01 JOBBERS CANYON RESIDENCE
LOCATION: Omaha, NE
STUDIO LEAD: Marianne Remboldt
YEAR: Fall 2024
DESCRIPTION
The Jobbers Canyon Residence is a visionary mixed-use, multifamily residential building, seamlessly blending modern living with essential conveniences. Boasting a clinic, convenience store, daycare, rooftop pool, and an extensive array of amenities, the building offers an elevated lifestyle for its residents. Situated prominently at the corner of Harney and 11th St, the residence is nestled in the heart of the historic Old Market district of Omaha, Nebraska.
The Old Market serves as a cornerstone of Omaha’s rich cultural and historical identity, deeply influencing the design and significance of the Jobbers Canyon Residence. Emerging as a bustling commercial hub in the late 19th century, the area became a vital economic and social engine for the city. Once home to warehouses and wholesalers, the district evolved over the decades into a vibrant cultural enclave, known for its brick streets, historic architecture, and thriving arts and dining scenes.

Jobbers Canyon in Omaha was a historic district that showcased the city’s industrial prominence during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Spanning 24 buildings, it was the largest collection of industrial architecture in the U.S. The area housed warehouses and factories central to Omaha’s growth as a hub for commerce and distribution. Despite its historical significance, Jobbers Canyon was controversially demolished in 1989, sparking debates about preservation versus urban development and leaving a lasting cultural legacy.

UNIT MATERIALS
Warm finishes in a residential unit create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that enhances the overall living experience. Materials such as wood, earthy tones, and textured fabrics evoke a sense of coziness and intimacy, making the space feel more inviting. Warm finishes also complement natural light creating a soothing environment that promotes relaxation.. They can be especially effective
in colder climates or urban settings where they counteract stark or impersonal architectural elements, focusing on a sense of connection and home. Additionally, warm finishes are versatile and timeless, allowing for a blend of traditional and modern design aesthetics that appeal to a broad range of tastes.

THE STAR’S SIGNIFICANCE
The concept of a star in film is deeply linked to Hollywood, Kansas City, and the film industry. Since the 1920s, Kansas City has been a key film distribution hub, especially for Hollywood. Over time, major studios like Disney and Warner Brothers operated there, making the idea of a star central to the industry. The star is evident in Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, Kansas City’s star strip and newspaper, and film terminology, reflecting a strong connection between these elements.

LOCATION: Lawrence, Ks
STUDIO LEAD: Keith Van de Riet
YEAR: Fall 2023
DESCRIPTION
The Ryan Gray Shade Pavilion stands as a beacon of joy and creativity. The design behind the pleated structure was envisioned as a space that would not only provide shade and shelter but also ignite the imaginations of young minds.

CONCEPT ITERATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The project began with the design team dividing into four groups, each tasked with creating a shade structure in which one would ultimately be selected for further progression. My group envisioned a structure inspired by a tree line that would incorporate blues and yellows to mimic komorebi. After lots of discussion, our project would be moving forward and undergoing numerous refinements and enhancements.

FABRICATION
The fabrication process proved to be an intricate endeavor, demanding a significant collective effort to bring the Ryan Gray Shade Pavilion to fruition.
Within the fabrication process, a myriad of tasks such as welding, plasma cutting, scribing, grinding, sanding, cutting, threading, riveting, and much more were meticulously executed. This phase of the project demanded approximately 2 months of dedicated labor, with roughly 3 weeks spent on-site for the hands-on construction of the pavilion.
