The Tallinn Nautical Recreation Center is a place for boat enthusiasts, athletes, and casual visitors alike. This “vessel” connects the entry of the site to the Tallinn Bay while it blends land and water on the inside.

Environmental Learning and Research Center is a symbol of our growing awareness to environmental issues over time. The 35 foot wide “strips” that make up the exterior walls express the notion of the impact we can make, which can then set things in motion and start a movement. With a focus on sustainable design, the outer form acts as a protective shell for what provides the main functions of the building.

The Climate Awareness Center reflects the movement and shifting of the climate and environment around us as well as the daily movement of the busy city streets. Moving panels along with natural vegetation provide intensive shading while letting in daylight. Using sustainable design techniques, the building’s adaptive measures to respond to its environment is an expression of our efforts to not impose on the environment and support climate balance and health.

Sunbeam Library is a place for the people of Tallahassee to expand their horizons of knowledge. Suitable for those of all ages, this library offers an environment for everyone, including areas for computers, lounging, group work, light snacking, and outdoor space. The main challenge for this design was the gradual 40-foot slope running from the northeast corner of the site to the southwest corner. To take on this challenge, parts of the building are partially underground. These areas are places that wouldn’t be exposed to the general public and won’t require much sunlight. There are also spaces that can be accessed from outside underneath the library. Thinking of natural sunlight and how it effects one’s learning and overall mindset, the layout of the library draws inspiration from the radial concept of sun rays.

COMPOSITION

The spaces hang diagonally off the linear main circulation space to create a radial effect for the overall composition of the library.

GREATER BOND COMMUNITY BEAUTIFICATION

The proposal for this park was presented at the State Capital to City Commissioners and the Mayor in the City Chambers. Throughout the course of three months, I worked with a design team* that I formed in the efforts to redevelop areas in a lower-income neighborhood. We took that opportunity to design a park in the heart of the neighborhood to add a nice breath of excitement for the community. The Greater Bond Community lies just outside of Florida A&M University’s campus in Tallahassee. This project is a way to connect FAMU and the Bond community through interaction and enhance the area by creating a vibrant urban scene that attracts families, urban professionals, and students. Amenities of the park include pavilions, playground and open field, basketball court, workout area, and a small dog park. A walking path is also included that runs through the park, connecting more of the community together. Our design helps provide a sense of community and enhances the neighborhood both socially and visually.
