A growing downtown civic district demanded an updated city hall
which took the needs of the community, the natural landscape that
defines the pacific northwest and the culture of efficient building
design present in the city into account. This design sought to ab-
stract natural metaphors present in the landscape into a cohesive
building design that's impact and abilities transversed its skin. A
district hub for stormwater treatment, energy production, commu-
nity conversation, and a step towards a new future for Eugene.

The live+work building type
is gaining momentum as more
people desire smaller dwell-
ings, are moving to cities,
and are working remotely or
in an entrpreneurial mode.
This work housing design
used tesselation and repeti-
tion to create unique clus-
ters of stacked apartments
that dealt with the site to-
pography, natural daylight-
ing, privacy, and access/con-
nection to outdoor space.
Double height spaces make
the apartments feel large,
while their foot prints
were small and accessible.

Imagining a new industrial
identity for Detroit, Michigan
founded on the growing urban
agriculture and DIY art culture
began with an exploration of the
agricultural, ecological, and civic
roots of this charged site. The
deserted 9 acre Detroit Tiger's
baseball stadium site allowed the
design to give this unique part
of Detroit's history and equal
playing field with its exciting
future as a hub of innovation.

Situated in an existing railroad corridor, this light rail station tried to
reconcile the lost ecology of the prairie grassland it resided within and
the prospect of a sustainable, public art enhanced transportation system
for Minneapolis. The program included spaces for public art installation,
ecological learning, interaction design, and art education facilities.

Gateway is located outside of the
Portland, Oregon metro area and
is home to a diverse group of people
a burgeoning medical, residential,
retail district. Working with
an interdisciplinary team of
landscape architecture, business,
architecture, and planning
students, this project aimed
to make incremental, catalytic
design interventions that had
multiple simultaneous benefits-
ecological, social, and economic.
By creating a series of nodal
design moves, within a larger
conceptual framework, the
scope of the project considered
the timeline of the real world
and designed for flexibility
and resiliency over time.
