MILL VALLEY LOFTS
Affordable Housing on the Atlanta Beltline Located in downtown Atlanta, the Mill Valley Lofts strive to provide affordable housing to recent college graduates. Conceptualized as housing for singles or young couples, The Valley utilizes inexpensive stick frame construction, small unit sizes, and highly efficient passive systems to drive down the cost of living. To offset the unit sizes, the remainder of the lot is given over to a multi-level courtyard, encouraging residents to inhabit these more collaborative spaces. On the lower level these spaces include programs such as a small coffee bar and a flex space, while on the top level they offer a panoramic view of the city. Inside the units, a strong ambiance is created, helping to brighten the mood of the inhabitants. Mood lighting illuminates the rooms with no visible fixtures, while mirrors help to make the rooms feel larger. Operable windows take up a large portion of the exterior walls, allowing for passive cross ventilation. Reconfigurable spaces afford residents the ability to customize their living space, while built-in cabinets maximizes storage and minimizes the amount of furniture which the residents are required to supply themselves.

Mill Valley Lofts | Affordable Housing on the Atlanta Beltline
DESIGNED FOR COMMUNITY The Valley was created as a bridge between the upcoming Hulsey Yards development and the existing Cotton Mill Lofts. Situated in between Sweet Auburn and Cabbage Town the circulation bridge links two supremely walkable areas and offers a fast track to the nearby MARTA station. 130 bicycle spots are available on grade with Hulsey Yards, further expanding travel opportunities. All of this adds up to provide an 89% walk score, and an 85% bike score. DESIGNED FOR CHANGE Designed from the beginning to work with the upcoming Hulsey Yards Neighborhood masterplan and the associated Beltline Overlay, The Valley is designed to create a link between the old and the new. By utilizing similar material choices to the rest of the Cotton Mill, The Valley is designed to age gracefully, developing a pleasant patina. Adding to this are the lattice systems designed to allow the courtyard spaces to become increasingly lush with age. The Valley is also resilient against the loss of power, with a 40kwhr photovoltaic array. A 50,000 gallon cistern for storm water retention supplies the extensive plant life, without increasing water usage. DESIGNED FOR ECOLOGY Due to the existing parking garage on the site, there was zero existing vegetation. Drawing on this as a key point to creating a quality environment, the courtyard system was designed, resulting in 27% of the plan supporting vegetation. This vegetation also helps with sound control.

DESIGNED FOR WATER Thanks to the redevelopment of the existing parking deck on the site, The Valley has no additional drainage issues to contend with. However, rather than simply relying on pre-existing systems, The Valley took a more progressive approach and included a 50,000 gallon water storage system. This was done using an existing gap between the parking deck and Hulsey Yards, where the gap was bridged above for access. As this area had been cut off from natural light, it was no longer needed for its original purpose. DESIGNED FOR ENERGY Boasting a 40kwhr photovoltaic system on the south tower, The Valley is fully capable of powering itself on a daily basis. In addition to this solar array, there are many sustainable systems engineered into the apartments. The thin floor plates created as a result of the courtyard space allow all units to be passively ventilated. A parametric solar facade helps to keep the interior cool during the summer, but is optimized to allow sunlight through in the winter, warming the space without energy usage. This same facade is then inverted for the northern side, creating a privacy screen with the same logic. DESIGNED FOR WELLNESS

The idea of creating a building around an outdoor common area was spurred by the One Atlanta Plan. In this document, the city specifically mentions the importance of health and exercise in low-income housing. By creating a walking loop and encouraging outdoor activity, The Valley hopes to provide this. Equally important to health is access to fresh air and sunlight. By using the outdoor space to create thin floor plates, 100% of the floor space is within 15 feet of a window.

Facade uses two sizes of lumber to create patterns WATERFALL FACADE Designed as a solar defense on the south-facing facade, the Waterfall Facade is a parametric louver system that introduces human scale elements to the building. The gaps between members are specifically designed to block direct solar gain during the summer months, while allowing heat gain during the winter months in order to decrease conditioning costs. Combined with the shadowing by the structural system and the operable windows, rooms can maintain a comfortable temperature 85% of the year exclusively using passive systems.

