Crossroads Performing Arts Center 412 E 18th St, Kansas City, MO

This is the Kansas City Crossroads newest Performance venue offering three unique performance spaces for The building’s most striking feature is the expansive glass curtain wall stretching across the east elevation.

The heart of the building lies in its three specialized performance venues, each tailored to a specific discipline. For the avantgarde, a Blackbox experimental theater offers a flexible, “blank canvas” environment for boundary-pushing productions. Nearby, a dedicated dance studio provides an intimate, sprung-floor setting perfect for small-scale ballet and contemporary movement. However, the crown jewel is the small recital hall, a space defined by its sophisticated acoustic paneling and a meticulously placed skylight. At specific times of day, the sun tracks directly bathing the performers in natural light and creating a transcendent, site-specific experience for the audience.

Designed for both intimacy and sonic precision, this 300-seat recital hall serves as a sophisticated “instrument” in its own right. The angled walls are strategically positioned to eliminate standing waves and flutter echoes, ensuring that even a solo violin reaches the back row with crystal clarity. This geometry is complemented by acoustic paneling that wraps the entire interior. The result is a warm, “live” environment creating a truly immersive auditory experience.

Downtown Atlanta Apartments 409 SW Nelson St, Atlanta GA

Rising five stories above the vibrant streets just blocks from Mercedes-Benz Stadium, this modern apartment complex offers a sophisticated urban retreat in the heart of Atlanta. The architecture prioritizes outdoor living and social connectivity, centered around an expansive interior courtyard and a sun-drenched pool deck that serves as the building’s social anchor. To maximize flow and resident access, a sleek skybridge spans the gap between the two main residential wings, providing a seamless high-altitude connection that overlooks the stadium. At the ground level, the development gives back to the neighborhood with a curated exterior park and a lush community garden offering a peaceful, green counterpoint to the high-energy atmosphere of the nearby stadium district.

Cancer Research Center 151st & Quivira Rd, Olathe, KS worked on with: Alex Reyes

Located in Olathe, KS, this Cancer Research facility is designed as a hub for holistic healing.

The facility seamlessly integrates essential clinical services, featuring high-tech imaging rooms for precise diagnostics, dedicated clinic rooms for specialist consultations, and an on-site physical therapy area tailored to oncology rehabilitation.

The heart of the treatment space is the infusion suite, which offers semi-private and private bays.

To further alleviate the stress of treatment, the center’s architecture emphasizes a connection to nature. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide soothing views of the tranquil, Japanese-inspired healing garden located at the rear of the building. This outdoor sanctuary, complete with water features and serene ponds, offers a contemplative space for patients and families to find a moment of peace and reflection amidst their medical journey.

Kansas City Film Row Museum 1700 Central St, Kansas City, MO

At the edge of the historic Film Row district, this Film museum serves as a striking architectural gateway, positioned to provide a dramatic visual frame that draws visitors down into the creative pulse of the Crossroads. Standing in the shadow of the iconic Kauffman Center, the building’s orientation acts as a “lens,” using its physical form to focus the eye toward the neighborhood’s galleries and studios. The interior is a multidisciplinary hub, featuring expansive gallery and exhibition spaces that celebrate visual arts alongside a dedicated classroom for community workshops. Bridging the gap between the district’s cinematic history and modern performance, the facility includes a state-of-the-art movie theater for indie screenings and a versatile outdoor stage at the rear, perfectly suited for open-air plays and live performances under the Kansas City skyline.

Art Gallery/ Wine Bar 9th and Pennsylvania St, Lawrence, KS

Art Gallery and Wine Bar Nick Peterson Arch 208

The inspiration for my project was drawn from the angular charicteristics of tongs in which blacksmiths use. This is relevant to the site because of the fact that it used to be a blacksmith, and it also has a shape that has sharp qualities, which are similar to the sorts of products that a blacksmith would create.

This art gallery and wine bar in Lawrence serves as a striking dialogue between the city’s industrial past and its contemporary creative spirit. Built around an original blacksmith’s house, the structure preserves the historic core while expanding its utility into a modern social hub. The building is defined by angular geometry that emulates the sharp forms of the metalwork and sculptures crafted within a forge.
