Completed Studio Projects

This page showcases some of the projects completed in studio terms at the University of Oregon over the past three years. The first studio term was a combination of many smaller projects while the other studios focused on one or two building typologies.

NASA Multi-Story Complex

This design project was based on designing a building for the Johnson Space Center, which incorporated training spaces, a large pool, simulator spaces, laboratories, and short-term housing for astronauts. The process for this project started with designing a structure that follows the current patterns for the JSC campus while still modernizing a bit. Some of the patterns focused on for this specific project were accessible campus, walkable campus, visible doorways, and enduring structure and materials. While following these patterns, there was a strong desire to emphasize the natural light and outdoor space, even with the heat that Texas has in the summer. Completed Fall 2024

Public Restroom

The purpose of this assignment was to rejuvenate a once beautiful landscape that had been partially ruined by the installment of a canal throughout the land. As a studio team, we worked together to bring back the natural beauty that was once there through minimalist structures intended to emphasize the lands natural shape and flow. As an individual project I took on designing a public outhouse that would not only connect to nature but also ensure that people felt comfortable in the space. The goal was for the structure to remain simple while still being elegant in a sense. It based just off the river edge and features a design that is intended to collect rainwater that can later be used to flush, and clean one's hands, and/or it can be used for a quick outdoor shower. Completed Winter 2022

Boathouse and Community Hall

The goal of this project was to design a space where a crew team could store their gear in addition to a community hall. The site was a fairly secluded forest right on the edge of a lake where the crew teams could practice. I sought to design a space that was simple yet had a bit of something more. To do this, I created a roof that resembled a flower on top of a rectangular frame. To maintain simplicity, the boathouse had a simple structure with a facade that matched the materials of the community hall. Completed Fall 2022.

Portland Performance Hall

The thought behind the layout of this building as well as the elevation is to stick with the theme which seems to create the landscape around the center but also modernize it a bit. Instead of having a brick facade, the structure will have a terracotta cover. The varying lengths of the tile represent the rain in Oregon and how it drips down the building. The main goal though was to emphasize the theaters and give people a wonderful space to visit. The theaters were placed on two floors in order to emphasize the importance of each. Completed Spring 2023.

Office Outside an Office

The purpose of this studio was to create a space that can be used to work, while not being an office. Because the idea is for the buildings to be as far away from an office as possible, a greenhouse mixed with a ceramic studio seemed like it created the ideal calm atmosphere while still having nooks and small amounts of ambient noise for a working space. Additionally, these spots allow for one to take a break from their work and participate in other activities around. Completed Fall 2023
