SR Bales ConstructionLaborer
Nikiski Senior CenterIn the summer of 2012 I had the opportunity to work as a laborer with SR Bales Construc-tion, erecting this senior center. This project was especially exciting due to the variety of construction systems employed. The primary volume is framed with heavy timber. Above ground walls are formed by pre-fabricated structural insulated panels, and the basement bearing walls were built using insulated con-crete forms. The systems employed resulted in a remarkably tight building with exceptionally low heat loss.
Lynden Transport Terminal and OfficesI conducted a preliminary LEED feasability study during the early schematic design for this project. I also assisted the architect in generating specifications and window/door selection.
Galena Senior Residence CenterThis project was well into construction when I worked with LH Peek. I had the opportunity to visit the jobsite with the architect, where I helped document progress and prepared images and diagrams for a client update package.
Lawrence H Peek ArchitectsArchitectural Intern
Otis ConstructionApprentice Project Supervisor Since graduating from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 2013, I’ve spent the last 8 months working for Otis Construction, a general contracting firm specializing in high-end residential remodels, new homes, and light commercial construction in and around Portland, Oregon. They are a tenacious group of individuals whose committment to customer service and attention to detail is unparallelled. In my time with Otis, I had the pleasure of working on almost a dozen active projects, contributing and growing my skills in hands-on carpentry as well as supervisory tasks such as shop drawing review, material take-offs, layout, and construction document conflict checks. As a student of architecture I am continually amazed at how much ingenuity and creative problem-solving is required to realize the vision of a building. Transforming drawings into homes is a process rife with hazard, but also full opportunities for improvement. While reviewing the structural and assembly details of an acoustically sealed room, I recognized that with a few structural and detail modifications, the room could perform better acoustically and be constructed more precisely.

How can architecture support the creative and economic aspirations of a community of entrepreneurs
Today’s passion-driven hobbyists breed many of tomorrow’s small businesses. Stemming from the “Maker” movement, and enabled by technology, industrious hobbyists are leading a new generation of enrepreneurs who sit at the confl uence of technological, economic, and social trends. By all accounts they are ready to stand and turn their passion into product. All they lack are the facilities and business-support services to help them develop and deploy their ideas.
The low-hanging fruit of product design lies in cross-fi eld collaborative design. The most competitive, highest quality products are designed by teams with diverse skill sets and brought to life by individuals skilled in the manipulation and assembly of a variety of materials. This project aspires to be a place that provides amenities that make this collaborative, fabrication intensive design process viable and natural. This is a place where designers are put in close contact with the means of production, and where these means can be shared with a larger community of hobbyists and students.

A Not-so-big City HallEugene, ORThe City of Eugene’s current city hall facilities are not seismi-cally sound or energy effi cient. To address the need for offi ces and council chamber, this project proposes demolishing the existing, obsolete city hall and constructing a new facility with bright, open offi ce space and a street-oriented council cham-ber. The major tectonic defi nition of the building is formed by a system of light wells and mass walls that permit natural light into the offi ces while also providing passive ventilation and acting as hydronic distribution manifolds for a ground-source heat pumpsystem.

The University of Oregon is in need of additional student lodging facilities and academic lecture and classroom spaces. This project provides auditoria, offi ce spaces, and a cafeteria in the plinth, with 550 student residence rooms in the tower. A primary design consideration was addressing the Johnson axis, which runs East-West through the heart of campus. Additionally, special effort was taken in designing the enclosure system of the dorm rooms for rapid construction.

Student RoomsThe repeated nature of the residence tower lends itself to standardized, pre-fabricated components. The unitized wall assembly consists of enclosure, shading structures, and interior cabinetry mounted to metal framing and fastened to the fl oor slabs in a manner similar to unitized curtain wall systems. This component can be manufactured off-site and installed (quickly and safely) via crane to form the exterior enclosure and interior fi nish of the residence rooms. Rapid installation minimizes disruption to ongoing campus operation.operation.

This structural inquiry explores using connection design to achieve striking spatial qualities. Verifi cation calculations were performed for each connection in the roof design, accounting for wind and snow loads.The geometry of the primary structure arose from investigations of curved laminated wood. This timber roof takes advantage of the expressive possibilities afforded by engineered wood, Bracing each pair of glulams is a truss composed of simply connected lapped members which restrain and mitigate some of the bending forces in the assembly. The global system behaves as a three-pin arch, allowing for a continuous skylight at the ridge.

