The Schindler House, designed by the late Rudolph Schindler, is iconic and was unlike any other house in its time. The social condition created was unconventional and, in some eyes, absurd. Creating universal spaces and minimal utilities and circulation, the Schindler House questioned the preconceived notions of “house.”
The Modern Schindler House is designed as a tribute to the Schindler House. In an attempt to borrow the same intentions as the Schindler House, the Modern version relocates the house in Ann Arbor.
Twisting the interpretation of a utility center cog, the Modern Schindler plays up the role and highlights the utility core as the vertical center of the “house.” Four studios serve different users as the Schindler did; allowing for a designated and setback entrance for privacy in the same way that Rudolph designed. Masquerading as a typical modern house but not quite an apartment building, this house allows for the users to live as privately or as publicly as they desire.

The conceptual development of the proposed recreation center for the town of Ypsilanti presented a unique opportunity to revitalize downtown by providing a new civic anchor. Locating the center at the junction between the revamped border-to-border park system, the Huron River, and the threshold into Main Street reinforces the importance of the anchor.
The 38-acre site currently sits completely vacant under ownership of the county. Such vacancy presented a Tabula Rasa in which the team took the opportunity to explore two urban development strategies as a proposal to stimulate growth and regeneration of the area.
The design of the recreation center itself progressed in the form of two proposals: the Centralized Scheme and the Storefront Scheme. Both proposals respond to a specific set of explorations as an attempt to provoke maximum public feedback. The resulting public design critique assisted in the advancement of the conceptual design of both schemes.
This project was contracted for conceptual design phase. Upon the completion of the summer, the conceptual phase also concluded. Currently, the project shows promise to materialize in continuing collaboration with Ply Architecture and MAde Studio and it is expected to begin in late 2014 or early 2015.

CONCEPTUAL MODEL
With a sister city of Seoul, Yongsan seeks to develop the infrastructure that accommodates increasing density, business development and anticipates housing the aging population.
This project seeks to provide an environment that serves a multitude of users through the duality of spaces. The project practices hi-tech strategies of daylighting through the use of a double-skin facade. Every service and feature provided attempts to negotiate the diversity of the occupants. The courtyard serves as a feature which is strategically distributed vertically between the library, the restaurants, the youth center and the residents allowing for a more privatized communal space. In addition to the program located on the lower levels, a “floating cafeteria” sits on the riverside tower allowing residents, workers and visitors to enjoy the view while interacting with a variety of people.
In an attempt to connect the project with the adjacent civic anchors located across the river, a large gestural connection bridge beneath the youth center stitches the project with the surrounding context seamlessly.

The water landscapes of the Great Lakes Region are among the most heavily infrastructurized territories in the world, and their transformation over centuries reveals the underlying geo-political agendas aimed at positioning the region globally. Two countries, eight states, one province, dozens of counties, and thousands of municipalities share some responsibility for protecting water quality.
This research explores the landscape qualities of the four straits that embody the continuity of the Great Lakes system: St. Mary’s River, St. Clair River, Detroit River, and Niagara River.
These rivers are the only bi-national Areas of Concern in the Great Lakes Region, as jointly defined by the US and Canada. This classification indicates that the environmental health of the water in these zones is highly comprised and establishes a set of requirements for recovery as a priority for both nations. The project brings together the complex policy frameworks that define water quality standards with the material qualities of the landscapes along the shoreline of these four areas.

Reminiscence of a time of denser and more vibrant urbanism, the proposal for the seed bank formalizes the civic aspirations of a nascent downtown Detroit. The design displays a careful articulation of vertical and horizontal volumes that reads both context and climatic constraints. The storage of highly sensitive seeds delineates defiant vertical silos facing the main street, and a series of terraced planting beds for the researchers and visitors face the quiet inner a side of the block.
While combining multiple functions, the building engages the public with an interactive set of educational elements, yet allowing a clear gradation from the most public to most private areas. The circulation patterns help demarcate these thresholds: from the easy and continuous access to the café, the communal gathering space, and the display areas located in the ground level, to the highly protected access to the seed-storage vertical silos.On the southern edge, a series of constructed wetlands provide living green space that remains accessible to the public through a path leading to the collection pond at the base.

Located in the heart of the city, the proposed Cincinnati Fire Station No. 14 & Training Academy will provide firefighters and firefighters in training with a facility in which they can live, learn, serve and protect. In lieu of a separated campus, the various functions are combined into one cohesive structure. The unique placement of the three main elements that make up this building is conducive to a non-intrusive work environment.
Firefighters are given a private wing in which they are welcome to relax in entertainment rooms or even in a private roof-top garden which features a reflection pond. Trainees are in close proximity to the inner workings of a fire station as they train in the indoor classroom the training tower and the outdoor training yard. With a modern approach, this building reflects the use of green building materials, LEED and non-traditional fire station design.
