3. Stanford - McMurtry Art and Art History
Palo Alto, California
96,000 sf
Completed in 2015
DS+R / Bora Project
The new home for the Department of Art
and Art History is an interdisciplinary hub
for the Arts at Stanford. The building fosters
interaction an collaboration among students
and faculty and supports the integration of
the arts into university life.
The 96,000 square foot building unites the
programs of art practice, design, art history,
film and media studies, and documentary
film and video in a single location.
The building also includes art studios,
screening spaces, film editing rooms, ex-
hibition space, the Experimental Media
Art Lab and Sound Studio and the Art and
Architecture Library.
Bora acted as the executive architect for
this project. Our role was to document and
realize this project from Diller Scofidio’s
design. I acted as project architect for this
project from schematic design all the way
through the completion of construction.

5. Block 20
Portland, Oregon
300,000 sf
Estimated completion 2018
Block 20 looks out over the urban oasis of
Fields Park towards the Willamette River,
offering commanding views of the working
city and beyond. As part of the North Pearl
District master plan we executed for Hoyt,
the five-story podium base speaks to the
pervasive low rise industrial fabric of histor-
ic Pearl buildings, while the 21-story tower
rises to meet city planning goals for taller,
thinner, higher density residences in this
neighborhood.
One of our goals in this project was to em-
phasize and further establish the character
of the North Pearl as a gateway to the city,
with a distinctly contemporary aesthetic.
Housing a total of 149 units, the building will
bring a fresh material palette to the neigh-
borhood with dark gray textured cement
panels on the north and south facades
contrasted to lighter toned cement plaster at
the east and west facades. Expansive decks
face east and west, and the landscaped
podium roof terrace gives residents a spot
to gather, mingle, and reflect on the city that
wraps around them.

7. Mercy Corps Global Headquarters
Portland, Oregon
40,000 sf expansion / 42,000 sf renovation
Completed in 2010
LEED Platinum
Mercy Corps Global Headquarters is a place
of action. It is designed to invite, teach and
encourage visitors – especially students –
to get personally involved in answering the
great world challenges of our day: poverty,
hunger and conflict.
The organization’s new headquarters exem-
plifies their sustainable, community-focused
approach. The project restored and dou-
bled the size of the Packer-Scott Building,
a historic Portland landmark, and features
a green roof, glass sunscreen shades that
darken according to temperature, low flow
fixtures and resource-friendly landscaping.
The headquarters also includes the Action
Center – a window to the world – featur-
ing interactive exhibits that educate visitors
about the constantly changing nature of re-
lief and development work and provide sug-
gestions for concrete ways people can act
now to help.
Sustainable Design Highlights:
Restoration and/or reuse of 75% of the exist-
ing Packer-Scott building
35% of the building’s energy supplied with
green power
Reduction of potable water used for irrigation
by more than 50% and potable water used
for flush and flow fixtures by more than 75%
On-site filtration of stormwater runoff through
bioswales
Glass sunscreens that shade southern-ex-
posed glass and darken according to exteri-
or temperature
Energy efficiency measures reduce energy
use by 30%
Recycling 95% of construction waste

9. CYAN/PDX
Portland, Oregon
380,000 sf
Completed in 2009
Hacker / GBD Project
Cyan/PDX is a progressive living concept,
built with green technologies and building
innovations. The 16-story building houses
353 urban homes in downtown Portland,
a vibrant urban neighborhood with great
transportation options. Cyan’s dynamic
design is a direct response to the active
pedestrian and vehicular activity surround-
ing the building. The “weave” pattern of
windows creates a tapestry of constantly
changing light patterns, and a connecting
plaza creates a variety of exterior spaces
from ground floor units’ private terraces to a
large public terrace.
Sustainable Design Highlights:
On-site rainwater storage
Non-toxic finishes and regionally sourced
materials
Energy-efficient appliances
Water conserving fixtures
Eco-roof on the podium
100% fossil-fuel free with all power provided
through existing “green power” programs
95% of construction waste recycled
Certification: LEED Gold