By varying the size of the louvers and the space between them, the facade creates a textured appearance. On the south side the facade gradiates downwards based on shadow lines, while on the north side the facade gradiates upwards. This gradient on the north side reuses the same system to create a privacy shield for residents.

THE PINNACLE
Interactive Environmental Education Center Located on the site of the future Raccoon Creek Reservoir in Paulding County Georgia, the Pinnacle is a design for a modern interactive environmental research and education center. Developed in concert with Paulding County, Biologists, and Civil Engineers, this center is the result of the people of Paulding County taking an interest in their environmental future and funding the development of an education center. As a proposed solution, The Pinnacle creates a promenade of curated experiences that are designed to engage and teach the public about various integrated green technologies by offering both formal and informal educational programs. The 17,000 square foot research and education center offers a variety of fixed and flexible programmatic elements both inside and outside of the structure, and includes a staggering 22,000 square feet of green-space in the form of two courtyards and a green-roof. Inside the structure there is 6,000 square feet of space designed as public multi-use areas, including a reconfigurable room with direct courtyard access, a public meeting space, and a 150 seat auditorium. Reconfiguring the multi-use room as a classroom, combined with dedicated lab and library spaces and the interactive sky lighting system provides 4,800 square feet of indoor educational space.

Paulding County Commission Finalist
DESIGNED FOR COMMUNITY The community of Paulding County has been involved with the creation of the Richland Creek Reservoir system since the beginning, when in 2006 they voted to fund infrastructure projects to create an independent water supply. As part of the effort to develop the site, the creation of an environmental education center was proposed. Through contact with officials of Paulding County and biology specialists working in the watershed area, the program of this center was developed specifically to suit the needs of Paulding County residents. DESIGNED FOR ECOLOGY The Raccoon Creek watershed is one of the few remaining habitats for the Longleaf Pine. Taking this as inspiration, The Pinnacle treats nature as an integral part of the design through the green-roof and courtyard spaces. These combine to create 22,000 square feet of ecosystems, and account for nearly 96% of the site. This allows for the human footprint on the site to be minimized, even if the building footprint is not. DESIGNED FOR INTEGRATION Integrating the structure with the site quickly became a dominating design decision. Most evident in the north elevation, the massing of the building is directly linked to the topography, extending hills into an organic form. Beyond this, the building is oriented to minimize south facing faรงade elements, and insulated using a green-roof. This green-roof was designed to create a hidden approach from the main road, so that the building simply appears to be another hill on the site. Further stressing site integration is the scatter-line structural system, which raises up this artificial terrain while mimicking the density of the surrounding forest.

DESIGNED FOR DISCOVERY Discovery is integral to both architecture and education. During the design process, significant changes were made as new pathways were explored, as can be seen in the sketch process that led to the final design. This process of exploring pathways was also applied to the building itself however, creating an interactive pathway of experiences that invites one to discover what is over the crest or around the bend. These points are then used to generate the learning experiences for which the research and education center receives its name, educating the public on environmental building technologies. DESIGNED FOR CHANGE
03 SITE MASSING
The Pinnacle promotes long-term reuse and adaptation through the creation 6000 square feet of multi-use areas. By designing these areas with the intent of creating spaces for gatherings, rather than creating specific programs, the areas can adapt over time to changing demands. Additionally, the greenroof will provide a constantly changing approach, as it changes with time.
Circulation and Massing Model
DESIGNED FOR WELLNESS
04 EXTERIOR CIRCULATION
The circulation of The Pinnacle is designed to promote wellness through activity. By treating the greenroof as the primary circulation path, a pleasant winding journey is provided. Multi-use spaces connect directly to the courtyard, and with the glass wall fully opened it encourages events to move between the indoor and outdoor space. The circulation corridors connect directly to the hiking trails found on site, and most of the circulation between programmatic elements is also placed outdoors in covered porches. This all ties together to further encourage people to experience nature, as a key component of wellness.

