BKN Waterfront Apartments
Brooklyn, New York | Spring 2023 | 4 Month Project
This was a partner project completed during my final semester at Kansas State. My studio was challenged with creating a new housing typology that could be copied and pasted no matter the environment or location. The idea is based on the “vertical city” of Hilberseimer and the “streets in the sky” ideas within the Unite D’habitacion and Robin Hood Gardens. From these precedents,
four design ideas were implemented: raise the building off the ground, single loaded circulation, split level units touching both facades, and community programming located throughout. Another benefit of the building being elevated from the ground is the creation of a public park. This park is intended to bring local residents in with different passive and active recreational activities.

Typical Unit Level With Circulation Typical Unit Level Above Circulation 5
Most units within this scheme are split level, this is to separate the spaces within each unit vertically, which minimizes the need for walls. The units are divided into three zones. The zone on the circulation side houses the kitchen on the entry level, and bedrooms above or below. The zone on the other side
of the building houses the living space (and in some cases, bedrooms above or below as well). The zone in the center houses vertical circulation as well as a vertical chaise that runs through the entire section of the building. This chaise contains restrooms and/or storage.

Domestic Violence CoHousing
Topeka, Kansas | Fall 2021 | 4 Month Project
The Topeka Domestic Violence CoHousing Project was a project completed in the fall semester of my fourth year at Kansas State. Most architecture relating to survivors of domestic violence is focused on shelters and short term stays. We were given the challenge of creating
a safe environment to facilitate the healing of the women who would stay here. The driving idea behind the project is protection from harm while maintaining openness and healing through a connection to nature and each other.

American Folk Art Museum
Manhattan, New York | Spring 2021 | 10 Week Project
The American Folk Art Museum was a project completed in the spring semester of my third year at Kansas State. This site was located in Manhattan, New York, on the corner of Great Jones and Lafayette Street. The main premise of my design was to contain all of the welcome,
learning, and administrative spaces on the lower level, while creating a piano nobile that contains the main gallery spaces. As one moves vertically throughout the building, they learn more about folk art, ultimately culminating in those top-level main gallery spaces.

Italian Cultural Center
Manhattan, New York | Spring 2021 | 5 Week Project
This project was done in the spring semester of my third year at Kansas State. In my studio, we were given the freedom to choose a specific culture to study and subsequently create a cultural center for. After completing my research, I chose to study the Italian culture because of my appreciation for the historical impact that Italian culture and has
had on art and architecture. The driving force behind my design is appreciation for the arts, specifically culinary, performing, and visual art. As one moves through the building, they learn about the Italian culture through first, the library, followed by the cafe, performance hall, and culminating in the gallery space.

Johnson Family Kitchen
This design was created for an interior architecture course over the summer intersession between fourth and fifth year. The class and design were centered around a kitchen design competition held by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) and sponsored by Fischer and Paykel. The family we were intended to design for were the Johnsvons, a fictional family of four from suburban Boston, Massachusetts.
The family wanted to maintain the transitional style of their home, maintain views from kitchen windows, install modern kitchen appliances, and serve as a homework location as well as act as the “command center” of the house. My concept focused on the idea of “display.” The display of art, the display of views to the rear, and the display of the Johnson family themselves.

Custom Island
This Island is a shifted, split-level island with triangular corner floating shelves. Separating the prep space from the activity space was key in this design. The lower side (prep side) has four cabinets, a low drawer, and a built in microwave drawer. The higher side (activity side) has barstools for all four family members (or the kids’ and their friends). The triangular corner floating shelves mimic the angular geometry of the kitchen itself and also allow for display of small art pieces or act as storage for kitchen supplies
