The goal of the project is to provide Uptown with its own unifying living
room, by making families and children the focus of a new neighborhood
center that reaches out to establish connections to the nearby Queen
Anne neighborhood and the Seattle Center. By enriching the area with a
new public high school, multi-family housing and diverse retail spaces,
the design will embrace the spirit of Uptown and unify the community
as a whole. During the exploration of Meeting House Square and
Vancouverism, I recognized the significance of families in urban areas
as a tool to bring safety, security and pride to the area. Therefore, the
residential units were designed for families, focusing on three to four
bedroom units, and include neighborhood elements such as the pea
patch, playground, and open green space.

which lead to the development of the program and the
design. The diagrams to the far right highlight the three
major connections the Uptown City Center emphasizes,
the Key Arena, the path from Queen Anne Blvd. to the
Gates foundation, and lastly the ballet school.

This project is a design for people without homes, specifically those
residing in temporary and mobile settlements such as Tent City 3. Tent
Cities have formed all over the country as encampments for people
in need of transitional housing. The city of Seattle has an agreement
with TC3 which allows them to reside on church property for up to
three months at a time. The goal of the project is to liberate these
encampments from the power grid through the creation of their own
energy using solar power. Tent Cities such as TC3 are self-governed, and I
want to introduce the idea that they can also become self-sufficient and
independent.

The design is a 24 foot long trailer which will serve as the main
community “tent” within a tent city, which has 45 solar panels and the
ability to hook up to the power grid and literally turn back the meter.
When open, the trailer will provide 570+ square feet of community space
for the 100+ residence of the city. This is the space where people not
only relax, eat and socialize throughout the day, but also the space which
houses the weekly meetings, and where hot meals, provided by churches,
are served. The adjustable floors, roofs, solar panels, and seating, allow
the space to transform easily with the needs of the camp. And lastly, with
the trailer completely closed up and ready to go, there is ample interior
space which can be used to transport items from one site to the next,
speeding up the moving process.

I proposed a mixed-use facility which combines the expansion of Tieton
Cider Works with a new public library, each program separate yet
unavoidably integrated. Cider Works is a business which emerged out of
Tieton and the surrounding apple orchards, and has grown far beyond
its current facilities. The library gifts something entirely for the people
of Tieton as individuals. The design is meant to exemplify the linear
character of the industrial process of hard cider making, drawing from
the design of dam powerhouses. The elevated glass box housing the
library provides an exaggeration of this linear language by paralleling
the rhythm of cider making while connecting visually with each step of
the process. In turn the library becomes a similar U-shaped process of
drawing one from the entrance to the back balcony then back down the
sky lit path to the front balcony. cold storage and a tasting room.

Our assignment was to design a vacation home for an artist, next to
the river in Northern Idaho. It was significant to take advantage of the
spectacular views, creating a picturesque environment for the visiting
artist and his guests. The project developed into a study of perspective
and capturing a different view point in each space. The separation
between public and private space also became very important within
the design because of the minute size of the project. Capturing the
most significant view, which was the bend in the river to the South
East became a driving force for the project. The site itself was also a
significant challenge because of its very steep grade leading down to the
river. The dichotomy between public and private spaces introduces the
concept of this project which is about perspective and capturing different
perspectives.
