CONCEPT MODEL THREE

I wanted to explore a cross beam structural approach in this conceptual model. have the cross beams exposed on the exterior with glazzing behind it to show off the structure. The structure is elevated above ground on piles acting as post and truss acting as beams. This structure is angled and in a U shape in such a way to provide an open air courtyard space in the middle. The trusses would also be seen from the bottom of the design and ceiling of the design to enhance it’s celebration.

GESTURAL STRUCTURE MODELING I took the overall ideas from the first and second conceptual models and developed them furthur in Rhino modeling software. I explored the use of different truss designs, seeing how each could be used to push and pull, inward and outward on the building occupants. This gestural design is again furthur processed into more refined structure in the schematic design phase. I developed three structural designs and choose

PROGRAMING Three stories tall reaching 60 ft high, 25th Dark Wave creates new hights in the downtown district.

Guests are first presented with a small front courtyard providing relief from a busy street sidewalk. Entrance program is layed out intending to bring guests into an open space with high relief ceiling acting as a pre and post show gathering space. A grand staircase greats guests prompting them to move upwards for entry to the large and small theaters. As guests walk the stairs, they get closer to unique steel scissor trusses supporting the above wavy ceiling. Both upper and lower lobbies are situated between a large metal space frame that slices the building in two sections.

A cafe is attached streetside for guests and pedestrians to engage the building before and after shows for a snack. Behind the cafe lies the scene shop where patrons can purchase items to support the shows. Furthur located in the rear, all building systems, storage, and loading is places and sectioned off in a private manner.

PROGRAMING The front facade is recessed 10 ft to engage the public street with a courtyard seting space. The pushback is shadded by a metal mesh screen that continues the facade line of the buildings adjacent to it. Interior space and exterior courtyard are effected by this shadding device so light can filter through the recessed glazing facade. The two shaded rooms are the large and small theaters both 35 ft in hight. Each theater space is unique to the other in its seating arrangement and orientation, as well as a moveable partition wall in cases where a larger venue space is required. Each theaters share lobbies to encourage mingling and community interaction durring conjoining shows. Placing the theaters on the second floor helped to define the lower lobby space and create a threshold that prepared the guest’s mind before shows.

Tasked to renovate a rundown existing building called “KidzVille” owned by a local church, Peter’s Rock. The client is a non-profit organization, Starkville Strong, in search of a way to provide overnight shelter for their clients experiencing housing insecurity and act as a food pantry for donated goods.

Expanding upon the client’s wishes, programs such as multi-use office space, meeting rooms, public baths, public laundry facilities, and a take-out style food pantry window achieved a higher community-focused design that was open and inviting while still safe and secure. Visual security, dignity, comfort, and community are paramount to the design.
