THE GAMBLER
- SUNKEN, REACHING TOWARDS THE UNKNOWN WATER- HEAVY STRUCTURE, YET HIDES BEHIND A WARM WOOD FACADE- DREAMS TOWARDS THE SKY TO RELATE TO HER WORLD- ALWAYS READY TO FLOAT AWAY
THE ENGINEER
-SUSPENDED STEEL AIMING FOR EVER GREATER HEIGHTS-REGULAR GRID PATTERN AND CUSTOM FASTENERS -LOOKS TO THE EARTH, GROUNDED IN PHYSICAL OBSERVATIONS-TRAVELS VIA A CANTILEVERED WALKWAY
SHELTER
Shelter is the final expression where one observes the character, quirks, and tectonics of each character. The gambler and the engineer are separated into individual dwellings yet they are essentially connected.
01 A Gambled Land and an Engineered Means
Location: Smith Cove, Seattle, WACompleted: December 2012Project focus: historical site development, magical realism, climate change, representation, theoryPrograms used: Sketchup, AutoCAD, ArcGIS, Kerkythea, Adobe, Woodshop
This thesis is inspired by the historical underpinnings of site and the pressing concern of climate change. The goal of this project is to add to discourses of today and the ways in which we speak about the future. The chosen site is a rail yard spanning from the salt water of the naturally made Puget Sound and the brackish water of the man-made Lake Washington Ship Canal. This site was selected for its embodied magical qualities- forces on the site that can be felt but not seen.

A PIONEERING SPIRIT & AN ENGINEERED LAND
Interbay is the industrial switching yard of Seattle. In 1911, former tidelands were filled with the dredging of a nearby ship canal. The site today, is an engineered landscape and a relic of Seattle’s industrial past.
Rising sea levels will bring a new frontier. A future resettlement of Smith Cove is proposed. The persona of the early settler is developed as two forces on the site: the gambler and the engineer.

THE GAMBLER THE ENGINEER
“ARCHITECTURE IS THE MEDITATION OF FINITUDE… THE SYMBOLIC REDISTRIBUTION OF DESIRE… THE EXECUTION OF EXQUISITE BARRIERS…THE HISTORY OF A PLACE TOLD IN BROKEN CODE…”
-DOUGLAS DARDEN, CONDEMNED BUILDINGS Collected artifacts found throughout Seattle combine in first expression of the gambler and engineer. Welded steel, bronze and mahogany self-constructed stands.

THE GAMBLE OF HENRY SMITH
“SO THEY IDLED THEIR WAY UP THE BROAD, FERTILE VALLEY, SO HAPPY THAT THEY FORGOT THAT WORK WAS EVER NECESSARY, WHILE THE VALLEY OF THE MOON WAS A GOLDEN DREAM, REMOTE, BUT SURE, SOME DAY OF REALIZATION.”

A TOWER
A tower acts as a directional compass, The tectonics merge the characteristics of the gambler and engineer: a precarious structure, where the highly efficient engineer’s truss has been played upon by the gambler.

THE WATER RETURNS
Bridges are necessary to span from land to land, to cross the valley, and to connect the new landform with the old. The bridges also merge two tectonic languages—two solid, anchoring structures and a tenuous spanning element.
“WEST THEY HAD FARED UNTIL THE PACIFIC ITSELF HAD STOPPED THEM, AND HERE THEY HAD MADE THEIR CLEARING, BUILT THEIR RUDE HOUSES, AND SETTLED. IN THEM FARTHEST WEST HAD BEEN REACHED.”

An Architecture Thesis
Early settlers brought to the site their pioneering attitude, overlaying notions of risk taking and modern engineering. The ghosts of these forefathers still exist as relics of the past, a gambled and engineered land

The Toolbox: Work/Live
Location: Yesler Terrace, Seattle, WACompleted: December 2010Project focus: multi-family affordable housing, economic revitalization, adaptive reusePrograms used: Sketchup, AutoCAD, Adobe, 35mm film and darkroom development
Yesler Terrace has offered low-income housing in Seattle since the mid-1950s. As much of the housing units age it must now be replaced. This studio looked at design proposals for relocated and new tenants. This project’s program focuses on the need for garage and work space to support residents in partaking in various income producing projects. The space is meant to be informal but well cared for, as residents will live on the same block and directly above the workspace. In addition to newly constructed low-income lofts & apartments, the design also includes an adaptive reuse of the Urban League Building and new public spaces.

