Immersion studio

Literary center interior

Th roughout the process of Immersion, students explored the complete the design process of creating a literary center for the neighborhood of Clifton, Cincinnati.

Th e literary center process allowed me to learn by iterating, experience, and trial and error. By taking our designs as far through the process, the ten week studio showed students how design grows and cycles through various stages. Staring with an intense ten-hour charrette, inspiration started forming the design of the new center. Th e dynamic shape of the site inspired the many iterations of the space plan-ning of my building.

Immersion studio

Literary center facade

One of the primary goals of this “immersion” was to incorporate many courses all geared towards a single design. By doing so, students experienced more aspects of the design development stages to sharpen their iterative skills applied to their fi eld of study.

Students worked in diff erent mediums, straying away from the computer screen by beginning with sketches, and contextual photographs whileintegrating personal designs. Working models showed three-dimensional changes throughout the quarter. After many light studies integrated from an Environmental Technology class a more conscious, passive design was fi nalized.

Corporate studio

Incorporating Brand

When developing the profi le for the targeted consumer’s, the design started to form around these fi ndings. In addition to the targeted “music fanatic”, Paste Magazine attracts free-spirited, uncon-ventional youth who express themselves through their individuality.

Subsequently, it made sense to break the orthogonal grid of the building, as the consumer would avoid the mainstream, default way of approaching ideas. In order to create more dynamic spaces and stay consistent with the consumer’s identity, the grid shifted to face true North, on the downtown Cincinnati’s site.

Corporate studio

Collaborative work space

By exploring through multi-disciplinary approaches, the main objective of this studio was to create spatial identity in a corporate setting. Students defi ned the meaning of brand by analyzing the employees of the space as well as the users of the brand.

Here, in the main offi ce space of Paste, I wanted to create an idea generating space for the employees of the music magazine, Paste Magazine could express multiple personalities, identities, and individual-ity by providing workers an area for pin-up space and collaborative thoughts. Th ese boards stimulate creativity in the work environment, allowing anyone in the offi ce to share ideas with ease.

Mixed-use studio

Church Renovation Th e second year Interior Design students explore the fi elds of historical renovation, rehabilitation, and redesign in their 2010 winter quarter project. Th is proposal and exploration of taking St. John’s church located in Over-the-Rhine in Cincinnati and converting it into a residential and commercial spot for a specifi c client will be the challenge for this quarter.

My client is a lover of wood. Her need for a wood shop in the fi rst level of her home was my inspiration for the fl oor plan, material palette, and natural connection to the driving concept for this project. To further my parti from wood, I broke down the science of lumber into diff erent scientifi c layers transferring these concentric circles into the zones of the building and the forms of the plans.

Design lab

Dimensional studies Th ese three studies allowed students to further explore the dimensionality of planes, volumes, and combine the two within another object.

Th e planar forms interior and exterior spaces while the solid form explores solid and void creations. Th e emblematic object embodies both of these explorations, while keeping similar dimensions. However, there was a new dimension added when the materiality changed, creating dynamic views from diff erent angles.

Documentation Lab

Urban context Perspective

Th is perspective drawing represents the interpretation of an “urban condition”. Findlay Market, located in Cincinnati, represented a space that expresses city life through the gathering of shoppers coming together for goods. Here, the section perspective shows the contrast between the desolate surrounding areas and the central, bustling food market.

Opposite: Documentation to Drawing

Th e intent of this project was to develop students abilities to construct sections and axonometric drawings from existing plans and photographs.

Interiors Internship

Professional practice skills

Samples of the collaborative work produced at my time of HOK show a variety of skills that can only be taught and refi ned in the work place. Client contact and work at the professional level are two of the most prized skills I learned at my time at HOK.

Th e HOK Directors needed to fi nd the best space for their meet-ing, held in Chicago for the fall of 2010. Th is involved many trips around the city, developing plans in Revit, and graphically laying out a presentation for the C.E.O.

Th e deliverable package for the University of Missouri Health Care System was an intricate pro-cess, produced by the collaborative eff ort of St. Louis and Chicago HOK offi ces. Th e client received a series of plans, elevations, art placement tags, as well as furniture legends, specifi cation sheets, and a standards material package.

Th is rendering shows my palette choice for the updated Boys Scout headquarters. Upon the client’s request, I kept the color choice conservative, masculine, and simple. Th e Interface carpet choice mimics forest fl oor colors.
