apartment complex fall 2024 (currently in progress) berlin, germany julie bauer washington university in st. louis, mo

The residential housing complex focuses on the fundamental lifestyle needs of Berlin through both environmental and societal needs. Due to the connection with Japan, the apartments pay homage to the genkan and veranda components of the Japanese home. The unit is organized based upon a series of thresholds, which were aggregated into a complex and placed in a post-war development neighborhood.

culinary institution spring 2024 st. louis, missouri eugeni bach washington university in st. louis, mo

The overarching strategy of the Culinary Institute focuses on catalyzing “the spirit of Soulard.” The surrounding neighborhood was analyzed, and its proportions were applied to the site. A “link” system was designed to create a perceived illusion of many smaller buildings from the exterior, without losing their interior function. Passive systems (brick lattice, canadian wells, green-roofs, rainwater collection) are integrated into the project in response to the St. Louis climate.

prairie greenhouse fall 2023 st. louis, missouri bruce lindsey washington university in st. louis, mo

The greenhouse and art gallery program emphasize the relationship between art and the local environment of the St. Louis prairie. The program supports students through opportunities to document the environmental history of St. Louis, to discern the qualities of the surrounding environment, to develop leadership experiences, and to dedicate knowledge to the community.

undergraduate thesis spring 2023 belfast, northern ireland jori edrman + deji chen james madison unversity, harrisonburg, va

The thesis focuses on employing the architectural lens of liminality to question how space can unite divided communities and change people’s hearts. The topic revolves around the Troubles, a poltical and religious conflict, where communities are separated by thirty foot tall walls. This examination calls for an architectural intervention that aims to bring humanity to the Protestant and Catholic religions/communities.

japanese tea house fall 2022 chichu art museum, japan william tate james madison university, harrisonburg, va

The Japanese Tea Ceremony is a ritualistic action that invites exploration into spirituality and patience.

Through a circular momentum of typology, fragmentation, and density, the structure became a passage of encapsulating darkness, tuning light as an instrument of controlled sight. This phenomenological experience enhances the individual’s participation in the practice of cleansing, spiritual respect, tea ceremony, and the art of archery.

community dance theater fall 2021 shockoe bottom, richmond, va golnar ahmadi + nick brinen james madison university, harrisonburg, va displayed in annual undergraduate juried exhibition

This cultural congregation space is designed specifically as a venue for dance and theatrical performances. The theater explores the concepts of expansion and contraction to determine the function of interior spaces. To amplify moments of remembrance, the sounds and movements of sean nós dance influence the atmospheric experience of the user.

bench

wooden bench summer 2023 ryan abendroth washington university in st. louis, mo

As a team project, this bench evolved over several collaborative iterations in order to develop a modular design that could be repeated. Once designed, we produced a jig to properly cut the pieces at a 30 degree angle. This project developed our woodshop/ craftsmanship skills and questioned our understanding of what defines a bench.

33rd House by Geoffrey Bawa in Colombo, Sri Lanka was analyzed through an iterative diagrammatic process that evolved over the course of approximately six weeks. The house revealed its focus on the natural environment through materiality and permeability.

The house was constructed over a period of time, allowing a method of bricolage to control the development of the home.

shienso house, horiguchi sutemi analysis fall 2024 michelle hauk washington university in st. louis, mo

The Shienso House responds to the current events that impacted Japanese housing architecture of the 1920’s. Horiguchi designed the home through the lens of Bunriha Kenchiku Kai, modern Dutch architectural influence, and non-urban elements of architecture. He used his practice in order to engage with methodologies that examine the vernacular in order to integrate modern construction applications that create a new form of architecture.

At Jon Hensley Architects, I worked on wide variety of commercial and residential projects alongside Jon Hensley, Kat Cahir, and Jaime Ramirez. I had the opportunity to produce existing site conditions, schematic plans + elevations, permit drawing sets, 3D modeling + rendering, wall sections, and interior design pamphlets. Additionally, I conducted site visits and met with clients and engineers over the course of the summer and the months of December/January.
