ZERO

Location: Seattle, Washington

Project type: Individual

Utilized: Revit, SketchUp, Enscape Photoshop, Illustrator, MidJourney

A new adaptive reuse shopping center, Zero is a waste management forward place to make conscious environmental decisions while getting necessary articles of clothing. The fashion industry is the second largest polluting industry in the world, only behind the oil industry. The goal of Zero is to start to bring awareness to an ever growing problem which is clothing and textile waste. This will be addressed through a donation center, thrift shops, up-cycled fashion vendors, and a recycled art space.

92 million tons of textile waste is discarded globally every year.

Zero is a new adaptive reuse shopping center located on the waterfront in Seattle, Washington on Pier 56. Zero is just the beginning to help bring a shift into the clothing and fashion industry. Through design strategies and community engagement, it is our goal to help communicate the clothing waste crisis through a story telling nature and experience.

That is a garbage truck full taken to the landfill every second.

Enough to fill one and half Empire State Buildings every day.

URBAN STEAM

Location: Pullman, Washington

Project type: Interdisciplinary group with Ivana Vrdoljak, Keya Payne, Josh Gilleland, Corey Saling, Noah England

Utilized: Revit, Photoshop, TwinMotion

Urban Steam is a part of a larger renovation of downtown Pullman, Washington. This renovation is called The Collective where our plan was to reform the circulation plan for Pullman. Our goal was to connect the large student population of Washington State University with the local residents of the city. Bringing new attractions to support the city as well as a new way of transportation that will last for generations. Using adaptive reuse strategies and being environmentally conscious throughout our design.

Pullman Trolley System

A new and modest trolley system will create an optimal way of efficiently connecting WSU students to the heart of downtown and residents to WSU’s campus. Small trolley stations will also be designed at the with most of the route along the unused railway that travels through Pullman.

Reaney Park Re-imagined

Our redevelopment will provide amenities, such as a small amphitheater and a place for art that will attract way more people to the park. This design will also bring together both WSU students and yearround members of the community.

Niel Library Redevelopment

A new redevelopment of this space will bring a new spark to downtown Pullman. The building would be redeveloped into a 50,000 space that would provide both classic amenities of the old library as well as new and advanced ones.

The Collective

Adaptive reuse of steam plant

The WSU steam plant currently only partially used. Our redevelopment of this space will strive to bring a new place to shop for fresh local food and a modern dining experience.

Pullman Downtown Plaza

Our redesign slows down the traffic on main street, reducing it to only two lanes, adding a lane for the trolley and significantly expanding the sidewalks. Additionally, more landscape features such as bio retention ponds are added.

WSU Visitor Center and Skate Park

This area will be redeveloped to provide more features that will increase attraction. A new structure will be developed in this area, as well as a new bridge over the N. Fork Palouse River that connects the visitor’s center and this new building together.

Urban Steam is a new co-op, restaurant, and social space located in the old steam plant on the Washington State University campus in Pullman, Washington. The new co-op will offer a way for the community to get the freshest produce from the local farmers. There will be a 3 story restaurant attached to the co-op that prepares the fresh food into signature dishes. The industrial theme of the restaurant will create an atmosphere like any other dining option in Pullman making it enticing for everyone.

BUCKIES

Location: Munich, Germany

Project type: Group with Alex Verkamp and Sarah Street. mentorship from Gensler Seattle. Utilized: Revit, Rhino, Photoshop, TwinMotion

At Buckie’s we were tasked with creating a new, global location in Munich Germany. While Germany is known for its beer, coffee is actually the most popular drink in the country. They are also the second largest export for roasted coffee in the world, and we thought it would be a perfect location for our new office. At Buckie’s it’s our mission is to unify friends, family, coworkers, strangers all together through coffee, we also wanted to achieve this through our design.

Located in the heart of downtown Munich, Germany. The people of Munich love to bike and walk and visit many attractions such as local gardens, museums, beer gardens, folk music.

Munich is working towards a hybrid office like much of the world with 56% of jobs having that option. While only 27% are working at efficient workplaces.

German Folk Art is a large part of the culture in Munich. The symmetrical forms create unification throughout the designs of the cultural arts.

We have implicated this inspiration in our space planning, creating a space that reflects and unifies the curves and symmetry of the art with our way-finding of the office design.

Using this idea of unification, we wanted our stair to be the “heart of the home” in a sense and unify floors 1 and 2. We did this by designing a stadium-type stair in the center of the space. This allows employees and guests to use this space as a place to work as well as socialize Using the German Folk Art as well as a design on the wood slat wall to guide you upstairs.

THE ‘01

Location: Denver, Colorado

Project type: Individual

Utilized: Revit, Photoshop, Lumion

The 01’ Hotel & Brewery strives to celebrate the buildings history while being net positive building and provide power and electricity back to the surrounding area like it once did for the tramway back in 1901. We plan to also promote sustainable practices with a bike rental shop. Denver ranks in the top 10 in solar energy and in overall sustainability and we plan to contribute to that on a daily basis and be the face of sustainability for the city. Using WELL V2 standards as well with focus on light, movement, mind, water.

Our sustainability strategy is to place photo-voltaic cells across the large roof, having a large windmill out front, and using a water tower that stores rainwater and dumps it through a turbine. The water tower is meant for those days that are less sunny and windy and still can produce enough electricity for the hotel.
