MIAMI BEACH DANCE ACADEMYM I A M I , F L O R I D A
Situated in Downtown Miami Beach, I was tasked with redesigning a long underutilized surface park-ing lot on the corner of Washington St. and 10th Ave. Design cues were taken from Art-Deco hotels nearby and the Mediterranean Revival Wolfsonion Museum across the street. The program required a self-contained dance school with locker rooms, office space, and studios connected with a semi-public performance venue which could be utilized for dance recitals or other theatrical events.
The building has a basement with prop stor-age rooms, a first floor with a theater and Grand Salon, a mechanical mezzanine level, a second floor with locker rooms and administration space, and a third floor with dance studios and an open-air grass courtyard.

MANILA YMCA CAMPUS
Designed as an exercise in The Spanish Renaissance, this YMCA campus in Manila evokes the colonial past of the Philippines and is inspired by the city of Vigan. A full array of recreational and educational facilities have been provided to service a nearby naval base. Amenities include a chapel, a beach pavilion, dormitories, labs, classrooms, dining halls, a library, a gymnasium, and a swimming pool. Design for a humid climate has been taken into consideration and traditional sleeping porches are provided in the dormitories.
The large western seawall also fea-tures a pier into the harbor allowing navy ships to dock directly with the facility.

The ability to pro-duce quality construc-tion documents is cen-tral to the professional responsibilities of an architect.
I have taken ev-ery opportunity both in school and at my subsequent places of employment to hone this skill.
Represented here are a few small samples from larger sets of drawings completed for three different entities.
The first was a school building designed at the University of Miami in their Construc-tion Documents elective course.
The second is an affordable housing complex designed by Andres Duany and Eduardo Fernandez at DPZ, where I assisted in drafting the final set.
The third is a per-mit set I worked on independently with su-pervision by architect Sara Hines for a small contractor spec house in Arlington Massachu-setts.
DOWNTOWN SAINT ELMO CHARRETTE

The Saint Elmo Downtown Charrette was a week-long design workshop in the village of Saint Elmo, a neighborhood on the south side of Chattanooga which runs from the Tennessee River south to the border with Georgia. The project was a multi-faceted design and code-writing effort led by architect Mike Watkins.
The village is located at the foot on a funicular railway leading to Lookout Moun-tain, and is also home to a large chemical manufacturer whose facilities make up the northern part of the town center.
The end result was a plan that conserved existing bungalows, increased density in the town center, added ample cycling facilities, and made connections to the adjacent neighborhood of Alton Park.

GATEWAY ECO-INDUSTRIAL VILLAGE STAFFORD SHORE VILLAGE CENTER & MEDITECH CAMPUS
The Stafford Lands Project is a study of the TND development potential of a 660+ acre former quarry site in Tiverton Rhode Island. The 4 parcels stretch from bluffs overlooking Mount Hope Bay to the town’s large upland reservoir Stafford Pond.
Development was meant to include not just the typical mix of office, retail, and residential uses, but also extensive industrial and agricultural areas. The site is also favorably situated to generate wind power from the strong prevailing ocean breeze channelled into the bay.
Due to the large land area, and sensitive rural and natural surround-ings, the development was divided into several small villages and hamlets, surrounded in belts of agricultural land, and further out by belts of natural preserve land. Using this method it was possible to protect 50% of the avail-able land in agricultural and natural trusts, never to be further exploited.
Many methods to promote pedestrian street viability were used in the denser areas including shared streets, skinny streets, and active alleys. The overall result is villages with very compact centers and a compressed transect, allowing residents comfortable and quick access to the surround-ing countryside on foot. Networks of trails and recreational areas within the preserve lands ensure that even the natural areas are a true amenity.
