El Pescadero, Mexico

Situated on a hillside overlooking the Pacific, Casa al Borde is a project about expanding and occupying contours. Earth flows down and through the house, in some areas creating seclusion and intimacy, while others afford a precipice to view the expanse. Exterior and interior spaces overlap, with the earth running through both. A close relationship between primary spaces and the atmosphere of site are central to living in this location.

The relationship between water and an arid climate is deeply elemental. Program areas pertaining to water throughout the house always have elements of sunlight and topography that are integral to their experience.

hop alley expansion _ bld studio

Denver, CO

On project team, brought on to manage CD set and CA: _ Final CD details, materials, and selections _ On site coordination _ Fab set review and approvals _ Completed 2023 Nestled in the bustling streets of Denver, Hop Alley has always exuded mystery and allure. We were hired by chef, Tommy Lee, to design the expansion of this cult favorite restaurant. Both contemporary and enigmatic in design, dark roman clay walls give a timeless elegance to the space while soft ambient lighting accentuates intricate textures throughout. The juxtaposition of liveliness and privacy is achieved through community type seating combined with secluded corners and intimate lighting.

low hillside

Steamboat, CO

Tree House is a single family residence in Steamboat CO. The house is sited such that it removes as few trees as possible from the lot, and draws influence from the forest for its materiality, form, and location.

Warm wood tones and vertical patterning in the siding, structure, and windows are meant to echo the surrounding tree trunks. Steel columns support the majority of the house - allowing natural hillside to flow beneath undisturbed. With a minimal footprint and a layout that runs parallel to the topography, almost all of the forest along the downhill edge of the property is preserved, screening the house from view.

elemental cafe _ bld studio On project team, completed and helped with: _ Design in all phases _ Project management in all phases _ Contractor selection _ Consultant coordination _ Permitting _ CD _ CA (ongoing)

Elemental Cafe is a tenant finish project situated in the historic York Street Yards of Denver, focusing on espresso and handmade baked goods. The client wanted to preserve the industrial quality present in the space, so our approach was to design a ‘building within a building’ that houses coffee bar and bakery programs. Customers move between this ‘production’ building and its historic perimeter where they can see the different stages of bread making through this envelope.

see saw ceramics See Saw Ceramics is a two person studio I founded with my partner, Kelsey Jualian. For us, there is a rich overlap between designing spaces for things, and designing things for spaces.

We explore shape-ness in many ways. We draw inspiration from our wheel thrown work, augment forms digitally, and investigate tactile qualities of what surrounds us. To make a shape (close to) permanent, it goes through a process of 3D printing, silicone molding, and finally plaster molding to be used as a slip cast form. For us, the act of taking forms through these steps is an opportunity to preserve precision, and transfer information into clay that would otherwise be impossible to translate.

Nederland, CO

Wild Bear Nature Center is a proposal for a carbon neutral, net zero, multipurpose education center in Nederland, CO. The building serves as a place for educational programs, and acts as an instrument demonstrating different ways to see its surroundings. A corten shed that wanders and twists downhill, the center engages with the topography, light, snow, and wind of its site through positioning and form.

dyna energetics phase 1 _ arch11

Blum, TX

On project team, completed and helped with: _ Facade + pattern design _ Detailing storefront + metal panel systems _ General CD document production _ Completed 2018 The core concept of Dyna Energetics was to take reference from other common structures of utility that are present in the plains of Texas. The material palette consists of galvanized metal panels, polished stainless steel panels, and glass with various levels of reflectivity. Our intent was to use these reflective materials to break down the scale of our large ‘shed’ and bring the sky into the facade. *Photos by James Florio Awards: _ AIA Colorado Award of Merit _ MCA Chairman’s Award _ American Architecture Award

Boulder, CO

The driving idea behind roof house was to create a ‘social court’ that was defined by a concrete wall and a roof that seemed to float out over space. South facing sliders open onto a covered patio, allowing the public interior spaces to flow outside, creating a larger venue for activity in good weather. Beyond the concrete dividing wall are primary bedroom suites and a yoga studio, that face a smaller ‘private court.’

