Prairie Style
Monterey, California
public library
As a homage to one of the most prolific American architects of the late 19th - early 20th century,
this design exhibits all the characteristics of Frank Lloyd Wrights prairie school : Long, horizontal
lines, windows grouped in horizontal bands, and hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves. A floor
plan that is designed to integrate with nature is accomplished by extending the spaces out
to be as much surrounded by nature as possible.

Super 8 Motel
1343 S Center Rd
Flint Township, MI 45089
In the wake of new ownership of a Super 8 Motel, I am commissioned to redesign the existing lobby in the fashion
suited to the new owners. In first meeting the client, I asked what was the program needed in the redesign of the
proposal. A larger cafe, private managerial office, and improved visibility and circulation within the lobby in
in terms of both the customer and the clerk. After considering the program, aesthetics was discussed as a
major factor in the renovation. The client requested the use of various materials to create a setting of higher
standards for the business.
