SUSTAINABLE SMART HOME
Project Background-
We were to create a smart home fit for a group of individuals in Kansas City, Kansas. We focused on a social issue that affected these individuals for our design. We also were to account for LEED, and sustainable smart technology. Our site was located in Strawberry Hill, and consisted of a 25’ X 125’ home.
Concept-
A design that allows for connection and privacy in a safe residential space. All materials used support the idea of simplicity, and finding comfort in one’s home. The use of indoor and outdoor spaces allow for the residents to experience connection with nature, and within the home.

CO-WORKING OFFICE SPACE
Project Background-
This project takes place on the entry level of the Two Light Luxury Apartment complex in Kansas City, MO. The requirements were a list of programming elements that were to fit into 6,500sqft. We created a concept to center our design around, and showed that concept through furniture and material selection.
Concept-
“Tranquility in Nature.” Bringing the tranquil elements of nature Indoors creates a space for peaceful work environments, one that fosters deep thought and collaborative ideas within a serene workspace for all users. The cool and natural tones of nature will be brought inside and adapted to the work environment, along with the natural and organic shapes in order to provide a space for organic thought.

PATTERN CAFE
Project Background-
In this project we were to design a cafe located in Union Station in Kansas City, MO. The space available to use was the Grand Hall. We were required to create a cafe based upon a pattern in a culture of our choosing. We also were required to have different seating areas, and to hold at least 100 people at a time.
Concept-
“Kumain.” The inspiration from the many different patterns that the Filipino culture has to offer created my cafe. I used the unique lines and shapes of the patterns made for specific people in the Filipino culture to create the unique partitions in the cafe. Each divider is repeated slightly differently throughout the space in order to show the beauty in different patterns in one space.

ALZHEIMER’S FACILITY
Project Background-
For this project we were tasked to create an Alzheimer’s facility inside of Vivacity Memory Care, in Dallas TX. Our main goals were to create an inviting and exciting place where residents can enjoy their stay, and family can enjoy their visits. We also made sure to include furniture that were fit for the elderly population.
Concept-
“Southern Hospitality” By creating a warm and welcoming environment through integrating southern charm lifestyle aspects, these residents will be connected to a familiar and friendly life they can feel relaxed, at home, and free to do things that they have always known as normal. Southern hospitality design will lead the way in making this memory care facility a home.

KANSAS CITY AIRPORT
Project Background-
In the final studio project we had the option to choose between multiple types of projects, and also develop a secondary emphasis, and a set of construction documents. In my project I chose to re-design the Kansas City airport, and develop a secondary emphasis in wayfinding.
Concept- Heartland Hospitality
Inspired by the rich tapestry of Kansas City’s culture and its vibrant community spirit, the design aims to transcend the conventional airport experience, offering travelers a sanctuary of familiarity and connection. Through the use of warm and inviting materials, and a wide range of amenities that cater towards all groups of people, this airport strives to be a place that welcomes people in and provides a
