My philosophy is to

design with purpose,

definition, and focus

using layers of color, light

and texture to add variety

and richness.

Tadao Ando’s Church on the Water

Diagramming is an

essential skill to have to

analyze important design

elements of a project.

In Tadao Ando’s Church

on the Water, Ando made

it evident that the cross

was a significant design

element for the Church.

he created images and

views of the cross

throughout the space.

Another meaningful

aspect of Ando’s design is

how he integrated the

building with the land, as

if it was emerging from

the earth.

Also, Ando deliberately

designed the space to

guide guests through the

Church in order for them

to experience and

appreciate all of it’s

unique features.

A Weekend Retreat Lake House

In order to design the

Weekend Retreat Lake

House, solar orientation,

natural ventilation,

topography, exterior

relationships, lake front

views, and interior space

planning were studied.

The project called for a

modest single bedroom

retreat with room to host

two to three guests. The

first floor is divided into

four quadrants: entry,

living room, dining room

and kitchen.

A spiral staircase leads up

to the second floor loft

which is accompanied by a

personal shower/toilet

room and laundry

facilities.

Shown to the right are a

one – point perspective of

the dining area with a lake

view and the first floor

plan with furniture

arrangements.

Medium: Rapidograph pen

on Mylar.

Rick Larson’s New York Loft

The New York Loft was

designed for businessman

Rick Larson and was

inspired by the Art Deco

movement and works by

Charles Rennie

Mackintosh.

A warm palette of cream

and orange was chosen

for the space and teal

accents on walls and

furniture echo the blue-

green terra cotta brick

which bands across the

exterior building.

Unique design features

are the functional divide

with shelving, a reading

nook, functional storage

under the stairs, Guest

toilet near entry but

views shielded from

dining area, and an

expandable coffee table.

To the right are the First

Floor Plan and a 3D image

of the living area.

Medium: Pen and colored

pencil on Mylar, Marker

Pediatrics Office

The design of the

Pediatrics Office was

inspired by nature. My

goal of the design was to

create a therapeutic,

relaxing, and uplifting

environment. This was

achieved by incorporating

sky-like light boxes in the

waiting area ceiling, by

painting flowing ribbons

of color on the walls,

and the use of greens and

earth tones.

As a pediatrics office, the

intent was to design a

space which comforted

small children without

intimidating them and

without excluding the

wants and needs of older

children and teens.

The program called for a

reception area, waiting

area, nurse’s station,

triage, two toilet rooms –

one ADA accessible, two

consulting offices , three

exam rooms, and an

employee break room.

Medium: Pen and Marker

on vellum. Modeling in

Revit 2010.

Progressions Hotel & Restaurant

And the 4th

Dimension Nightclub

Progressions Hotel &

Restaurant and the 4th

Dimension Nightclub was a

group project designed

around the concept of

time and the ability to

capture space in time.

Also, we wanted to merge

the historic 20’s -30’s of

Manhattan, KS with the

present and future of

Manhattan, KS.

Some of the innovative

features are a two –

story atrium space with

access to day lighting,

pixilated historic photos,

copper and silver colored

metal ceiling tiles,

Lumiblade’s OLED “You

Fade to Light” installation

in the nightclub, and

reclaimed wood doors

for Hotel bedrooms.

Design revisions and CD’s

were created for this

project.

Medium: Pen and Marker

Revit 2010.