Background informationThere are few opportunities for people that rent their living space to improve upon the environmental performance of their built environment. It is because of this that fi nding improvements that are low-impact, easily removable, and require little capital investment are a very attractive, if somewhat illusive, option for renters.
Many homes, particularly rental properties, are constructed carelessly. One such home in Eugene, Oregon was built with a skylight that remains shaded most of the day during the winter months by a tall gabled roof to the south. As a result, the bathroom beneath the skylight is uncomfortably cold, with chronic water condensation on several surfaces.
The bathroom being studied is in a six bedroom house that does not have centralized heating. The heating system for this house is a baseboard system with heaters located in the living room and individual heaters in the bedrooms. The bathroom is off of the kitchen and a hallway that connects to the back yard; this means that there is no heating system for the bathroom. As a result the bathroom is very cold during the winter months and because of this condensation collects which encourages mold growth creating an unhealthy space.

This graph indicates that, based on composite temperature values, the space increases in temperature about 1.3 degrees more with the refl ector in place.
The ambient temperature during the initial, existing condition data recording was notably lower than the ambient temperatures after installation of the refl ector. Long story short, the 1.34 degree difference between the original conditions and conditions after the refl ector was placed could be attributed to the different delta t
In hopes of increasing the solar heat gain and temperature of the space, an adjustable refl ector was assembled to refl ect sunlight that would otherwise pass over the skylight. The refl ector is adjustable, allowing the angle of incidence, and thus refl ection, to be tuned for individual applications, conditions, and times of year (for this experiment the refl ector angle remained fi xed). To measure the effectiveness of the refl ector, 3 Onset HOBO U12 units were positioned in the bathroom, 1 beneath the skylight, 1 against the interior wall, and one against the exterior wall. To track external temperatures, an additional U12 was positioned outside in a shaded area. Each unit captured temperature and light intensity data continuously, but the data used was isolated to include only sunny days, between the hours of 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM (the time of day that the refl ector is redirecting sunlight through the skylight). Temperature and light intensity data was recorded prior to the installation of the refl ector to establish a control dataset. This was then compared to data collected after installation of the relector.. Observing the temperature trends from the testing period (11:00 AM to 2:30 PM on sunny days), the difference in internal temperature of the space with and without the refl ector installed was determined. With the refl ector installed, the temperature of the space increased
With the refl ector installed, the temperature of the space increased 1.34 degrees more than it did without the refl ector. This fails to meet the hypothesized performance requirements of the retrofi t. However, the light intensity within the bathroom was observed to be signifi cantly improved. composit Measurements taken during testing periods (11:00 AM - 2:30 PM on sunny days) indicate that nearly 90% more lumens/ft2 illuminated the space.

Redirecting DaylightMany homes, particularly barely maintained rental properties, contain rooms that are simply uncomfortable environments. One such home in Eugene, Oregon was built with a skylight that remains shaded most of the day during the winter months by a tall gabled roof to the south. As a result, the bathroom beneath the skylight is underlit and uncomfortably cold, with chronic water condensation on several surfaces.
To address this issue, a solar refl ector was designed and constructed from recy-cled materials. The intention was to redirect solar radiation to raise the tempera-ture and light levels in the space. Data collection units were placed throughout the bathroom to monitor and record conditions before and after the installation. The refl ector resulted in an average interior temperature increase of approxi-mately 1 degree and a signifi cant increase in light levels throughout the day.

Urban Habititat RepairInternational Finalist - In collaboration with Jennifer HuangWaterWise - Biomimetic Solutions to Water Access and Mgmt.Biomimicry 3.8 Institute Student Design Competition
This competition asked students from around the world to use strategies found in nature to address issues related to water access and management. My team chose to focus on the Willamette river, an urban waterway in Portland, Oregon. This channellized waterway is at present a homogeneous microhabitat with few ecological niches and a truncated food-chain, in stark contrast to natural channel sections, which have a variety of widths, depths, substrates and velocities that produce a well developed riffl e and pool sequence conducive to inhabitation by aquatic species. Dense urban developments have stripped rivers of their natural riparian habitats. Basing our approach on the aerodynamics of birds at the individual and fl ock scales, we designed a dock which supports inhabitation by both humans and wildlife.
riffl e run pool
We proposed a dock that creates a variety of fl ow conditions at multiple scales. These diverse conditions are conducive to more abundant life and a more complete riparian ecosystem. We arranged the dock system to emulate the conditions of the riffl e, the pool, and the run, as found in undistrubed streams. This design is intended to install a greater diversity of physical and biotic conditions in order to provide a more multi-dimensional environment for plants and animals, bringing the stream into the city
Craft
I enjoy DESIGNING and MAKING useful items, such as tables, chairs, and simple products. The fabrication process can be quite instructive and never fails to enrich the design of the product piece. Furniture also offers a unique opportunity to play with, and push materials. I have a special affectation for working with bent laminated wood, as it characterizes some of the most compelling physical properties of the material.
