The diversity of my education allows me draw inspiration
from a variety of disciplines, from the fine arts to historic
preservation; I have been able to use the principles form each
to further my design process. The fine arts taught the prin-
ciples of a balanced composition, how to use color appro-
priately, and the drawing techniques that allow designs to be
rendered using a variety of mediums.

Built 1900, Bands Corner Store is a two story building, the first floor commer-
cial while the second floor contains a two bedroom living space. During the 18th
to 19th century, the corner store became an extremely popular design through-
out downtown areas across the United States.
Today, however, buildings such as Bland’s have fallen into disarray. With gas
stations taking over the convenience store titles, these small shops that are part
of the fabric of urban life, are at risk of becoming obsolete and taking their
history with them. This particular corner store is located in the historic district
of Savannah Georgia. It stands as a ruin of the Victorian age in a city that
prides itself upon Historic Preservation. When presented with the opportunity
to provide an economical assessment of a potential investment for a client who
wished to do an adaptive rehabilitation of a historic building that was eligible
for receiving historic tax credits, I selected Bland’s as my building of choice.

FINANCING
This building would make a successful adaptive
rehabilitation investment. Although the profits
are minimal the first year, the finances are in the
green, meaning that the profitable income has
paid for the rehabilitation and the building will
continue to profit in the years to come.

208 East 34th Street was constructed sometime between 1900 and 1917 as a
residence for a Mr. and Mrs. John Morris. The site is located in the Cumming
Ward and occupies the East 45 feet of Lot 35 and the West 45 feet of Lot 36. It
served as a residence to the Morris family until 1926.
The site changed hands several times until 1972, when it became a law office
for Fletcher Farrington and Partners. In 1999, the site was purchased by a Mr.
Richard Wofford, who still occupies the bottom floor of the main house. The top
floor and carriage house were rented out as apartments and remain so today.

The purpose of this excercise is to illustrate the
functional rational that Grasshopper has to offer.
The truss is a serious of repitive bars with lateral
bracing, the skin is a solid “sheet” that was cre-
ated in Rhino as a mesh then applied as a sur-
face in Grasshopper. The Louver system adjust
to any sun angle, rotating all verticle louvers to ad-
equately provide shad to the sturcture which can
be rotated, skewed and scaled to produce multiple
options quickly and effeciently.

Waterfront Park, located in Charleston South Carolina, was devel-
oped after hurricane Andrew devastated the area. Now, the Park
draws visitors with its large pineapple fountain. For this project, the
challenge was to design a Vietnamese restaurant, being sensitive
the local context as well as the Vietnamese Culture itself.
My design is located on the pier, and has a main fl oor with priva-
tized dining room, as the culture observes, as well as an open patio
level on the second fl oor which maximizes the views out toward the
water and back onto the City of Charleston.

The fundamental purpose for means of egress is to get all the occupants out of a building in a safe and expeditious manner during a fire or other emergency.A means of Egress must provide:A continuous and unobstructed path of exit travel from any occupied point in a building to a public way, which is a space such as a street or alley, permanently dedicated for public use.A direction of flow to every means of egress, leading from an occupied space to a final safe outside area, away from any hazard or emergency in the building. Exit must remain same size or get larger as the building occupants proceed downstream from areas of lesser safety to areas of greater safety and ultimately out of the building through the exit discharge.At least two different egress paths should lead from the interior of a building to the outside at ground level.Occupancy load and number of exits: Assembly, Business, Institution: 1 exit up to 49 occupants, 2 exits up to 500 occupants.Maximum egress distance: Assembly: 75’, Business and Institution: 100’When two exits are required, they are to be placed a distance apart equal to one-half the diagonal dimension of the space.Ramps in a means of egress must not exceed a 1 in 12 (8%) slope.Width of ramps in a means of egress shall not be less than the width of corridors (typically 44”).Ramps are limited to a vertical rise of 30” between intermediate landings.Ramp landings that accommodate a change of direction must be at least 60” x 60”.
Buildings must be accessible to persons with disabilities and was mandated by the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. Every project should be carefully reviewed against provisions of the ADA to assure compliance with federal law.Accessible Route for ADA- allow persons with disabilities to enter a building, get into and out of spaces where desired function occur, and then exit the building. It is also necessary that accessible route is needed to support functions such as toilets, telephones and drinking fountains.Toilet: where multiple instances of single-user toilet facilities occur, at least 5% but no less than one in each cluster of such facilities, must be accessible.Floor Space: a turn radius of 60” x 60” for all hallways. A clear floor space of 30” x 48” must be provided to accommodate a single wheel chair.Washroom: every washroom must have at least one accessible lavatory that meets or exceeds ADA requirements.Seat heights must be 17” to 19” above the finished floor. Flush controls must be placed on the open side of the toilet with the clear floor space and mounted to higher than 44” above the finished floor.Sinks: 1109.3 requires 5% of sinks to be accessible, except for service sinks.Floor Plan Confi guration: Egress

