OUTREACH
Outreach is a machine dedicated to restoring the health of the ecosystem and showcasing methods in which architecture can enhance that. It works to filter the excess water by recognizing the importance of the natural ecosystem surrounding it. Through this filtration process, Outreach aims to slow the water flow to help restore the site’s natural balance.
The premise of Outreach stems from the negative impacts of excess water, such as flooding of the landscape from water runoff. It achieves this by using nature to slow down the water by first: utilizing prairie plants with long roots to help absorb the water while repairing the soil. Second, creating bioswales allows the ground to absorb water at its natural rate while preventing the excess from flowing further onto the site. Third, terracing to slow down the flow of runoff water entering the site. Finally, an intensive green roof which absorbs and contains any excess water flowing from the roadways. By utilizing these systems, Outreach creates a triangulation of systems that help repair the site, control the water flow, and contain any excess water entering the site. Arch

The main storm drain working to collect water on the site is located at the NorthEast corner. Assuming is a 10” drain, we found that that drain would be able to collect 24,000 gallons of water per hour. Knowing that, we would have to add 16 more 10” drains to be able to support the water flow on the site without causing any flooding. The other storm drain of concern is at the SouthWest corner of the site. Iowa receives about 36” of rain every year. When it does rain, a large portion of that rain comes from runoff from Lincoln Way and enters onto the site through this strom drain. This has caused many trees around this drain to die. When the site does flood, it would start on the SouthWest side and then gradually fill the creek portion until that ultimately fills as well.

HARLEM STUDIOS WEST
WELLS PRECAST CONCRETE COMPETITION: FIRST PLACE PRIZE
Harlem Studios West is designed to provide low- income housing opportunities to the residents in Harlem, New York. The material choice for this project is precast concrete which allowed for modular design and low- income feasability. The main floor and basement contain a gallery space to express harlem’s history of art. Each floor above are ither one or two bedroom units. The top floor even includes a community work space for residents.
This project was a part of a design competition sponsored by Wells Concrete. This challenged us to use precast in new and interesting ways. Our project recieved first place for it’s innovative use of CNC forms for the facade, transparent concrete, and modular design to push the precast industry to new opportunities.

SPOKE SUITES
San Francisco is a very bikerfriendly city, and many people use it as their main form of transportation. For this mixeduse project, I wanted to help enhance the biking culture in San Francisco and provide more housing for the area.
Spoked Suites will provide a high-end bike shop that provides a unique experience inspired by the functional and mechanical nature of bikes as an aesthetic.
In the shop you can also find bike rentals and a bike repair shop up in the loft. Surrounded by a glass curtain wall that exposes the spoke-like structure, the bike shop is exposed to the park, allowing bikes on display to be seen.
On the top two floors, the screen visually separates the residential units and the bike shop.
With views angled to the park and interior corridor, residents are encouraged to spend time outdoors and participate in the biking culture.