DESIGNED FOR ECONOMY By developing the program around providing a location for events, the building is able to generate revenue through hosting services. By combining on-site services such as the café and gift shop with the technologies designed for passive climate control, the building would be able to provide a higher value for the cost of operation. DESIGNED FOR RESOURCES The enclosure system of The Pinnacle utilizes the insulating properties of the ground for most of the envelope, especially on the south facing façade. By using direct connection cooling the internal structure temperature can be mostly regulated, therefore only relying on climate control for fine-tuning. DESIGNED FOR WATER

The Pinnacle was designed for passive systems, and therefore is capable of keeping occupants comfortable 48% of the days in a year using them. By minimizing the south facing façade, and harnessing the insulating properties of the green roof, direct heat gain is minimal. Combining this with configurable ventilation systems along the wind-swept north face, and the use of direct ground contact cooling further minimizes cooling needs. The angled greenroof integrates photovoltaic panels.

HELIOSINE
Solar Optimized Facade System A collaborative project with Daryl Rowe, Heliosine is a performance-oriented facade designed to reduce the solar gain in the gallery of the KSU Architecture Building. The facade system we developed has a distinct wave-like appearance. This was developed by taking inspiration from other buildings on campus, namely the Design 2 building which is also used for architecture classes. The Design 2 building has a brick facade with a ripple pattern which was also designed to assist with heat gain. By echoing this facade on the Architecture building, we were trying to tie together two visually distinct buildings which are otherwise separated by a large distance. This design decision was made with the intent of unifying the upper level and lower level students. Ultimately this design ended up being an extremely successful experiment, both visually and performatively. Solar gain was reduced by more than 50%, turning the gallery into a usable space.

The horizontal modules which were created are rotated based on numerous angles created by connecting to an editable curve, defining the looks of the facade.
Angles are derived from each panel to the sun point and then combined with the existing pattern to improve solar performance.
All the angles and geometry sizes are gathered together to create each module specifically for its location on the working surface

CONTROLLING HEAT An unfortunate problem with the building as it stands is the sheer amount of south-facing glazing present, especially on the gallery. As a result the gallery becomes uncomfortably hot during the day for the vast majority of the year. This leaves it vacant except for the occasional event, and even then such events are typically held in the evening when the building starts to cool down. This left the perfect opportunity to develop a facade system which would control this solar gain and increase utilization of the space. By analyzing the existing heat radiation of the space, we were able to design a facade which would impact the worst areas while still permitting light to enter. This can be observed in our radiation maps, which show a greater than 50% reduction in heat radiation.

LIGHTSHEILD
Parametric Light Controlling Interior This project was designed as a study in unifying artificial and natural lighting, and as such allows fine control over ambient light. This manipulation of light was controlled by a parametric facade system of aluminum and glass. This system was developed using the concept of fractals, generating recursive patterns of progressive detail. By controlling the number of subdivisions, the scale of these panels is controlled, which combined with different light sources can be used to create either a uniform or dynamic atmosphere encouraging guests to move throughout the gallery, as needed. An additional benefit to such a system is that by shielding the light sources, in order for them to appear to be a single source, the surface would also obscure the unsightly alleyways which surround the site. It would also function as a double wall structure, providing additional insulation from both the heat and noise of the outside world. This surface would also work in reverse, manipulating light as it exits the building at night. This system allows for the structure to shift dramatically at night, creating a display of light and drawing in nighttime crowds.
01 BASE GEOMETRY
02 RAYTRACED DIVISION
TRACING LIGHT The raytracing script I created generates a series of rays from a single point, or “Light Core�. These rays are then traced across surfaces, imitating the inverse direction of light travel as it bounces through the space. This is the most customizable section of the script, as it allows the designer to tweak the reflectivity of surfaces, the number of times a ray can bounce, the angles the rays are projected from, the number of rays, and how far the rays can travel. This level of customizability allows for designers to make quick, sweeping changes to the final design of the environment, as it is these rays that ultimately determine which panels are subdivided through the second block. Additionally, this customization allows the script to be adopted for various use cases. For example, I have used variants of this same script for acoustic analysis, airflow turbulence modeling, and numerous other facade developments. Raytrace script focuses all light into a single point FRACTAL SUBDIVISION
03 RECURSIVE SUBDIVISION
The Grasshopper script that I have developed takes a designer-defined geometric mesh and subdivides individual polygon elements based on a recursive system which was inspired by fractal patterns. The script starts by detecting if a particular polygon is colliding with the light rays. If there is not a collision, the script simply leaves the original geometry unchanged. However if the polygon is in collision with the rays, then the script first subdivides the polygon based on a randomly defined center point. A second recursion of the script then runs, further subdividing based on which section of the polygon the collision takes place within. This recursive script can be applied to obtain unlimited levels of detail, but for the sake of clarity and speed I have limited the script to a single recursion in this example.

