Creating a master plan, visitor center, tea house and temporary pavilion for the Burton J. and Orpha Westcott house through the exploration of light and shadow, weaving, experience, and program.

This project is the result of working closely with professor John Reynolds of Miami University and primary client Marta Wojick (excutive director of the Westcott House) to develop a solid and complementary alternative site adjacent to one of Frank Lloyd Write’s historic homes. The first half of this project was focused on the development of the site adjacent to the Westcott as a result of various personal studies done of the Westcott property. The second portion of the project focused on creating a visitor center, tea house, and temporary pavilion that would be present in the absence of a solar decathlon structure. Designs were presented to Millenium Park Landscape Architect, Carol Yetkin, the Westcott House board of directors, community members, students, and local Architects.
