04 · Built Work
A short list, chosen for what each one taught rather than for how it photographs. Roles are stated precisely: large buildings are made by large teams.
01
Healthcare · Cancer hospital
Irvine, California
A cancer hospital is not a building people visit once. They come back dozens of times, often frightened, and the sequence from parking space to treatment chair does more work than anything that photographs well.
Role: Senior Project Designer · HOK
02
Science & Technology · Physics research
Pasadena, California
Instruments measuring at quantum precision impose tolerances no ordinary building meets, and those tolerances organise this one: experimental laboratories below grade where the ground is quiet, theorists and shared rooms in the four levels above. A building arranged around what its equipment cannot tolerate.
Role: Senior Project Designer · HOK
03
Aviation · Concourse expansion
Phoenix, Arizona
A new concourse added to a terminal that never closes. Every move had to be made around an operation that could not pause. The condition most expansion work is actually designed under, and almost never credited for.
Role: Senior Project Designer · HOK
04
Workplace · Corporate headquarters
San Diego, California
An office tower and parking structure for a genomics company, where the workplace has to hold its own beside the science it exists to serve.
Role: Senior Project Designer · HOK
05
Urban Design · District master plan
Los Angeles, California
Planning at district scale, where the deliverable is a framework other architects will build inside rather than a building. The question that matters is what the plan makes inevitable and what it leaves genuinely open.
