Graduate Studio / Study Abroad
River Beat is the result of a ten-week, collaborative
student effort to design the master plan of Zhengzhous
proposed Waterfront Leisure and Cultural District. After
traveling to Beijing and Zhengzhou and participating
in a multidisciplinary workshop, the studio focused
on designing a dynamic, walkable environment while
working within a pre-existing street plan for the city.
The scope of the project included master planning and
architectural development for a variety of programs
including a train station, hotel, commercial/office space,
and an environmental education center.

New Arbor Court

Graduate Systems Studio
New Arbor Court represents a sustainable solution to
dense, beautiful, and exciting housing for the city of Ann
Arbor. A holistic design approach encompassing important
environmental issues such as building materials and
construction, stormwater management, and the creation
of welcoming public spaces ensures that the mixed-use
complex contributes to a culture of ecological stewardship
in Ann Arbor. This project leverages regionally-sourced
heavy timbers as an emerging construction technique,
and the design of block and building forms reflect the
materials most efficient structural assemblages. Warm,
inviting spaces and diverse unit types ensure an exciting
mix of people and activities.

Honorable Mention
2015 ULI Hines Competition
Rooted responds to the needs of the Claiborne neighborhood
in New Orleans by drawing from the strength and
performance of the mangrove trees that grace the coast of
the Mississippi Delta. Using the metaphor of the continuous
root network of the trees to connect and empower
community members, this project prioritizes pedestrian
interaction and urban infill. Like the mangrove trees, the
project also drastically increases the water storage capacity
of the surrounding area, increasing resiliency in the case of
heavy storms and flooding.

O.U. R . H o u m a
HUD Student Design Competition Entry
O.U.R. Houma draws it name from the existing mantra of the
Houma-Terrebone Housing Authority, which is A Commitment
to Service, A Passion for People. This competition entry
employs a modest yet sophisticated design strategy for senior
housing. By choosing to respond to the scale of the singlefamily dwelling neighborhood, O.U.R. Houma allows for lowincome seniors to be more integrated into the neighborhood.
This engagement is further emphasized with the integration
and re-design of an existing park, which allows for more
programmatic and financial flexibility. As a LEED Silver project
with lightweight construction, this residential complex is a
feasible yet exciting proposal for local seniors.

Worked directly with project manager to renovate and expand tenants
office space in downtown Indianapolis. With minimal guidance, worked
to deliver permit/pricing sets to the client and city inspectors. Personally
designed several project details, especially millwork pieces, and
assembled weekly drawing sets.
This project was largely self-driven, and was an excellent opportunity to
learn how to draw interior architectural details and assemble a complete
project.

China Global Design Studio

Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China
As a part of a graduate design studio, several students from the University of
Michigan M. Arch program traveled to Beijing, China as part of participation in
the International Design Workshop for Waterfront Leisure and Cultural District.
In Beijing, U of M students paired with students from the Beijing University of
Civil Engineering and Architecture and urban planning professionals from SPD
Planning Design Corporation.
The multidisciplinary teams then traveled to Zhengzhou, China to participate in a
design competition to explore unique proposals for the citys new development.
The proposals were presented to the client, CSCEC, as well as local and regional
city officials.

Ghana Design / Build

Abrafo-Odumase, Ghana, West Africa
For six weeks in the summer of 2012, a group of students from the
Department of Architecture and Interior Design at Miami University
traveled to Ghana to participate in the design and building of a
teachers cottage in a village in the rainforest. Working directly
with villagers, local materials, and traditional building techniques,
the group learned about the power of people and place-making in
architecture.
As part of the design/build program, students traveled around
the country, learning about West Africas unique, rich culture and
architectural vernacular. A deeper connection with the people and
land enabled a more sensitive and inspired design solution.
