P h i l a d e l p h i a , P AR o t h k o / T u r r e l lHow can a museum have physical presence amongst such towering creations? The top heavy context which surrounds the site in downtown Philadelphia reveals and projects a dance with the sun with the site. Rather than react in a way that reaches for light, this project aims to take advantage of the light conditions presently on site and set them free within the earth.

This project is a study in the ability to use what I see as the manifestation of all living & non-living things’ connection to each other: Shadow. When amongst the sun, light hits us and shadows are revealed. If it were possible to collect all the shadows on the earth, they would show a perfect image of a single source. In a sense, they are one and the same, light and shadow. The shadow/ light patterns created on the “empty” site, revealed a building already in existence within the site as part of a greater context, more stellar & more solar. Below is the projections of light as taken throughout a year’s time frame and shaved to the most persistant of the lighted areas as they hit the gound plane. This informed the placement of all above ground elements of the architecture.

J E D u n n K a n s a s C i t y , M OThe JE Dunn Headquarters in downtown Kansas City, MO was at the time a great new development for the government district. Replacing a gas station, this new building faces west towards the grassy mall across the street which spans between the courthouse and City Hall. On the East side however, is a new garage serving the JE Dunn Staff as well as the neighborhood.

When I began at 360, the JE Dunn project was coming to a close. The adjacent parking garage was however still in a late design phase. I worked on the team designing the metal panels for the light openings. In addition, I used Revit, 3d Studio Max, Photoshop and Illustrator to create the images for their press releases and signage.

Working on the Heartland Community Church project, I was able to witness and take part in an absolute blank slate of an interior refinish. Taking over an old Rhodes Furniture Outlet building, we were able to transform the expansive open, yet dark space into a light and airy place of worship.

K a n s a s C i t y , M OS p i n ! P i z z aan effort to create a more urban style for their already successful brand, the owners decided to place a Spin at 50th and Main in the Brookside neighborhood south of the Country Club Plaza.

As lead designer on the project, I worked intimately with ownership to help realize their goals. This included many custom fabrications such as light fixtures, a steel oven and wine racks requiring on site coordination.

K a n s a s C i t y , M OZ e s tZest Restaurant is designed to bring traditional American food together with great wine. In this project, I designed the very public wine cellar used to exhibit all their wines. Included in the design is the wood and glass room as well as the steel racks on which all the wine is stored.

M e t l i f e S t a d i u mIn the design of this 82,000 seat stadium, I worked on a two member team designing the exterior skin and the “corner-stone” pieces. The team worked closely with Bruce Mau Design to develop the exterior atmosphere.

Later in the design of the stadium, I worked with a team to design the clubs, suites and locker rooms.
