The concept is to provide a safe facility for children and adults that also engages the community at a residential level, but also seeks to engage youth by becoming a beacon of safety, sustainability, & community.

Scaffold Pavilion Christchurch, New Zealand (Fall 2012)

“The scaffold pavilion was a prototype for a means to re-activate an earthquake devastated CBD using “transitional-city” materials (ie: scaffolding, blue scaffold netting, shrink wrap). Through a facebook marketing campaign/chalkboard sign up, the experiment resulted in bbqs, various live performances, video projection art show, street cricket matches, random dancing, and lunch breaks. It utilized solar energy to power internal lighting triggered at sunset, and once disassembled, all materials either went back into their previous circulation (scaffolding, stage decks, pallets, lights), were recycled (shrink wrap), or used by friends ongoing projects (netting, solar setup). It lasted a total of 8 days to coincide with the first annual Festival of Transitional Architecture in Christchurch.” Involvement: concept, design, fundraising, construction, management, marketing, recycling

Carpinelli Barn Guest House Paradise Valley, Arizona Summer 2014 - Under Construction

The Carpinelli family required a guesthouse out back to serve as a sort of ‘hotel’ for their out of state frequently visiting family. They also wanted to revive a hand hewn oak barn from Canada that they had preserved over they years. The combination of these two ideas sprouted a design that was truly theirs, detailing the no longer structural timbers to be the interior skeleton of a both luxurious & eclectic Arizona experience for anyone that visits the Carpinelli Family.

5HJLRQ6SHFLÀF%XV6KHOWHUV Tucson, Arizona Spring 2011

The shelter prototypes were designed as a modular structure with the ability to adapt to any given site within the city of Tucson, Arizona. Each shelter is modified and shifted, according to orientation and location, for complete shade during the summer months and to provision for direct visual contact between the bus driver and a bus rider. The shelter is based on a 2-foot grid steel hollow section structure, able to accept nearly any cladding material, is completely ADA accessible, and can be built in less than a week by a small group of students Involvement: screen wall design & fabrication, DD, CD’s, construction

Embedded Network

Nature Education Center at YMCA Camp Surf Imperial Beach, California Spring 2011

This project is located on the immediate coastline at the YMCA Camp Surf, a resident camp that serves as a hub for education about conservation of coastal wildlife for Southern California. The Center is located adjacent to the outdoor dining pavilion directly on top of a rusting metal sea wall. The center also functions as an extension of the dining facility and can be fully opened and closed depending on weather conditions. This proposal includes replacing the existing sea wall with a new concrete one with embedded boardwalk. This will reestablish circulation to the coastline and then into the 5 rich ecological zones that exist at Camp Surf, each of which to have a specific outdoor classroom to teach about their respective ecosystem as well as the themes of the Nature Education Center itself.

YMCA Camp Surf Improvements Imperial Beach, California Designed Summer 2011, Built Summer 2014

After working with the Executive Director with the concept of the Nature Education Center during my Capstone Project, I was hired on to develop a design to replace the existing outdoor dining tent with a multi-functional dining/gathering facility around the existing kitchen. Using custom bowstring trusses, board and baton siding, ocean facing overhead doors, and a copper roof; the new facility provides a year round, family friendly, efficient, oceanfront camp experience to the user. The result is the McKinney Oceanfront Center which is under construction as of 2014. While working as a YMCA design consultant, I also developed concepts for a prototypical village cabin and a skatepark & sport complex.

Open Source Urban Development Christchurch, New Zealand Summer 2012, competition

As a response to the Christchurch Earthquakes, the Open Source Village is a development concept which seeks to explore self aggregating modular housing units with a framework that allows for user controlled expansion and growth to create the urban village. Our proposal offered a means of living which gives control to the community of people that invests in the in the urban village, based upon rules of natural growth patterns.
