About

Educated in architecture, Nate is a leader and quick learner. His work explores the intersections of spatial design, imagery, physical making, digital modeling, and narrative. He has worked professionally as an aspiring architect, learning practice and project management while honing skills in design, coordination, and organization. In his free time, he is an artist, youth sports coach, bar food enthusiast, and supporter of his friends, family, plants, and cat.

Using digital rendering and illustration, his art investigates the role of the computer as a medium to create spaces unimaginable. This amounts to immersive works presented through media such as video, illustration, and 3d printing. Through the synthesis of these ideas, Nate’s works use intricate visuals to tell stories.

In a professional setting, he mixes this creativity with optimism, collectivism, and a focus on communication to lead architectural concepts and proposals. With interest in all phases and scales of design from large-scale master planning to small-scale fabrication, he seeks to improve the ways in which architects can communicate and present their trade.

CONCRETE JUNGLE

Concrete Jungle began as a tongue-in-cheek sculpture, a final monument to Earth long after humanity has drained her of her resources.

This is not the end of the world, No matter how dire it may seem for the current inhabitants. Using traditional architectural motifs and iconography, the sculptural machine works as a literal manifestation of a tree – creating a piece of architecture solely for the benefit of the organism which once harbored humanity’s salvation.

What is our role in repairing the organism to which we have caused irreparable damage? Or is the assumption of our superiority futile? The project seeks to examine the next phases of Earth and its story beyond mankind’s period of domination, the symbiocene.

The tree has long been a crucial part of the ecosystem and man’s survival on earth. This architectural machine seeks to give back to trees in the most straightforward way possible - by giving them an early retirement.

The Concrete Jungle replicates the processes and effects of photosynthesis of a tree in a forest. The machine, represented architecturally through drawing, image making, and film, takes its shape through iconography of the parts of a tree and pure elemental forms. Filters, water storage, and solar collection idealize the tree through biomimicry, built in an element of sharp biological and human - created contrast.

An understood analogy, the project will be the encapsulation of a band-aid on the wounds humanity has left - but the planet is far more eternal than humanity, and Earth will go on.

The design team was prompted with a unique opportunity to re-home a one-of-a-kind and unique sculpture. While considering many sites, it became clear that the design language must walk a thin line between complimenting and competing with the artwork.

At the time of its completion, the sculpture was pushing the technological limits of its medium while showcasing them. To honor the artist’s mastery of their craft, the articulation of architectural detail and design solutions must strive to that benchmark. Many iterations through different forms, orientations, and skin treatments led to the parametric skin proposal.

By centering the building’s focus on the sculpture, many formal moves can be more focused and simplified. While the building form stays mostly rectilinear for efficiency of interior planning, the skin can move and undulate in response to, and in support of the sculpture, entrances, and other programmatic needs.

LINCOLN FIRE PROTOTYPE

2017 - University of Nebraska

Revit, Rhinoceros, Photoshop, Illustrator Studio Proposal

The fire station is a unique blend of utilitarianism and humanism - a physical manifestation of the phrase: living where you work. This project seeks to reconcile this juxtaposition, with programs that require proximity, but desire separation.

Through the careful balance of visual and physical connection and separation, the project will celebrate this duality of spaces.

Formally, the project is indicative of its programs, celebrating the signification of form in architecture, while incorporating new technologies and systems. Taking cues from post-modernists, the project becomes an honest representation of its use.

Prompted with a simple program of a linear office bar, the articulation of the architectural skin became crucial to the building being a landmark among a growing skyline. On the prominent, westfacing facade, the shader skin repetition is broken by key building nodes. The entrances, atrium, and patios create a void in the uniform grid and use bold brand colors and open transparency from street level. These large stroke design choices, accompanied with the bold solar array on the roof create a high-tech landmark as the pinnacle of a growing urban core.

Proposal Concept and Imagery

With the recent growth of suburban sprawl, cities like Omaha are prime for re-densification of urban cores. Located adjacent to history and revitalization, the development will become a mixed use landmark that looks outwards as much as it does inwards.

