The Tuamkeni Orphans’ School project is an ongoing partnership between the University of Minnesota, the Minnesota-based non-profi t, Awaken Coalition, and the Tuamkeni Orphans’ Care Center in Arusha, Tanzania. Phase one, research, began in early 2012; myself, three peers*, and a faculty advisor* traveled to Tanzania for one month as part of the research.
The second phase of the project, schematic design, took place in Spring 2013 through a design module. Two teams produced fi nal master plan schematic designs with the goal of casting a vision for Tuamkeni about the future of their site, and to provide a concept proposal for each project to Awaken Coalition for fundraising purposes.
This project proposes ten new classrooms, administrative offi ces, an indoor-outdoor kitchen, latrines, and staff housing on site.

Considering Arusha’s rainy seasons was also critical in the design. The rendering above shows the continuous roof and overhang that create outdoor spaces where teaching and play can happen outside while staying dry.

The site plan (top) includes a proposal for future expansion to the south. The offset trusses seen in the section above create a skylight running through the backbone of the buildings, bringing natural light to the interior spaces. The roof has a deep overhang to provide shading in this hot, sunny climate that lies just south of the equator.

The house was completed and dedicated to its new owners in December 2013. I was asked to be a student representative for the project for the WCCO News segment about the house and dedication that aired on December 19, 2013.

The Northside Net-Zero house was a partnership between the University of Minnesota and Habitat for Humanity. The house was designed for energy effi ciency, affordability, and constructibility by a volunteer workforce.
I entered into the project during the design development phase and continued through the construction document phase. Working on a team*, my areas of focus were developing the construction and assembly strategies for the super-insulated walls, winding staircase, and the Hardi-panel cladding system.
This project gave me the invaluable experience of learning how to reconcile a conservative budget and aggressive energy goals while maintaining beauty and aesthetics.
Team members included: Daniel Aversa, Aaron Regla-Breton, Marcus Hulmer, Jenn McGinnity, Stuart Shrimpton, and Sangyong Hahn

Reve Academy is a non-profi t after-school digital marketing academy for students in NorthMinneapolis. The building houses the Academy’s work spaces, profi t-generating retail storefront, workshop, gallery and conference room, and offi ce space for the Academy’sfor-profi t parent company, Reve Digital Marketing.
The Reve Academy design includes interior renovation and new construction that growsout of the shell of an existing, corner-lot brick building on West Broadway Avenue in North Minneapolis. Structure and sectionality drove the building’s design. Code analysis, structural requirements, and material specifi cations for the project were included in fi naldetail drawings for the course.

The North elevation (opposite) maintains the original building’s facade with the addition appearing as a backdrop to the existing West Broadway streetscape. Conversely, the addition plays a signifi cant role in the building’s East elevation presence on Dupont Avenue (above).

The Design Duluth studio is part of an ongoing partnership between the University of Minnesota and the City of Duluth, Minnesota. Working closely with city offi cials, the studio proposed resilient design solutions with the goal of increasing Duluth’s population. My teammates, Vanessa Abin (M. Arch) and Emily Osthus (M.L.A.), and I proposed a master plan system that introduces the Ripstop Nylon industry into an historical industrial corridor of Duluth to reinvigorate economic activity and support local craft movements in the City. Building from existing networks of small, local businesses, we introduced programs and product distribution systems that would strengthen their networks and bring commercial activity to the area. Streetscape, spatial and programmatic system design are the critical foci of this project.

Exploration was the focus of this project that started with carefully peeling a cabbage. From this process, I honed my ability to communicate design ideas through various mediums including hand drawing, physical and digital modeling using the programs Rhino and Grasshopper, and diagramming and rendering with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

The Artifi cial Thicket was a one-week, design-build team* project done with Kennedy-Violich Architecture and the River First project in Minneapolis, MN. The thicket is an installation made from salvaged wood found alongside the Mississippi River that provides a habitat for mosses, insects, and birds, as well as an undulating visual landscape for the users of the River First park trails. Building the thicket incorporated the use of a CNC mill, wood-working equipment, plastic zip ties, and biodegradable glow-in-the-dark paint.

A careful numbering system determined which slots the driftwood pieces would be placed in the two supporting walls. The interstitial space between the walls (left) creates a habitat for bugs, mosses, and small birds.
This fast-paced, analog project gave me the opportunity to design through making and challenged us to design something beautiful with reclaimed, imperfect materials on a low budget.
