OURSTORY
How do we want to live as we age?
OurStory is a prototype aging-ready small house for Omaha that seek affordability at the intersection of design, finance, and policy. OurStory design can function as standalone small homes, accessory dwelling units to existing homes, or as part of dense cottage courts and cluster communities using community land trusts or other innovative land tenancy regimes.

THE SHELDON HUB
The Sheldon Hub aims to solve the challenges of old with the new, the relationship between architecture and art, the relationship between museum and community. The Sheldon Hub was developed in a way that would bring together educational, creative, cultural, and research activities to make the building more than just about art.

The material palette for The Sheldon Hub was designed to complement the existing framework of the original building and to create a seamless transition between the old and new spaces, while also providing a contemporary aesthetic.



By incorporating significant materials and elements from Sheldon, we created a sense of continuity and flow throughout the building. The result is a vibrant and dynamic space that enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of the site, providing a hub for creative, cultural, and research activities.
CPBS FABRICATION FACILITY
The project explored Circular Economies and promote activities that do not “extract” from a community but provide a system where work, economic, production, and the built environment are self-sustaining. The project also investigated different types of lumber and its effects on future sustainability, tree diversity, and regional forestry biomes.

UNMC MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER
The UNMC campus lacks sufficient facilities for students mental and physical health. In this studio, we explored a new way of designing to remove the stigma of seeking help. Through combined waiting and study areas, amenities that invite people inside, and an amphitheater. The project demonstrates the significance of basophilic design and materiality in the design of mental and wellness facilities.
