“Now, dealing with problems is part of educating oneself. It’s a process that never ends.Life is about change. Time doesn’t stop. Life is a problem after problem situation, so, it should be something you come to embrace because it is exactly these challenges that make you aware of being alive.”

Defining a space, and a program for your personal usage.

This design, is one that divides a total of 4 programs into distinct zones. Each zone is suported, and suspended from a network of frames. These frames serve ans portals in which to view the object, and define each “Box”.

Entertainment, relaxation, Library, and utility all are spaces included in the design. One destinctive element of the design is the view port that is extended away from the main frame. This element highlights the importance of views, through and from the “Scanctua No paint or artificial color is used, as a sign of the raw and natural elements.

Bellington|House

Drawn from a hat, the concept of simple and complex was selected to define, and produce into a 3D object. In this design, the complexisty is displayed as a series of smaller elements. While the simplistic elements are the basic triangular shape, it is also viewed as the object is rotated. The only quadrangle element in the design is one in which the simplistic side and the complex side is physically divided. The raw materials are used in a way to define the simplistic and the complex, with the large simplistic element is black, and the complex “zone” has wood and metal mesh.

The Kaminsky House by Architect Antoine Predock, was one of the first of many houses that was a part of his archtiecture career. The task for this project was to highlight the main elements of the house, in a way that highlights, but changes the way you experience the house.

The original design is a simple shape, with a variety of outdoor spaces looking over the New Mexico Desert.

Views, major elements and windows were the focus for the “abstraction” of this Predock design.

The AIA Committee on Design invited architects, students, and allied design professionals to submit sketches to the international 2009 COD Ideas Competition: Listening to the Past, Looking to the Future: A House for today.

In this unique sketch competition, submitters are challenged to explore the legacy of Modernism

Founders Room|Concept Holland|Perfoming Ars Center IOver the last decade The Holland Performing Arts Center, has become a staple for the Omaha Community’s performing arts scene. In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Performing Arts Center, the client was looking for a way to enhance the experience for all patrons, while renovating the Founders Room.

The Lounge renovation was designed to celebrate the Performing Art Center’s 10-year anniversary as a home for world-class artistry. The project reactivates what was once a 3,000-square‐foot under-utilized formal space into an inviting lounge for donors. Guests now socialize comfortably in one of several intimate seating areas or while perched at the sleek bar. Linear architectural elements and Platner furnishings finished in rich neutral hues and exotic wood tones emphasize the lounge’s timeless appeal. A light fixture inspired by the dynamic properties of a sound wave honors the finely engineered acoustics of the building and gives life to the space by serving as a visually stimulating focal point visible from the core circulation lobby. Clear, acrylic tubes symbolize the invisible force of sound and, when lit, embody the Performing Arts’ vision to create a vibrant destination for extraordinary experiences that engage, inspire and connect. The Custom built 8’X32’ polished black box, conceals the 384 TraxOn LED lights. A custom built metal frame is divided in two sections, and hoisted from the structure above. 384 Polished acrylic rods are fastened within the box, and are directly adjacent to the LED lighting source. The box itself is divided into 24 sections, with each section holding 16 lights and rods. For ease of maintenance, each individual section is removable by folding the side panel down, and sliding each panel out.

Founders Room||Light 384 Holland|Perfoming Ars Center Holland Performing Arts Center Founders room has been a place for gathering since the opening of the Holland Center 10 years ago. The Founders room is an exclusive room within the Holland Center. Visible from the Courtyard, the room itself had to potential to become a backdrop for any event. Visible from all areas of the lobby, the light seeks to enhance the experience of patrons visiting the HPAC for various events. The light consist of a series of 384 extrude acrylic tubes in the shape reminisent of a sound wave. Each rod has a Traxon puck light fixed at the end that is concealed within the black box. The light has a variety of settings that allow the users to adjust the lighting effect based on the types of events that are occuring. The overall dimensions of the light are 32’ X8’and is suspended in two seperate halves by an electronic hoist.

Paremetric Design tools streamlined the construction and design process of the acrylic tubes.

The bar design consists of a single folded plane to enhance the elegant experience within the space. Kiewit, Miller Electric, Designer Woods and HDR were apart of the construction team.

UNO||Parking Structure University|Nebraska Omaha As the school continues to develop as a metropolitan university, this parking facility will be an integral component in the campus’ infrastructure. Serving both students in the adjacent residence halls and the campus population at large, the new 1,400+ car parking facility will provide a safe and functional facility that is easy to navigate and will enhance the campus visually with a simple, bold expression.

The design of the new parking facility will reinforce its position on campus. In order to achieve a simple, functional, and beautiful solution, several complex elements will be woven together addressing key issues which include safety and security, functionality, durability and maintenance, cost , site constraints, sustainable design, and aesthetics.

