Glass refuge Semester 2 2016-2017
The objective of this project
was to choose a location in
your hometown and design a
glass refuge. I chose to
redesign a bridge on a hiking
path in a local park. This
bridge is designed to canto
leaver over the small
waterfall underneath and
extend out in dock form into
the lake on the opposite side
of the waterfall. The walls
and roof are made of glass
with an opening in the roof
and an opening leading out
to the dock.

Food Truck Project Semester 2 2015-2016
The Purpose of this project was to design a food truck to
represent Alfred State College. This design uses the Alfred
State mascot eating a hot dog as its big design aspect. The
truck also as Alfred State logo on it in several spots along
with the Alfred State initials.

Barn Door Summer Break 2016
This door was designed
for a room to be
completely rustic looking.
The door is made from
pine paneling (tongue
and groove) with an
opening for a painting of
a horse to give it a little
character and to make it
look more realistic
looking. The door slides
across the top on tracks
with a Z shaped bracing
to finish it off.

Temporary home
2016-2017 semester 2
The purpose of this project was too
design a temporary home for someone
who just went through a disaster. This
home was to be designed with
shipping containers. The object was to
use the least number of containers as
possible. This home is three containers
stacked on top of each other and off
set to create somewhat of a covered
parking spot and a covered walkway.

Sketch Book
2016-2017
Semester 1
This project was to create a personal
sketch book by spending no money. I
used chipboard from old cereal box
and corrugated cardboard from
moving boxes. The design was a
flaming football with my initials on the
front, with the back being the end
zone symbolizing you reaching the
end.

Foam Cube
2015-2016

The object of this project
was to carve your initials
into a foam cube without
cutting it into pieces. After
the initials were carved
into the cube you were too
draw the cube as if it was
a building.

Commons Project Semester 1 2016-2017
This project was a
group project and we
were to redesign the
commons area in
Alfred state college.
The redesigns were
adding an upper and
lower court yard
separated by a
retaining wall. The
lower court yard
would be lower than
the upper. There was
to be a pond
supplying small
fountains around the
commons with water.
An aqueduct was
designed to run
along a path and be
the return for the
water creating
somewhat of a
waterfall effect into
the pond.

original form. After the totem pole was
created the objective was to make a
rendering of it.

feet. This home is
feigned with the
upstairs to be rotated
to create two balcony
areas. The home is
designed with Custom
sip panels to keep the
home well insulated
with solar panels,
solar hot water heater
and triple pane
windows.