Boulder, CO

On project team, completed and helped with: _ Project design _ Lighting and upholstery design / coordination _ Completed 2018 Studded leather walls, swirling lassos of light, and a warm walnut bar with backlit steer skulls overhead showcase Corrida’s Basque influence, while floor-to-ceiling windows and a large penthouse patio celebrate views up to the foothills. The primary lighting is a lyrical line flowing through the dining space towards a western facing patio. The kitchen is partially screened by custom wine and aged meat coolers which serve as intermediaries between the cooked and the raw. *Phots by James Florio

marketing + exhibits _ arch11 Dairy Arts Center, Month of Modern Exhibit The Dairy Arts Center in Boulder was kind enough to invite Arch 11 to have an exhibit in their showcase of local design firms in 2019, and I was lucky enough to be tasked with the build out and delivery of these materials.

My work included: _ Fabrication of plywood model stands with vinyl graphics _ Fabrication of projector armatures _ Hanging assembly for frosted acrylic panels _ Animating + editing footage for projector loops

Architectural Desires

An emerging ideology at Arch11 was to think about our work as always pertaining to the ‘architectural desires’ of: shelter, pleasure, function, and beauty. The goal in defining these terms was to create a framework of thinking about the beginnings of projects, and what they strive to do. This ad campaign was part of unpacking those ideas - showing the relationships between that set of words, built environments, and humans who occupy them.

Design In Bloom Arch11 was invited to compete in the 2018 Design in Bloom event, where participants were asked to create a vessel for flowers. Our approach was to question the traditional relationship between flower and container.

By casting various foliage in resin, we turned the flower material into something machineable - a material we could work on/with like others common to building practice.

Somewhere in the 21st Century

This work wonders about the importance of data and how we process, procure, and assign meaning to it. In a reality adjacent to our own - but not as different as we may expect - these objects look outward and inward, not knowing what they are searching for, simply knowing that they must search. For me, my own narratives played an important role in the making of all the artifacts present, yet I think the work itself has outlived that past and adopted one of its own. Fragments of that thread are still present - and still somewhat pertinent - but only as tool for you to wonder about the creatures here and come up with theories of what they might be.

crop house _ undergrad 5th year project, fall _ Studio work presented and published at ASCA National Conference 2016 The crop house project proposes a development of I-40 within the bounds of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park as a corridor of autonomous agriculture. Optimal conditions of developable sites include (but are not limited to): concentric topographies, proximity to highway / existing street infrastructure, topography radius in the range of 5-20 miles, and stable soil conditions.

Houses within this system are built as mobile pieces of farming infrastructure, where inhabitants act more as pilots or conductors than work hands. Highly specialized systems of agriculture come into contrast with old pre-conceptions about land and ownership, questioning how we understand food in the anthropocene.

Elements of the crop house oscillate depending on use and season. Although some instrument functions are utilitarian, they implicitly augment experiential qualities of the house as they are deployed / implemented.

GENERAL Biowaste [01] tubes have red connectors. This is where shower, toilet, and sink contents are sent. Use the dispose-all to transport food compost from the kitchen to this tank.

Fertilizer [02] tubes have green connectors. In the months of March, April, and May - add 01 gallon of fertilizer to the crop hydration tank [04] before deployment. The siphon valve can be found on the outdoor interface [15]. Clean water [03] tubes have blue connectors and connect to sinks, showers, and faucets.

Charging and tank refilling / siphoning at charge stations is managed through the interface in control room [07]. The interface tutorial is pre-loaded on the main screen.

In case of emergency or maintenance, central hub staff can be called and will arrive via the person transport platform [06]. This can also be used to travel back to the central hub. Dial code #37-R to request.

The retractable combine [14] is deployed via the control room.

Schedules and coordinates based on Harvest Pattern A will be sent to the main interface. Grain is pulled through the combine and sifter [13] and along the underside of the house where it can be gathered by the outdoor interface to be sent back to the Central Hub via food transport bags [05].

abroad in finland _ undergrad 4th year, summer In the summer of 2014 I studied abroad in Helsinki, Finland at Aalto University, along with 12 other students. One of our main projects was to create a set of as-built drawings of Erkki Huttunen’s Rajamäen Church. Using traditional methods of measure, drafting, and model making we constructed these drawings and section model over the first half of our semester.
