ICE FIELD
MUSEUM
SEMESTER VIII: SPRING 2023
Ice Field is located along the South Harbor in Helsinki, Finland. Inspired by the landscape in Northern Finland, the building is composed of five buildings united under a sloping roof inspired by an iceberg form. The chiseled structure creates incredible opportunities for natural light. Within the masses is a courtyard inspired by the Finnish landscape that allows guests to experience architecture and design inside and out. Supported through a mass timber structure, Ice Field aligns with Finland’s goal of climate neutrality. A week spent studying abroad in Helsinki, Finland aided in understanding local culture and history.

ENTRY/RECEPTION
GRAND HALL
Meeting and personnel space within Ice Field seek to provide users with a variety of options to meet individually, in small groups, or in large training sessions or lectures. These spaces were designed specifically for employees within the museum to train and further their knowledge.
The Grand Hall was designed to host large community and private events. The flexibility of the space allows the host to plan the layout accordingly while also having access to everything that might be needed. Views to the surrounding community as well as the building’s courtyard unite the outdoor environment into the interior space.
DECK
Courtyards are a recurring concept throughout Helsinki. Ice Field’s courtyard takes a dynamic shape that is derived from the iceberg form. The courtyard unites the five buildings and allows visitors a place to relax while enjoying dynamic views.
The deck of Ice Field is located along the south harbor of Helsinki, providing guests of the museum the opportunity to connect with the natural world around them. Benching throughout further enforces the concept of the iceberg form. This dynamic space also allows employees a refreshing space for a moment of clarity throughout their day.
CACHE COMMUNITY
WORKPLACE
SEMESTER V: FALL 2021
Located in the Historic Mill Building in Fayetteville, Arkansas, this office building was designed for CACHE, a local company that serves the Northwest Arkansas creative community. Incorporating sustainable elements & dynamic forms promote health & wellness. Implementing inclusive design practices, the CACHE offices reflect the company’s values throughout each space. Drawing from the organic form and pattern of leaves guided the design process. This project was selected as one of two submissions by the University of Arkansas for the Gensler-Brinkmann Scholarship.

The concept of CACHE
Community stems from the ovate leaf form. This concept is present in open collaboration spaces through greenery and a ceiling element that mirrors the form of the leaf’s veins. The concept is also evident in the curved walls seen throughout the building.
Communication technology allows for a fluid environment that includes employees who prefer to work from home.
Furniture that minimizes acoustic transmission, such as chairs with glider legs, is vital in the workplace.
DESIGN BUILD
FURNITURE DESIGN
SEMESTER VII: FALL 2022
The Cloud Lamp was designed and built as a sculptural lighting piece. Seeking to evoke an ethereal feeling of delicacy, this table lamp was created through 3D printing and CNC Milling. The inspiration stems from the memory of flying through the clouds in an airplane. The Curve Chair was designed and built to be a sculptural lounge chair. Studying the human form and comfortable seating angles produced an ergonomic design. The Curve Chair promotes comfort, elegance, and minimalism. CNC Milling, stacking methods, and hand-sawing were some of the various processes involved in creating this piece.

THE CURVE CHAIR
The Curve Chair’s seat and back were created using over twenty layers of stacked plywood. The legs of the chair are held together by modified dovetail joints.
