Utilizing a 40% occupied strip mall, this proposal aimed to address issues of segregation and privatization in retirement homes. The retirement phenomenon often separates our aging population by reducing opportunities for interactions with others outside of their age group.
Repetitive Frames
Located in the southeast corner of Woods Park in Lincoln, Nebraska, this public bathhouse is experienced as a procession through hot, then warm then cold pools.

Invasive Architecture
This bee research facility is meant to start a conversation about how we expand cities, invade territories and how people's invasion of space can be just as consequential as an invasive species. This project is meant to set the visitor in the territory of the bees, experiencing a bee's world territory as a bee would at a smaller scale.
