3. SYDNEY PROJECT -1
IN THIS GLOBAL PROJECT, I HAD TO
RESEARCH A CITY AND DESIGN A
PROJECT THAT BEST SUITED THE
CITY’S CULTURE. I CHOSE SYDNEY,
AUSTRALIA, AND FOCUSED ON PRE-
COLONIAL ABORIGINAL CUSTOMS. I
DESIGNED THE MULTIFAMILY
CONDOS TO HAVE A
DECENTRALIZED FLOOR PLAN, TO BE
EXTERIOR FOCUSED, AND TO
BENEFIT FROM AS MANY
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN SOLUTIONS AS
POSSIBLE.

5. DEEP GALLERY PROJECT - 1
INDEX
1ST FLOOR
2ND FLOOR 3RD FLOOR
Using the 2007 ASID Student Design
Competition's program I designed a two story
art gallery, DEEP, with a living space on the
third floor. DEEP is inspired by the abyss.
Sinking, swimming, and floating, the three
means of aquatic movement, are represented
on each floor respectively. The finishes, colors,
and furniture all work together to remind the
artist to sink deeper and to hold one's breath
just a little bit longer.

7. BENNETT RESIDENCE - 1
I was given a client
profile and an
existing site, and had
to design the small
residence as energy
efficient as possible. I
took advantage of the
full southern
exposure by
designing a trombe
wall to store solar
heat during the day.
At night heat radiates
from the wall,
effectively warming
the bedroom.

INDEX
TRADIGITAL RENDERING
MARKER RENDERING
PEN RENDERING
“TRADIGITAL” REFERS TO THE TECHNIQUE OF
SYNTHESIZING TRADITIONAL RENDERING MEDIUMS, SUCH
AS PEN AND MARKER, WITH DIGITAL TECHNIQUES, SUCH
AS PHOTOSHOP, TO CREATE A UNIQUE DRAWING.

12. BUS STOP MODEL
INDEX
THIS MODEL WAS CONSTRUCTED FOR A PROJECT IN WHICH I
HAD TO DESIGN A MORE USER FRIENDLY BUS STOP. I
DESIGNED THE BUS STOP TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOLAR
PANELS ON THE ROOF, ENERGY EFFICIENT LED LIGHTING, AND
RADIANT HEATING THROUGHOUT THE FLOOR.

13. WATERCOLOR

14. PLATFORM BED
INDEX
PLATFORM BED MODELED IN SKETCHUP. CONSTRUCTED
WITH A TRAY MECHANISM THAT SPANS THE WIDTH OF THE
BED. WHEN NOT IN USE TRAY SLIDES BACK FORMING A
HEADBOARD/SHELF. BACKREST PILLOWS FOLD BACKWARDS
INTO HEADBOARD, AS WELL.

15. AVD+EVAD LIVE/WORK REHAB - 1
INDEX
The challenge of designing and constructing a living
space/art studio in a re-purposed urban storefront
with a small budget led to some very interesting
design decisions. A platform bed with storage
beneath and a tree limb above, floor to ceiling
bookshelves made from industrial shelving, and
paper lanterns hung from wooden coat hangers, are
all solutions that would not have existed if money &
space were not so confining.

16. AVD+EVAD LIVE/WORK REHAB - 2
INDEX
In order to maximize the use of such a small space,
and because the "bedroom" would have to be placed
in the center of the living area, I designed and
constructed a platform bed with deep drawers on
one side and open storage on the other. To create
an unforgettable and dramatic focal point, I
suspended an 80 pound tree branch over the bed
with aircraft cables.

17. PRESS

WAS FEATURED IN THE OCT/NOV 2008
