INDIANA STREE T Studio 804 is an immersive design-build experience where students learn comprehensive skills in the

architectural development process. The home built at

519 Indiana Street was designed and built by students over the course of eight months. Studio 804 employs innovative processes and creativity to solve design

problems, during every phase of development. The students form partnerships with zoning and code

officials, and commercial vendors to secure materials,

in addition to producing and submitting construction documents and estimates, site layout, concrete work,

framing, roofing, siding, electrical, setting solar panels,

and landscaping. 519 Indiana Street is projected to be the 17th LEED Platinum building completed by Studio 804.

HANDS ON EXPERIENCE

Multifamily

As a firm specializing in residential architecture, I had the opportunity to work on multiple multifamily projects as an intern at NSPJ. I

had the opportunity to work on CDs from various multifamily

projects and do a site tour of a

large multifamily development.

Biophilic Design

This project was part of an intensive five-week graduate design studio, emphasizing urban context, design theories and architectural tectonics. The site for the Health and Wellness Center is located in Downtown Lawrence, Kansas. This area is at the end of a long, strict

urban edge that is active and pedestrian-friendly, and across the street from two historic landmark buildings.

The proposal for this design stems from the location of the building as well as its purpose.

Since the building is at a changing point between a very residential area to a very pedes-

trian-dense area, pushing and pulling different parts of the facade to break slightly break

up the strict urban edge was important. The building also needed to face the main corner to serve as a gateway into downtown, along with the other two historic structures on that intersection.

This building includes spaces for improving physical, mental, and spiritual health and

wellness. The use of light, views, and materiality are chosen to provide a more sensual experience

The atrium inside the health and wellness center has natural woods, including light hardwood and accent yakisugi, a charred Japanese wood. The planters are arranged at different levels, some elevated, some hanging from floors above. Light is filtered through a rooftop louver system and exterior foliage growing on a curtain wall trellis system.

As a whole, the health and wellness center design creates a garden at the end of the downtown strip. The yoga studio and massage rooms on the third floor glow like lanterns atop this garden at night.

ARCADE BAR O N M A S S AC H U S E T T S S T R E E T The owner of this old bar on Massachusetts Street

had goals of making the space into an arcade bar. I

was hired to help with preliminary floor plans in order to start the approval permitting process started.

The lower level is a casual sit-down dining area like most other restaurants in the area, while the upper

level has a large arcade room with bar seating. Both levels feature a wall of tap beer, and together they accommodate patrons of all types.

Habitat ReStore

During the 2020-2021 school year, I was given the

opportunity to work with the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Lawrence, KS. We were able to work

with management throughout the course of the project and set our goals and focus areas. Our

main goals when working with ReStore was to find ways of maximizing inventory turnover and profit.

The focus areas included inventory organization and layout improvements, wayfinding solutions,

re-imagined storefront recognizability and street

presence, improving inventory control and turnover, and provide guidance and training suggestions

regarding customer-staff interactions. Although

our report was primarily text, some visual aids were produced to supplement the findings.

FABRICATION

The objective of this course was to introduce students to the fabrication of

physical building systems, using the KUKA Robot. The projects could focus on making a strong building material, a masonry veiner for a curtain wall

system, or propose another type of system which could be printed by the KUKA Robot in small units.

My project was geared towards a system that could be self-supporting

and printed to different thicknesses to be versatile in its use. The shape I designed can be laid in a horizontal linear pattern, like standard masonry

units, or arranged in a grid, vertically. Since the pattern tessellates, it can be laid without strange gaps between individual units as one large system.

The form was designed using Rhinoceros, and the print sequence and was programmed using Grasshopper plugin for Rhino. The print path was produced using Grasshopper and exported to the KUKA program.

A clear PVC tube is packed air-tight with clay. A plastic plunger is added to the top of the clay and a cap with a air hose attachment is attached to the

top. An air compressor creates pressure in the tube against the plunger and extrudes the clay out the other end. The clay extrusion is run independently from the robot path, and the air compressor and the robot program have to be started and stopped simultaneously for the print to be successful.
