The Lighthouse Public Library is a library that promotes community sustainability and community resiliency. Its unique form allows for access from all sides on the site, connecting and engaging the community for a more sustainable and resilient future. The Lighthouse Library is responsible for housing book stacks, a children’s section,
cafe, and classrooms. With the idea of the library evolving over time, designing a place that attracts community members was the most important aspect of the design.
With channel glass cladding the building’s exterior and it’s strategic landscape design, it allows light to act as conduit to strengthen a community that needs a new light source.

The Boone Annex Theatre is a multi-use development project located in the historic 18th & Vine district east of downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Inside this building are apartments, a black box theatre, and office space available for rent. In this historical district, most buildings are clad in red and brown brick. The approach to this building was to

The Alma Boys & Girls Club is a community center located in the small town of Alma, Kansas. With the building being located in the downtown district, this design serves as an opportunity for children and teens to have a place to go after school to connect with their peers. With this small town using materials like limestone and brick, this new boys
& girls club uses a wood panel cladding to be distinct, but also fit into the existing surrounding context. At the core of the building is a courtyard that acts as a getaway for children to not only act as a safe space, but also lets in light on this infill site.

Year Completed: 5th Year
The Wellness Pavilion is located on the campus of Kansas State University, in Manhattan, Kansas. This pavilion is a Japanese-inspired structure that encourages students to release all burdens before entering. With a yoga studio, study spaces, and an amphitheater, this is the perfect place for on-campus students to realign. The Wellness Pavilion is
situated on an open lawn that has a gradual slope of 20 feet. The overall concept of this design is to create a pavilion that follows the contours of the site, allowing it to fit into the existing landscape to create a seamless design.
Phase 1 - Carving
Cutting into the ground plane allows for separation of space without any vertical planes.
Phase 2 - Folding
Curling the ground plane allows for space to be made for seating and surfaces to put your belongings.
Phase 3 - Bending
The main aspect of this design process was manipulating the roof so that it follows the same contours of the site, which makes the pavilion look natural.
Phase 4 - Stepping
Next, the ground plane steps down in order to create seating for the amphitheater to watch performances and to get work done.
Phase 5 - Angeling
In order to create a sub terrain environment, the ground plane of the cafe is angled, which causes occupants to submerge into the design.
Phase 6 - Merging
Finally, the amphitheater stage is merged with the ground plane to create a space for performances and social events.

elevated experience.
Elevated Experience is a new way of looking at an architectural two dimensional elevation. On the QR code to the left, it will take you to an interactive elevation shown above. In this interactive drawing, you will be able to see how when exposed to natural elements like rain, metal will rust over time. You will also be able to shake you device
to cause the landscape of the elevation to move, then control it with your finger. This project is meant to give viewers of architectural drawings a more interactive experience, creating excitement and a new way of looking at two dimensional drawings.
columbus park public library.
The Columbus Park Library is a project located in the Columbus Park neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri. Columbus Park is a neighborhood that has been somewhat forgotten, a place that does not having a sense of identity. This was a project that was part of a competition sponsored by Helix architecture firm, located in Kansas City, Missouri.
The basis of this design was to not only create a space where community members could learn, but create a building that can give this forgotten community a sense of identification. With the use of brick that is commonly found throughout the neighborhood, a familiar material on a new structure gives this community a sense of hope.
marquee restaurant facade.
The Marquee is a theatre turned restaurant that is located near downtown Kansas City, Missouri. For this project, the design calls for a new facade to give the newly-converted restaurant a new identity. With this restaurant being located in an area that is known for being different and thinking outside the box, this design displays forward thinking and
boldness. With a large brick volume being encased in a glass facade, this big move merged with simplicity creates a form that is eye catching, which gives this new restaurant a sense of identity and place.

internship.
Located in Los Angeles, California, Marmol Radziner is an architecture firm that is known for their clean cut designs in residential and landscape architecture. While there, I gained experience in all phases of design, including helping with construction documents, voicing my opinion during the design stage, or creating renderings, being involved in
these phases exposed me to so much. Along side the design phases, attending weekly client meetings gained me experience with the profession outside of design work. My time at Marmol Radziner not only helped with my growth as a designer, but it helped with working in a collaborative environment and shaping me to be a better architect.
