4. Municipal Building
The parti for this design
is derived from the interstitial
spaces created by the
surrounding street grid, the EW
line, and the recommended 20
degrees of south line for ideal
solar heating. This concept
evolved into two masses with
a transparent connector. The
landscape in front of the
building was designed to be
used by the community as a
garden, recreation space, and
exhibit space. The building
masses are interpreted by the
landscape through the use of
tree species. This project took
place during the pursuit of the
B.S. in Architecture, Autumn
Quarter, 2006.
5. Hampton Mansion
Pump House
Ice House
Located in Towson, Maryland,
the Hampton National Historic
Site is managed by the National
Park Service. Ann McKee was
commissioned to complete a
Historic Structures Report for
both the Pump House(top
row) and the Ice House(bottom
row), and KANN Partners was
the consulting firm. As a Co-
operative Education student for
KANN Partners, I was the
Project Designer and was
responsible for the investigation
of each structures’ current
condition, drawings of the
structures, suggestions for
treatment for them, and the
compilation of the investigation
results. I was directly supervised
and guided by Mimi Giguérè.
6. the King Mansion
The King Family Mansion is
located in Kings-Mills, Ohio.
At the start of this project in
2007, it had recently been
acquired by the township who
was seeking a new use for the
structure. As a Cooperative
Education student at P.A.S.T.
I was involved with creating
documentation of the historic
structure, including photos and
drawings, and the investigation
into possible programmatic
uses of the building. first floor plan
7. Greenhills
Town Home
Greenhills, Ohio is one of three
greenbelt towns built under the
FDR administration for middle
class families. Originally a haven
in the park, recent decades have
brought hard times upon the
community. In an attempt to
attract new families, the village
has bought several properties
only to tear down existing
structures to replace with new
town homes. This studio was
an exploration into how the
existing unit may be converted
to retain the historic structures
while creating a welcoming
environment for new families.
Here, the project is approached
by transitioning a three unit
structure into a spacious two
unit through renovation by stock
fixtures that are easily purchased.
8. Cranbrook Spa
This spa was designed to situate
itself on the existing Cranbrook
site in Michigan. Here, the
program of the space is divided
into a “hard” program of wet
spaces including a sauna and
plunge pool, and “soft” program
including massage areas, guest
rooms, and reception. This
division is evident through a
distinct change in materials
of the two masses with the
front “soft” portion containing
the main entry and the “hard”
portion opening onto formal
gardens in the rear. This project
took place during the pursuit of
the B.S. in Architecture, Spring
Quarter, 2008.

10. Stair and Lightbox
The two projects pictured are a
stair and a light box. Each were
designed in a group of students,
including myself, derived from
personal iterations. Both of
these projects were created to
fit within the concept of a nine
square and dealt with variation.
The stair is one of nine and a
study in hue. The box is a cube
of nine and an investigation into
manipulations of daily
light patterns.

This elementary school was
bought in order to expand
a culinary arts program in
Baltimore, Maryland, but both

As a Cooperative Education

I was responsible for the
investigation of the current