Occupying one whole city block, the development consists of a base level of civic use and retail, bifurcated by a public plaza. Above the main level, the South Tower houses a wellness and athletics center, while the taller North Tower contains over 250 residential units. Below grade, a large parking structure gives back to the city, while connecting and coordinating crucial engineering needs. These masses are connected through a sky bridge to encourage circulation throughout the site, while also framing the plaza below.

While staying fiscally responsible, the project uses simple geometries to exemplify the bold interventions in form to create a landmark for public placemaking.

Proposal Concept through Construction Documents / Admin

The budget-conscious addition to Montessori Children’s Room Elementary School uses careful and intentional moments to find design opportunities. In addition to budget limitations, the split-level site and existing school created complex problems with intelligent solutions.

In the Multipurpose Room, wood structure and soft cork flooring are not only welcoming, but beneficial for sound and safety.

CARSON HQ PROPOSAL & DETAIL

2018-2020 - Leo A Daly Sketchup, Enscape, Revit, Lumion, Photoshop Proposal Concept, Documentation, Detailing

Carson, an Omaha-based financial and wealthplanning firm, anticipates tremendous growth during the next decade. Our design concept for the campus resulted from research of Carson’s unique brand, mission and values. The final concept includes two signature glass structures connected by “Carson Commons”, all emerging from the Heartwood Preserve development.

The glass building envelope will reinforce Carson’s value of “transparency” while integrated amenities such as courtyards, a rooftop terrace and “Carson Commons” that will reflect the worklive-play philosophy of its workforce.

Located along the mall of Wayne State College, Benthack Hall aims to enhance and modernize space for its teaching college, counseling-careers, and family- and consumer-science programs.

Warm wood elements render portals into each classroom and lab and provide a sense of arrival. Synergy between exterior and interior apertures on the north side of the building invites the students in to learn and create a connection to the main circulation of campus.

THE INTERSECTIONS

2021-2022 - Leo A Daly Sketchup, Enscape, Photoshop, InDesign Master Plan and Proposal Concept

With an ambitious plan from the developer, the design team set out to rebuild a blighted sliver of land, deep in Omaha’s scars of redlining. The project would sit between an interstate highway, rail line spurs, and bridges that attempt to stitch the long standing neighborhood back together.

The development would become a catalyst for health and wellness in the under-served neighborhood, promoting community growth. The five buildings, housing programs ranging from a public health clinic to skate park, playfully sit along the intense topography and become social connectors to the public play fields within.

WINNEBAGO CHILD CARE CENTER

2020-2022 - Leo A Daly Revit, Bluebeam, Sketchup, Photoshop Proposal Concept through Construction Documents

The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska’s urgent effort to preserve its stories, language and traditions across generations lies at the heart of this childcare center. The design serves as a scaffold for storytelling, creating layers of meaning out of its parti, site relationship, geometry, organization, materials, patterns and colors. Its program of education, play and training serves the wellness and developmental needs of the whole family.

Ho-Chunk stories infuse the design in abstract form, teaching history. A hub-and-spoke parti embodies the Thunderhawk, conveying strength and protection. Program spaces extend from a central Rotunda whose shape recalls a traditional Ciporoke dwelling.

Wings extend from the rotunda, to the southwest, the daycare wing engages children at each developmental level, including special needs. Outdoor play equipment follows the existing topography, naturally separating age groups. The east wing offers career training for other members of the community.

This design and investigation embraced a similar social awareness and context to that of Danish Modernism. Where De Stijl furniture generally lacked functionality because of comfort, the Functionalism from Danish precedents can fill in the rest. Production should be a key part of the design, as to not make the chair sacred.

This investigation has no intentions of becoming exclusive, with the intent of being widely and easily produced on a large scale. This project has no intentions of becoming an art piece, or conversely becoming as banal as a restaurant chair. The success of this investigation will come though the realization of an every day chair that improves the lives of those who experience it.

Targeted to be an anchor of Heartwood Preserve, the new headquarters will be a catalyst and anchor of activity for the growing development. The project will collect four unique programs in commercial workplace, retail, clinical space, and distribution.

The buildings are bisected by a public park that aligns with a main axis of the development. Above the public level, the spaces are bridged formally and with a continuous facade. The building’s facade acts as a metaphoric and literal skin for shading and privacy, carefully wrapping the glass form within.
