KCAI DoArc

College of Architecture

Project Sector: High Education

Location: Kansas City, MO

Duration : 10 Weeks

Semester : Spring 2024

Institution: University of Nebraska – Lincoln

Instructor: Dr. Peter Ol’shavsky

Partners: Noor Alsudani, Grace Helmuth

This project centers around a new Department of Architecture (DoArc) at the Kansas City Art Institute in Kansas City, Missouri, a mass timber structure with a curtain wall envelope and double-skin facade made of terra-cotta baguette panels.

The sustainable nature of DoArc’s design allows the building to act as a learning tool, exemplifying state of the art material technology and envrionmental response. This also extends into the building’s landscape, which showcases contextual integration, native planting schemes, and stormwater control strategies.

The department’s architectural program illuminates the discipline’s ability to bring together people of different backgrounds, which is coupled by the structure’s organization.

King’s View Apartments

Urban Waterfront Housing Development

Project Sector: Multi-Family Residential / Mixed-Use

Location: Dartmouth/Halifax, NS

Duration : 8 Weeks

Semester : Fall 2025

Institution: Washington University in St. Louis

Instructor: Donald Koster

Partner: N/A

King’s Wharf in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia is being reshaped by rapid waterfront redevelopment: an edge deﬁned by new towers, an expanding harborwalk, and a growing demand for housing that still feels grounded and livable. In this context, the project asks how a residential building can support public life along the harbor while protecting the everyday privacy and comfort of the home, especially in a coastal climate.

King’s View Apartments is a midrise, mixed-use housing proposal organized around layered thresholds. The ground ﬂoor activates the harborwalk with resident-support amenities and small commercial programs, while upper levels group ﬂexible units around the concept of a sheltered outdoor room, intended for year-round use. The architecture focuses on mediation between public and private, exposure and refuge, and largescale development and human-scale dwelling.

Walnut Hill Agora

Community Center & Public Park

Project Sector: Civic/Community

Location: Omaha, NE

Duration : 6 Weeks

Semester : Fall 2024

Institution: University of Nebraska – Lincoln

Instructor: Brain Kelly

Partners: Judy Garces-Garcia, Andy Real, Rebecca Thomas

At the heart of the Walnut Hill neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska sits a neglected park which holds the reminants of a now decomissioned reservoir. Ripe with historic value, this infrastructure has sat neglected and now acts as an ugly divider in this once tight-knit community.

This project aimed to restore the beatuy and life to this historic site, drawing in new people from the surrounidng neighborhoods with a modern design that pays tribute to the hertiage of the area. The community center is intended to act as a modern agora; a place for gathering and interacting with members of the community, and for growing alongside them.

Omaha Amtrak Station Revival

Multimodal Transit Hub and Community Lounge

Project Sector: Transportation / Hospitality

Location: Omaha, NE

Duration : 12 Weeks

Semester : Spring 2025

Institution: University of Nebraska – Lincoln

Instructor: Ashley Byars

Partner: Kayla Hans

On the southern edge of Downtown, Omaha’s Amtrak station sits as an underutilized transportation node, a place that forgot what rail travel once meant to the city of Omaha. This project reimagines this site as a multimodal destination that stitches Downtown to its southern neighborhoods through transit, hospitality, and landscape repair.

Rooted in the city’s transit-oriented development goals, the proposal blends station operations with lodging, dining, and nightlife so the station becomes a place to arrive, stay, and return to.

The architecture draws from the historic American station typology while remaining contemporary in assembly and performance. Prefabricated GFRC cladding, exposed steel arches, perforated brass screens, and a barrel-vault skylight create depth, rhythm, and controlled daylight across the public rooms.
