Cico Park Natatorium
4
The Cico Park Natatorium is on the grounds of Cico Park in Manhattan, Kansas. The challenge of this project was to design a swimming pool for park users. My concept for this project was earth integration. I took inspiration from the natural pooling of water within the park in creeks and gullies and designed a space that is sunk into and fully integrated within the ground. In order to bring in natural light the roof system is made up of louvers which open and close for passive heating and cooling.

The Bay Area Economic Assistance Center is located in downtown San Francisco. The goal of the project is to provide a space for low to mid income families who cannot make ends meet. The facility will provide clients with with classrooms, daycare, offi ces for fi nancial assistance personel, and other forms of assistance. My concept is to provide alternating interior and exterior spaces and an abundance of natural light tempered with wood exterior louvers. The outdoor spaces provided on each fl oor interact with the courtyard space as well as the street

ConstraintsThe site of the proposed Children’s Village is presently an agricultural land surrounded by paddy fi elds owned by various people. Access to the site was the guiding factor of design for the master plan. After much discussion and analysis concerning acquisition of the land and cost of construction, we fi nalized on accessing from the north, which proved better both in terms of time necessary to develop the road and overall effi ciency.
Program OverviewCompassionAsia is seeking to assess and develop their property with electricity, road access, a boundary wall, water management plan, and to build new facilities to accommodate the needs and services of the proposed Sophia Children’s Home• Providing a secure and caring family environment for the 144 orphaned children • Providing school and church facilities for the children at the village as well as other children
from the surrounding community. • Creating a “non-institutional” feeling of family and community as well as meeting the
educational and spiritual needs of the people.
Sophia Children’s Village
Site DesignThe conceptual master plan has been designed in response to the site considerations and constraints to best meet CompassionAsia’s ministry needs.The main aim of the design is to provide a community atmosphere for the children.

Each family unit will be home to one house parent and ten to twelve children.The family unit will be a one story cottage and will include a bedroom for the house parent, a dining and living area for the children to gather for family meetings, meals, and to do homework. The kitchen will also be connected by an open counter and window to the dining area and will be equipped with a large pantry/storage area. There are separate sleeping areas, one for the boys and one for the girls, with room for three bunk beds (6 beds) in each along with built-in storage for clothes and a shared bathroom for each gender. The back porch will have large built-in counter for the children to do their washing, and the vegetable garden will be watered by the greywater provided by these taps.
Family Dwelling

Multi-purpose HallThe multi-purpose hall will be used on Saturdays as a meeting place for the church. During the week the building will be used as a fl exible meeting and training classroom area for leadership. It will be used for adult education classes designed to help pastors provide for their ministry. The building has multiple entrances to accommodate its dual functions of serving the church community and the families of the Childrens Village. Exit doors are located at the back on both sides of the raised stage, and at regular intervals along the side wall. Windows are positioned to provide maximum ventilation and lighting to the interior meeting area.
Guest Dwelling
16
The guest cottage will provide a place for visitors such as visiting pastors, trainers, teachers, and the ministry partners to stay when they come to check on the progress of the Children’s Village. The guest cottage will provide a small dining/kitchenette and living area, two bedrooms with double beds, and a toilet and shower room. It is designed with a wrap around veranda to increase ventilation and provide a cool outdoor space in the mornings and evenings.
Baltimore St. Br
rewhaus18
The Baltimore Street Brewhaus is a micro brewery located in the Crossroads district of downtown Kansas City. The goal of the project is to create a space to showcase the brewing process through the built environment. My concept is to create an axis in which the linear brewing process can occur while emphasizing process of brewing and distribution through repeated elements. The brewhaus provides a brewery, hospitality space, distribution center, and outdoor beer garden

Eureka Studio
After visiting and analyzing Eureka, engaging with the community, and observing it is clear that they were facing some serious issues, most notably health, connectivity, and social issues. Research and further analysis leads to the conclusion that the best solution to these problems is the implementation of a green infrastructure system. By addressing the town’s issues with a green infrastructure plan it can become a stronger and more vibrant community.
To improve the quality of life and strengthen the community of Eureka by implementing a cohesive network of green infrastructure to improve health, promote a more active lifestyle, encourage recreation, and generate spontaneous social encounters.