The Lightning Car Company is an electric luxury sports car that is
making waves in the automotive world. For this project, the goal
is showcase the car’s technology while having the opportunity to
branch out programmatically to attract a wider range of cliental. For
my design, the space will serve as a showroom for the Lightning
Car, as well as a interior and exterior restaurant for locals in the
area as well as a museum space to tell the history of vehicles from
the United States and around the world.
The form responds to both the surrounding context and function of
the building. Holding strong to the Savannah grid, the form begins
to become dynamic, and breaking away to interact with the curvilin-
ear form of the car.

The American Comedy Hall of Fame is intended to be a Sig-
nature Building for the Entertainment District in Los Angeles
California. The structure, which will house the most Iconic
and instrumental members of Comedy will serve the com-
munity as well as surrounding venues such as the Staples
Center, in offering a Theater, Restaurants, Comedy Club, Ex-
hibition space as well as Inductee ceremonies celebrating the
men and women who have brought so much laughter to the
American people and the World.
The Design spirals out toward the entertainment in the sur-
rounding context. The central circulation encourages explo-
ration and visually leads the visitor through the form.

The fl oor plan and circulation are inspired by the golden section.
The utiliazation of this sacred geometry came from the desire to
expland the central core as one extends upward, moving both up
and out as the experience of the comedy hall expands through time.
This arrangement also allowed for the use of natural light to beam
down from the roof to bottom lobby space.

The goal of this urban environment is to create a connection between the natural and built
environment by way of an elevated pedestrian path known as the “L-Way.” This system
would allow for residents and visitors alike to venture through the protected wetlands that
exist on the site and weave through the city, allowing the pedestrian to travel above the car,
which also allows for an elevated commercial program. The overall development contains:
729 Residential persons, mixed use: 12,360 residential and 1.06 Million Sq. Ft. Mixed-Com-
mercial, and 3.7 Million Sq. Ft. Commercial, Which will include a University with Apartment
Style housing located throughout the Urban plan.

9Hunter’s Point South, approximately 30 acres of prime real estate in Long Island City,
Queens. The proposed development will offer a patchwork of program, allowing the
area to have a more natural and sustainable existence. Beginning with a celebrated
Entrance into a Green Space, an Amphitheater and Retail Zone, an Industrial residen-
tial zone, and ending with a High Rise and Ferry Terminal.
As a team, we each designed a portion of the site, I developed the Park and transition
space which lead into the retail zone. I also was responsible for the vignettes which
created the perspectives that depict the patch-work concept we developed for the site.

For my part, the exploration of site included that of neigghboring
NYC. The grid layout and river connection became very important
the our development of Hunter’s point south. The buildings, or fol-
leys, located within the park were created with material I gathered
at Skidaway Island State Park (my work) as representation of the
idea that the green space is an extension of the existing state park.
The models were then photoshoped into the vginettes seen above.
