Design Concept
Mixed Use Development Ecological CenterParking and Commercial StructureThe lower level of this structure is designed for commercial space that can help boost the economy and provide an attraction to people outside of the community. There is outdoor seating space outside of the front of the businesses and vegetation to provide shade. Parking is located on the top two levels of the structure. People going to the museum, gardens, shopping center, or art center will park here.
Empowered MuseumThe Empowered Museum is an alternative energy museum that is proposed to be built by a partnership of The College School and the city of Webster Groves. This museum will educated students and the public on energy created by wind, solar, water, and human powered machines. Outside of the museum is a bike powered water feature that provides water to the display gardens around the museum. The water is collected by the roof of the museum and held in cisterns until it is used in the water feature or in the hydrologic system.
Residential The residential space provides 8 dwelling units within the mixed use development. The residents will have access to the 12 parking spaces behind the building and also the parking structure across the street. There are private plots of land between the buildings that the residents can plant and grow their own kitchen, herb, or flower gardens. The design for this space was created by maximizing usage for this plot of land and the need for protected public and private spaces.
Commercial and Public Realm The commercial and public realm consist of the lower level of the buildings, the lawn, and the space closest to the streets. These spaces provide social engagement and community interactions that the current site is lacking. Business that are envisioned for this development are local cafes, coffee shop, restaurants, and the existing Summit Jewelry. Employees of surrounding businesses can take their lunch break here and enjoy a sandwich or coffee on the lawn.

Performing and Visual Arts CenterArts BuildingThe Performing Art Center is a two level building with 8343 Sq. Ft. of practice space, meeting rooms, and offices. Connected to the building is a covered performance stage for concerts and plays. This is an appropriate amenity to the Green District because there are many businesses in close proximity that focus on musical and visual arts, and this space allows people to come together in a larger venue.
The Great LawnThe design of the lawn was inspired by the law in millennium park that doubles as a performance venue and has a minimal overhead structure. The overhead structure is arched beams with steel cables stretched accross them so that canvas art work can bring life to the lawn and allow for creative expression by the community.

Trail headBike PathsThe bike paths are designed to connect the Green District to the existing Gateway Greenway trail system and to the Old Historic District of Webster Groves, which is its old downtown. The trail head has Bike parking structures that can hold up to 40 bikes including 10 bike rentals. The parking for the trail head is located on the south end of the lot and it includes 11 spaces.
Trail head CafeThe cafe is a resource to bikers using the trail. It is 1810 Sq. Ft. and there is additional dining outside on the southeast side of the building. The front of the building has an overhead structure so people can sit and watch the street. The drive way behind the cafe is a one way drive through to minimize vehicular infrastructure.

Focusing on the restoration and educational outreach, the ecological sanctuary addresses the issues of water quality and stormwater runoff that effect lake Keith and the Illinois River Watershed. Existing natural elements were protected, and a rich diversity of plants were proposed to restore and diversify the current ecosystem. The Ecological Sanctuary provides habitat for the endangered species on site, the Cave Fish and Grey Bats, while educating the public of their existence and endangerment in an aesthetically pleasing environment.
The image on the left shows the restored fish hatcheries and wetlands, and the proposed boardwalks.

The landscape transforms from a well lit, visible space into a dark, enclosed space as it progresses toward the cave. The experience begins with comfort and freedom of grassy meadows and hiking trials. It then flows into curiosity and then into an uneasiness as the vegetation becomes dense, the paths become jagged, and the solid ground becomes a wetland.
queensway elevated Communitythe Queensway Connection: Elevating the Public Realm Competition was an ideas competition to propose a future park at the location of the preexisting Queensway. the focus of the competition was to create a point of entrance, and design a means of elevation up to the platform. the second focus was on the park that can be activated in addition to recreation and leisure.
Focusing on pedestrian accessibility, terminating views, and appropriate public and private spaces, this community creates inviting and sustainable living. This design encourages recreation and fosters connection to nature with its integrated bike trail and natural areas.
The perspective on the left is a preliminary concept sketch that portrays the ambiance and rich cultural aspects within a walkable community.

Focusing on educational purposes, this project accommodates the surrounding neighborhoods, and acts as a gathering space for social events and farmers’ markets. The basis for this design was a main gathering space surrounded by all means of crop production, these include crop beds, raised planters, overhead structures for vines, hoop houses and a green house for extended growth, an orchard, and apiary boxes.

Throughout my studies, I focused on how sun and shade effects space, how color is relative, and how simple shapes can come together to create a design and a space.
A variety of hand graphics were produced using different media, including Prisma color pencil, graphite, charcoal, tech pens, acrylic paint, and pastel on Canson paper, vellum, canvas, and bond.
