This visitor center is designed for Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois. The building is placed to the north of the site where visitors will have to pass down and through a dense layer of trees before emerging into a clearing surrounding the house. The trees, glass, and inner core of the house create various layers of enclosure that are unexpected from the simple glass house. The visitor center mimics these surprising layers of complexity and enclosure. While the Farnsworth House is very outward looking, the visitor center reverses the language of the house by turning the glass into thick concrete walls and the structure into voids creating a very inward looking building. The facade is simple, with the complexity of spaces located within. The building is divided into two to refl ect the geometry and symmetry of the Farnsworth House. The thick concrete walls contain various layers of enclosure within the building, including light wells and a sunken courtyard created by voids. The result is a surprising quality of daylight within the solid enclosing walls.

This Air-frame and Power Plant Instructional Facility is designed for Parkland Community College and is located at Willard Airport in Savoy, Illinois. The building provides aircraft hangar space, classrooms, shops and offi ces for aircraft mechanical engineering students and faculty. The concept of the project was to integrate the building with the landscape and to utilize the site and building orientation to take advantage of sunlight. To achieve this, the building is embedded into a sloped landscape and rotated for maximum southern and northern light exposure. The earth is bermed up to the second fl oor on the southern side of the building and creates an interesting exterior space where students can hang out between classes. The building is divided into three distinct parts: the aircraft hangar, the entrance and lobby space, and the remaining educational spaces. The educational spaces are all located in the long wing of the building that is extruded right out of the bermed landscape. The green lawn continues up the side of the building and onto the roof. The second fl oor is set back to create an outdoor space that acts as a continuation of the communal space and creates a space that is in-between the inside and outside. The entrance and lobby space acts as a transition between the long wing of the building and the hangar. The aircraft hangar contrasts the rest of the building with its arched form, translucent skin, and Glulam structure.
This project reimagines a traditional American suburb by transforming a quarter section of Brookfi eld, Wisconsin from an unwelcoming stark environment into an ecologically and experientially diverse landscape. After analyzing the current ethos of the suburb, the studio collectively proposed a new master plan for a neighborhood that fosters a variety of sights, interactions, spaces, and views. The plan creates housing clusters that take advantage of natural light and ecology to allow the residents to become part of the place in which they live. My approach to designing housing was to nest the houses into the site, essentially rooting them into the landscape. The cluster of homes is compact, but uses hierarchy and complexity to create a variety of experiences, spaces, and levels of privacy at multiple scales. While the houses are placed close together, no two houses actually touch each other. Privacy is created by providing a series of thresholds and outdoor spaces that must be crossed before entering the home. Each house is nested within the community, the block, its duplex or triplex, and then fi nally within its own walls. Inside each house is a massive core containing the fi replace and stairs that acts as the heart of the home and the absolute focus in the hierarchy of each cluster.

This hotel and conference center is designed as part of a campus plan for the School of Freshwater Sciences in the Inner Harbor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was designed as part of a comprehensive studio that aimed to follow the architectural design process from urban and schematic design through the construction document phase. Both the campus urban design and conceptual building design were approached with the goal of maximizing visibility of the Inner Harbor. The buildings in the campus plan are rotated to face towards the water allowing a canal and large green space to provide long range views down the Inner Harbor. The hotel and conference center is place on the south east corner where it has maximum visibility. The building form maximizes a variety of views for guest with single loaded corridors and focused views from each room. This variety of views is achieved through two intersecting bars with optimum orientation. The two bars are treated differently to enhance this variety. The main bar is solid, thick, and made of stone. It takes an additive approach with protruding windows and balconies. The second bar bends and runs into the fi rst bar. It is composed of thin layers with a perforated metal screen in front of metal panels and curtain walls. It takes a subtractive approach with recessed balconies. The intersection of these two bars is highlighted through double-height lounge spaces. The lower height of the secondary bar allows for an exterior terrace on its roof to provide another space to view the surrounding Inner Harbor.
