Winery
The winery is divided into three distinct
parts which are linked together at the
main entry. At the center of the complex
is the wine making facility where the wine
is fermented, aged, and bottled. Visitors
are able to view this process as it is made
transparent through the design. The
lower floor is embedded within the
topography to take advantage of natural
thermal cooling. To the west is the
hospitality center where events take place
such as meetings and small scale
weddings. To the north is a restaurant
which features indoor and outdoor seating
with views of the vineyards. The complex
is setup on a rectilinear axis for efficient
circulation and to take advantage of views
towards downtown Lincoln and the state
capital.

fitness center
With a high influx of visitors coming to Lincoln
for various events, especially Nebraska
football, the Haymarket hotel would meet the
demand for guests looking to stay in the
downtown area. The hotel is located just
west of a main connection to interstate I-80,
making it easy for visitors to access the
building as well as to get in and out of the
downtown area quickly. The main floor
contains the lobby and small retail shops. The
underground parking structure is sufficient for
the hotel occupants as well as visitors looking
for hourly parking space. The hotel features
balcony space for each room, various room
types, outdoor terraces, and a mid-level
recreation and restaurant space with views of
downtown Lincoln.

Chongqing Mixed Use
The site constraint became the key issue
with the design of this mixed use building
in Chongqing, China. Located in a dense
urban development and bound by two
existing structures, the building takes
advantage of vertical space while having a
small footprint. A subtractive massing
strategy was used to create pockets of
open space for the residents on the upper
floors and to bring natural light into the
office floors through a narrow light shaft
on the south side of the building. The
building is divided into two distinct parts
but tied together by an external truss
structure exposed along the façade.

5. Office Façade
The objective with this project was to
generate an architectural design from an
initial concept model. The resulting
design became a wood louver façade
system. The undulation of the louvers
controls the amount of natural light being
let into the building. The spacing of the
louvers becomes denser where less light
is needed and less dense where more
light is needed, allowing for thermal
control. Small outdoor terraces appear at
various points along the façade to give
users outdoor access. To create a
seamless aesthetic, the louvers open and
function as railings for the terrace spaces.

6. Chicago Master Plan
Located just south of downtown Chicago,
this urban development focuses on
creating a relationship with the Chicago
River. A key feature of this project is the
waterfront promenade which strengthens
the connection to the Chicago River by
allowing boats to dock at various points
along the development and encouraging
people to be more active. The master
plan creates a city center for Chicago with
a new link to the metro system, various
commercial and residential developments,
and open space interwoven throughout
the design.
