affordable housing and public art complex
Frogtown & Rondo Neighborhoods Saint Paul, MN
The neighborhoods of Frogtown and Rondo in Saint Paul have long stood as havens of acceptance and bonding for the neglected. Today this position has formulated a diverse community of refugees, minorities, and survivors. Despite the testament of resilience on display, the neighborhoods still hold obvious lacks. Poor residential density has left a need for housing, particularly that can cater to lower-income residents. Sparse greenspace provides few public areas to grant the community safety and relaxation. And the diversity of cultures provides beautiful arts that could heal and revitalize the society given the proper spaces for display and celebration. This mixed-use affordable housing complex seeks to provide a more urban residence opportunity that still grants access to low-income households. By centering around a community program that celebrates arts, this space looks to act not only as a haven for those needing safety but as an integration of culture than can beautify and stimulate the area for continued restoration and development. This complex will provide Frogtown and Rondo a safe haven granting urban living to all residents while utilizing the unified healing of celebrating local arts and culture.

Elevate Design Competition
UNI Competitions
This project was submitted as an entrant under firm StudioBUILD in the UNI design community’s Elevate competition. Despite rising technological innovation that connects, informs, and entertains like never seen before, it is commonplace for people to stare at their screens while being surrounded by active public spaces. The challenge presented by UNI was to create a publicly performing urban space that breaks this connectivity continuum to create a disconnect from screen time, thereby reconnecting people to the environment around us. StudioBUILD’s design sought to connect humans together in an authentic way across cultural and idological divides while also inviting a moment of stillness so that humans might commune with the metaphysical. This submission was shortlisted as a finalist in the competition, placed third in the popular vote, and ultimately received a honorable mention for its overall thought, design, and presentation.

ENVISION ELGIN MIXED-USE TOWER
The city of Elgin stands in a state of transition, seeking to return to its former activity and glory of the early twentieth century. A number of projects have been made in at tempt to revitalize the downtown area and once again draw pedes train traffic and habitation. What this mission formally lacks is a cap stone project, an objective that the Envision Elgin Tower seeks to satis fy. This structure seeks to unify the city in a mindset of progression, acting as a hub for community de velopment. This is achieved through a focus on revision, begin ning with contextual and familiar forms of the Elgin landscape, and refining into something new and dynamic. The building block form is a further representation of the unification of disparate ideals into a cohesive composition. The re sulting construct is the landmark identity that Elgin needs to fully es tablish its vision for tomorrow.

FINE ARTS.
Pursuit of architectural excellence encourages graphical and design analysis through a variety of mediums and techniques. Through studies in architectural drawing and watercoloring, a level of proficiency has been obtained in the primary aspects of perspective, value, and layering. Additional work with handcrafted projects has granted further appreciation and understanding of materials, tectonics, and detailing that comes with full scale design. Subjects consist of original content, artist imitations, and architectural structures, including those discovered while on European study tour.

Pedestrian Bridge at Olivet Nazarene University
Bourbonnais, IL
Employment at BLDD Architects during professional preceptorship provided close work with the Village of Bourbonnais while designing a pedestrian bridge serving the entrance of local Olivet Nazarene University. This project sought to better connect students to the village while providing residents with safe passage over a busy vehicle intersection. In designing, emphasis was placed on Bourbonnais’ French heritage, exemplified by the material selection, mansard tower roof design, and fleur-de-lis graphic. The hope is to provide both a functional benefit to the city while celebrating the village’s cultural identity via a proclaimed gateway entrance.

Davis Park Redevelopment
Davis Park Rockford, IL
This redevelopment plan seeks to revitalize Davis Park in downtown Rockford, located along the Rock River’s eastern edge just across from the current downtown hub. Through various interactions with community members it became evident there existed a lack of vision for the current form and utility of Davis Park, in particular its lone standing structure, the Lorden Building. While interviewing residents there was surprisingly little sentiment for the existing conditions, and the predominant opinion supported leveling the site and beginning anew. When referencing the Lorden, common verbage included ‘ugly’, ‘unsafe’, and ‘useless’. It was apparent that the site has become viewed simply for what it currently is, and not for the utility it can attain. The objective of this proposal was to disrupt the current mindset and form of Davis Park to formulate a new destination node for the city of Rockford.