Based on nature (specifically, a stand of reeds), the façade is a series of vertical precast concrete “reeds” wrapping the functional box of the garage. The precast reeds will allow a maximum amount of sunlight in, and views out during the day as well as views in at night, providing an open, airy, and safe environment.

At the corners and mid span of the stand of precast reeds are the stair and elevator towers. Substantially constructed of glass, including glass backed elevators, these vertical circulation elements continue the flow of sunlight and views, again furthering the open nature of the design

Rental Car Facilty|Eppley Omaha Airport Authority The Airport Authority has developed a long range master plan. The challenge is a multi-phased plan that retains all components, in place and operational during the implementation of the master plan. The 1,500 acre site is located just four miles north of the Central Business District. The site is bound by the Missouri River to the north, east, and south and an oxbow cutoff lake to the west with access to the airport between the two bodies of water. Â As the first element of the master plan to be implemented, while relatively modest in scale, the architectural language will be established as a simple form, a box of metal and glass. Modulating the overall volume is the customer service counter which reads as a single unit with sub-divisions indicating individual car rental companies. Â The structure of the box is conventional with an orthogonal grid of standard steel components. Overlaid on the site, the orthogonal grid was in direct conflict with the vehicular flow. Rather than opting for a less rational structure for the box, resolution was achieved by manipulating the two story columns out of plumb.

Economy of movement by floating the Customer Service Building above the existing vehicular drives has allowed a minimal impact on the existing site with no need to consume additional undeveloped land. While the CSB is not large, a more conventional approach would have a massive domino effect on the consumption of land. As the master plan unfolds, the selected scheme also allows for all new construction to remain with minimal adjustments being required. Materials including concrete, steel, glass, metal panel, plaster and wood can be substantially sourced and/or fabricated locally and at the end of the buildings life, recycled. Solar orientation allows for the least impact cooling while providing ample daylight and views. The large expanse of glass is oriented toward the northeast with small punched openings on the southwest.

Midwest Labratories Office Design/Skateland renovation Midwest Labrotories in Omaha, NE has been a long standing family owned company for the past 50 years. As the company continues to grow in their area, they sought a new vision for the future. As the majority of services are all currently jambed into existing buildings that were not initially intended for the high sensitivity of the lab work that is being done by their team, a desire to expand, and renovate office spaces was a top priority for them.

After purchasing the existing skateland building, they looked for ways in which they could modify the space to incorporate a diversity of programs, primarily office spaces for their employees. THe remainder of the space would serve as shipping and receiving for samples from clients, recreation areas for employees, large gathering space for community outreach as well as educational opportunities for the public to become more engaged with what Midwest Labs has been doing for the past 50 years essentially out of sight.

This project not only establishes a more efficient workflow for the company, but also serves as a foundation for the identity of who Midwest Labs is as a company: sophisticated, Attention to Detail, Diverse, Technology, and Nature are all key words identified as key points for the initial design concept of this facility.

University of Nebraska-Omaha MAG Partners Housing Concept As the University of Nebraska Sets its eyes on the next 15 years, it is evident that enrollment is projected to grow exponentially. With that, a desire to accomodate more students living on campus. The proposed project presented by MAG partners, looks to follow suite for the 20 Year Masterplan put together by the University. This project looks to take advantage of unused space along the Soccer Field, and transform it into a dynnamic student living opportunity.

WIth a lack of public student accomodations on the East side of campus, the project also looks to incorporate various Student commons and student study zones within the facility. All of these spaces would have a unique experience with the live action on the soccer field during game day, as well as during practice times. Establishing the Eastern edge of campus as a destination, and a beacon from Elmwood Park and beyond, this project sets forward to embrace the existing context, while providing a glimpse into the future for Campus life on UNO.

41 Prime Steakhouse HUGO ENTERPRISES An existing building in the Omaha Metro area, was selected by HUGO Enterprises, a development and real estate team ran by Joe Ricketts, as a site for a new high-end Steakhouse. The steakhouse was sought to be an opportunity for Mr. Ricketts to serve a high end experience for patrons, to enjoy natural raised Bison steaks, as well as provide a one of a kind experience for patrons.

Located in the Heart of the Midwest, the project sought inspiration from the history of the site, the context of the economy (Ranching, and Bison production) as well as the existing building.

Throughout concept development, I was the main point of contact for the client, as well as with engineers and consultants, Including Parts and Labor, a boutique Interior design firm out of New York City. The project ultimately was one in which a large portion of the work was coordinated by myself, and the Holland Basham architecture team.

In addition to the steakhouse, the client sought to provide a diverse experience with a cigar lounge, roof top bar and a retail component on site.

The project was developed and modeled in Rhino, as well as Revit, through Design Documentation before ultimately being abandoned by the client.
