This project explored the use of vegetated walls and roofs on tall buildings in Downtown Raleigh, estimating installation costs, annual maintenance costs, any energy use reductions and incorporating current local commercial electrical rates, to estimate the financial feasibility and future installation strategies.The project site is the location of the existing Duke Energy Building, 411 S. Fayetteville St., Raleigh, North Carolina.

The model (right) represents a typical floor, 6th to 24th floors. The vertical purple element represents the vegetated screen. The height of the vegetation affected the simulations more than the density of the vegetation.
The graph is the estimated energy use reduction using vegetation screens.
The model (right) represents the first four floors, using vegetated walls. The gray wall represents the walls with vegetation (South & West) and the blue wall represents walls without vegetation (North & East).
The graph is the estimated energy use reduction using the vegetation walls.
The use of vegetated walls saw very little energy use reduction when the core of the wall was built to Ashrae 90.1-2004 specifications.
Some of the concepts used in the design of the planter-1. integrate the planter as a part of the unitized wall panel system to reduce fabrication costs, 2. the planter to be otherwise invisible from the ground, 3. the planter to be used as a horizontal shading device, 4. a platform between the planter and wall to ease window and plant maintenance.

An accidental inspiration-a collage project in a landscape architecture course, LAR-582 Advanced Landscape Representation and Communication, was very influential in shaping the building and the site plan for this project. The collage led me to design a tall building in Chicago that was not the usual cliche’ male form.
The project site was the abandoned Chicago Spire project by Santiago Calatrava, west of DuSable Park.
A major hurdle for this project was maintaining egress code compliance as the building rotated around the stationary core.
The goal was to explore alternative methods of rendering; blending medias and colors while avoiding the use of digital technologies.

A multi-use project with retail & office space on the first two floors and the horticulture center’s plant growing area on the third level. Mechanical equipment on the fourth floor, residential units from fifth to tenth floors and a restaurant and garden on the top floor.
Vegetation on the building is used in several ways. A botanical garden on the top floor, the residential units have opportunities to grow plants on their patios and there is a plant screen on the west wall to reduce solar heat gain. On the third floor is the horticulture center’s plant growing area and there is a native tall tree interior courtyard on the ground floor.
To avoid having a large parking deck that might be required for such a large commercial project in downtown Raleigh, a below grade robotic parking system is proposed. Vehicles access the site from the south on West Morgan Street, a through traffic street. Pedestrians access the site from the north on Hillsborough Street, which the City of Raleigh has designated a pedestrian friendly street and street level retail occupancies are recommended.

My goal for this project is three fold: 1. Anchor the intersection and act as a counterpoint to the open plaza to the northwest of the site; 2. Preserve as much open area on the site as possible and 3. Engage the primary pedestrian traffic route on W. Main St., along the south edge of the site.
Two prominent features of the facility is the roof/rafter glulam system utilizing mass customization manufacturing (Exploded View: Structural System) and the exterior metal mesh screen, screening the upper floor along the site’s edge.

The Rebecca Vaughan House is a historic restoration project being completed as funds become available. It is being completed in accordance with the Dept. of the Interior’s “The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring & Reconstructing Historic Buildings.” Originally built in 1792, it is being restored to its period of significance, 1831, the time of the Nat Turner’s Slave Rebellion. This is the last house where the murders had taken place during the rebellion. As part of the restoration master plan, I have researched typical construction methods and materials to be employed as well as some modern materials that would not be visible.

The Chatham St. Redevelopment Project is an ongoing adaptive re-use project in Sanford where the developer is also the general contractor.
Working closely with the owner/contractor, my job as the project designer was to guide the project through the NC Rehab Code, help stabilize the structures and contribute to the general design of the streetscape.
As tenants lease the available units, my involvement continues with the interior designs and upfitting. I have completed a restaurant, a general medical practice office, and three office spaces.

This project was an adaptive re-use project of a Nationally Registered Historic Site. The Humber House was built in 1895 and is currently being used by the NC Office of Archives and History, Dept. of Cultural Resources.
The project proved to be quite challenging, adapting a 19th century balloon framed structure to meet current ADA & Fire Safety codes, updating the electrical and HVAC systems while preserving the patina of the original house, to include all of the wall paper.
During the course of construction, many structural defects were exposed that was hidden during the initial inspection. As the project designer, it was crucial for me to work closely with the contractor and to keep the architect abreast of the situation to resolve any unforeseen issues as they arose.
The library sits on an extremely tight site in downtown Edenton, in the heart of the Historic District. The addition more than doubled the size of the existing library.
The original building, itself not an historic building, and the addition, had to meet all the criteria of the local Historic Properties Commission.

A fast track design/build project that was completed in less than 7-months at a cost of $57/SF. The 40,162SF program included a warehouse w/ shipping & receiving, a call center w/ IT facility, business offices and hazardous materials storage.
As the project designer, it was my responsibility to coordinate all of the consultants, especially the general contractor, pre-engineered building fabricator and the structural engineer.

My first new construction project where I was the designer. The project was driven by a limited budget and the existing structures to include a ‘70’s modernist classrooms credited to A.B. Harris and 60’s residential structure converted to offices on the site.
As the project designer, I included the Montessori school’s philosophy of using as much natural daylighting as possible and an open floor plan in the classrooms.

Working with a former student, Jessica Staton, who handled all of the rendering, we designed a tiny homes and community center. The main focus of this entry is ease of fabrication, transportation and affordability of tiny homes. With this in mind, we looked at SIPS (Structural Insulated Panel System) as our core material, both for the tiny home and the community center.
SIPS allows much of the fabrication to be completed at the factory rather than the site.
Aesthetically, we looked at rural farm buildings, the farm house and the chicken coop. Using low cost corrugated metal siding on all of the buildings, we tried to soften the metal siding and create some association with wood lap siding my orienting the siding horizontally on the community center.

The competition was to design a transportable shelter with a maximum size limit, using as much re-used and recycled materials from the ReSpace warehouse as possible.
To make it durable and able to be transported multiple times, I have based my design upon a used 20ft. shipping container.

Miami, not having a central civic and cultural center, the competition was to create a concept of what one might look like. The site was preselected and a building program provided.
I assembled a design team and acted as the team leader. The team consisted of myself (Cathedral of Miami Complex), Brian Shawcroft (Municipal Government Complex & Cultural & Performing Arts Center),Rhonda Angerio (Luxury & Young Professionals Housing & Retail/Commercial Spaces) and Frank Liggett (Landscape & Urban Planning).
The major obstacles for the project was that the site was essentially three parcels divided by major thoroughfares.
