SKILLSET
MULTI-TALENTED
selected project creative#1
We created an open lobby with a CnC metal wall to create interest. I took pictures on the way home from work for a week. then I abstracted them into a silhouette. I converted the images to a dxf file for the metal manufacturer to cut and powder coat. Behind the panels we used rusted metal panels to give the wall some warmth.
Problem
The client wanted a big gesture towards the community. They wanted a lobby that would invite the neighborhood into the space.
Solution

Project Statement
The history of Snoqualmie is tied in with the lumber industry. But even though the lumber
industry has left Snoqualmie, remnants of it remain. There is now a giant building lying
dormant, what better than to reuse it as a indoor adventure center. The program includes
indoor mountain biking, climbing walls and several ropes courses. There only a handful indoor mountain bike parks in the nation, and none within such a dynamic space like this.
selected project technical #1
I was an integral part of the design team for both projects. I was the primary drafter and modeler/renderer. I was in charge of drafting our concepts and then expanding on the chosen concept to create documents that where sufficient for construction. I also worked hand in hand with consultants (structural, metal fabricators, building envelope, storefront) to ensure that our construction sets was well coordinated and create high performance buildings.
My Role
I worked with the daylighting lab to see how our concepts performed. We created a large model. We had three schemes: a monitor/skylight scheme, a clerestory scheme and a hybrid scheme. We found out that the hybrid scheme to take the best of both schemes. I allowed for even light throughout plus gave a punch of light where needed.
Daylighting
I have worked on numerous project types (single family, multi family, mixed use, medical, educational, commercial). I have a broad base of knowledge of building assemblies and architectural materials.
Technical Knowledge
I have permitted buildings in numerous jurisdictions. I have experience in making our designs ADA complient.
Code Knowledge
Demanding Client
The clients where pretty hands on, but had a tough time visualizing the house through just plans and elevations. I was put in charge to build and maintain a 3d digital model. It was a living document, i updated it after every client meeting.

Creating a Vision
We were charged create a presentation of a community in Delta, BC. The past phases where all single family homes. For the final phase the client wanted to have a little more density.
Software Used:
Google SketchUp
Podium (google plug-in)
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Google Earth
Rendered Floorplan
I also created a rendered floor plan to make the technical drawings come to life. This helped explain our programming as well as material pallete. I used AutoCad, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to pull this off.