FOUND MATERIALS FURNITURE FACTORY
Location: Fremont, Seattle, WACompleted: March 2010Project focus: furniture, reuse, factory typology and living quartersPrograms used: Sketchup, AutoCAD, Woodshop, Adobe
On a given construction site, lumber less than 24” in length is typically discarded. Given this premise, this studio began with exploration in the making of a piece of furniture using pieces of wood 24” in length or smaller. The furniture piece seen here, was made entirely out of found material, taken from a discard pile at a nearby lumber yard and residence. The furniture factory was proposed for an individual who works with found objects. The storage component was given additional square footage. The factory, itself, is designed using discarded shipping containers. The furniture maker lives on top of an existing structure and the residence aims to maximize space.
Reuse + Repurpose09
A steel frame provides structure for the reused containers, creating an open and rugged workshop space.
Embracing Vibrant Expression of the Neighborhood
Location: Capitol Hill, Seattle, WACompleted: June 2012Project focus: human scale, neighborhood palette, edge zonesPrograms used: Sketchup, AutoCAD, ArcGIS, Kerkythea, Adobe
Culture Collective builds upon the diversity of expression found in Capitol Hill. This distinct neighborhood thrives on the unique energy of its residents creating an experience of place that is invigorating and inspiring. The primary design strategy is based upon a central and unifying vertical circulation, held together by the dynamic programmatic elements. Like each individual resident of Capitol Hill, the site exhibits its own character embodied in an island siting with tapered parcel edges. The form embraces the uniqueness of the site, establishing its outline based on parallel lines to the parcel edges.

The Pass Life
Just 45 minutes outside of Seattle, Snoqualmie Pass offers a world of outdoor adventures: from skiing to rock climbing to mountain biking. Working with a young developer, the owner of one of the largest online ski equipment retailers, we developed a community combing for-sale duplexes and related commercial enterprises, such as: a restaurant, ski museum and brewery. Designed under multiple phases, Phase 1 is currently under construction. All duplexes were completely sold before any construction even began.

The main entrances of the building pull back and gesture to the university to the south, to the alleyway to the north-west and towards an urban park to the north-east. Public space ensues that is accessible directly from the cafe in both morning and afternoon. With an open ground floor plan the building allows for clear sight lines throughout the main floor and to the urban spaces beyond.
Diagram of Annual EventsThe ground floor of the building can be closed off via sliding doors and used as post-event space for the range of events occurring in the neighborhood. The large open atrium in the center is ideal for celebrations and after-parties.
The FacadeThe building’s facade is inspired by the “bulletin-board” postering found throughout the neighborhood coupled with local textures & patterns.
Site plan, 1:500
URBAN STRATEGYGround floor flexible post-event space and hybridized functions, such as laundry machines mixed in with the bar
Daylit filled atrium houses vertical circulation, connects two structural grids and joins related program spaces.

Treasured Trash and Trashed Treasure
Location: Rainier Valley, Seattle, WACompleted: June 2011Project focus: social and environmental infrastructure, material decompositionPrograms used: Sketchup, AutoCAD, Kerkythea, Adobe
GARBAGE URBANISM IN RAINIER VALLEY
This studio began as an investigation into the 21st century challenge of an overabundance of waste and students were free to choose his or her own program and site. For this project, the building’s program proposes to address all stages of a material object’s life. The chosen site is the Mount Baker Light Rail station located in Seattle’s Rainier Valley. In addition to space for upcycling and appliance shares, there is also a memorial wall, or an urban graveyard, for once beloved items.

THE MOST DIVERSE ZIPCODE
Rainier Valley is the most diverse zip code in the country, yet lacks the presence of Seattle’s major businesses, educational and artistic institutions. The program of the building embraces diversity as a resource through an artifact museum while simultaneously facilitating connection to global institutions via a collection center for used goods and packaging waste.

MATERIAL DECOMPOSITION
Building upon the idea of community through individual contribution, as seen in Seattle’s famous Gum Wall, an urban landfill for beloved items is envisioned. The vertical core of the building serves as circultation and as a collection wall displaying once cherished items. Double skinned concrete filled steel tubular (DSCFT) columns support the large floor plates, while floor to ceiling trusses support an open floor plan, lateral stability and cantilevers.