C ollab ora t i v e Dw elli ng f or t h e Bau hau s Designed in collaboration with Russian architect Diana Kuzina, the Glashaus offers the ability for 24 foreign students to study architecture for 2 months at the legendary Bauhaus. Our vision of the future looks to the increasingly global economy as an example for how society will evolve. Students will study in universities across the globe, gaining a glimpse into the viewpoints offered in other countries. As a shining example of this new process, the Glashaus offers the ability for 24 foreign students to study architecture for 2 months at the legendary Bauhaus. Grouping individuals together by floor, regardless of ethnicity, the Glashaus creates spaces within which cooperative study will flourish. These “Hotspots� create dynamic and open spaces which encourage students to break out of the confines of individual space, into joint activities. To encourage collaboration, the size of spaces is a function of how public they are. Smaller spaces encourage people to move to larger, more collaborative spaces. By integrating the modern educational institution within the existing Bauhaus, we encourage students to take a critical view towards the advancements made in architecture over the past 100 years. The Glashaus treats the existing structure as a historical work of art, encasing it within a glass display like an art exhibit. This plays to the irony of how we view historical buildings, as infallible objects which should remain unaltered in the modern environment.

DESIGNED FOR GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP As civilization moves towards an integrated system of global citizenship, a new learning paradigm is needed for architecture students. Architecture firms work on projects across the globe, and need architects who are familiar with the customs and requirements of these different locations. By modifying the current system of architectural education, we can create a system which encourages this global citizenship. Exceptional students from across the globe will be accepted into this global learning initiative, studying around the world with other students from different countries. Every 2 months, the students will rotate to a new location with exceptional architecture. Some locations will include the Berlin, Moscow, Sydney, and Dubai. By experiencing this architecture first hand, students will gain a new understanding of what is possible within the field. By studying this architecture with students from around the globe, individuals will gain a new understanding of global cultures. By working on projects in many climatically different areas, individuals will gain a new understanding of climatically responsive design. DESIGNED AS AN EXAMPLE This project looks at the Bauhaus as a case study of this new architectural learning experience, creating a location for global learning within the legendary Bauhaus. This building will create communal spaces which encourage students to meet with others from different cultures, fostering an informal education to go alongside more traditional classes.

CLOVER HOUSE Affordable Housing Using Prefabricated Pipes A collaborative competition entry developed in partnership with David Trinidad, the Clover house was designed within 24 hours to compete in the AIAS Pipe Dream competition. Pipe Dream explores the challenges facing communities by proposing affordable, compact housing using 2 prefabricated 8’ concrete pipes provided by Rinker Materials. By manipulating these pipes in unexpected ways, we were able to reorganize them in a fashion which nearly doubled the available interior space, while requiring no additional materials. This 170 square foot house divides and orients the 4 required programmatic elements around a central fireplace, while utilizing the flat roof as an outdoor gathering area. Plenty of daylight is allowed into the structure by using the stairs as a light scoop along with a supplemental skylight, which allows for a small bank of photovoltaic panels to provide for any additional power requirements. The Clover House was selected as a top 5 finalist for innovative design by AIAS National, and in final voting garnered second place. This project was also featured by both the AIAS Kennesaw chapter and the Kennesaw State architecture program.

Clover House | Affordable Housing Using Prefabricated Pipes
CREATING SPACE The defining concept behind this project was the creation of extra floor space by reorienting the pipe sections around each other. This central area then led to the development of a hearth-centric concept. Continuing experimentation led to the idea of using the 4 ‘leaves’ of the Clover House as the areas in which the 4 required programs would exist. Tiny homes provide a great number of ideas which were incorporated within this project, but the primary one was the idea of multiple purposes for elements. No place is this more evident than the hearth and the roof. The hearth acts as a centerpiece, a heat source, a privacy barrier, a space divider, and as the TV mount in the living space. The roof doubles as an external living space with room for lawn chairs and a grill. This external space offers a unique opportunity for neighborly interaction in an increasingly online world.
