- 4. Sophmore Studio - 2010 Montreal, Quebec Best in Show MONTREAL MUSEUM & METRO Here we were asked to design a museum / metro station to fill one of the several vacant metro station locations that are spread throughout the greater Montreal area. The building is an elongated split and shifted rectangle with a large central circulation corridor on the second floor. The building was clad with a gray scale cementitious board and along the divide a corrugated red metal. The split provide a relief from the continuous urban street oriented facade. Widening the street presences provided an ideal entry area that was welcoming to all citizens

- 6. Furniture Seminar - 2013 Norwich University - Northfield, VT A Series of Boxes Furniture design and fabrication is a true passion of mine. This unique book shelf was one piece that I designed and built myself for a furniture seminar. The bookshelf itself is constructed of hard white maple and black steel piping. Providing over 50 feet of storage in a 30 square foot area of wall the bookshelf provides ample storage for a private home collection. Playing on the traditional four footed bookshelf mine rests on three foot with the fourth humorously connected to the wall via black oxide screws. `
- 7. Design Build Studio - 2011 Norwich University - Northfield, VT Suntilator This was an installation project that I designed and constructed with 2 of my colleagues. We were asked to design and fabricate a sun shading device that would also allow ventilation to occur in the Art & Architecture Gallery. While appearing to be a random set of holes, we used a binary code translation of seven famous quotes from seven different famous architects throughout history from Vitruvius to Zaha Hadid. Using a 3-axis flat bed CNC machine we were able to produce the panels easily.

- 10. Thesis Studio - 2014 Wells, Maine DESIGNING a CAMPUS for the FUTURE The focus of my Master’s research was to design a campus that not only worked for todays academic methods but, would adapt tothefuture’saswell. ByintroducinganUrbanizedcampusinto a surrounding rural context I was able to provide the benefits that result from each location. With a limited time table I focused my energy on designing the campus center which would be come the heart of the new YCCC. Here I combined the existing Culinary Arts Program with the Administration Offices, a small auditorium and a large enclosed courtyard area that would serve as a multi-disciplinary space. Over all the Campus Center is focused on adaptability as well as flexibility to allow multiple programs to occur simultaneously, without disruption of day to day activities.
