 Rails to TrailsWasson Way project. Converted an abandoned rail yard into a community center for greater Cincinnati neighborhoods. Features: Skatepark, indoor basketball court, multipurpose rooms, media lab, and a separate bike/skate rental shop. |  Overall Site RenderingView traveling north on Montgomery Rd |  SketchUp BrainstormingI like to use SkethUp as a brainstorming tool since I can produce fast mock ups as well as detailed renders in a short amount of time. |

 Overall Site PlanShows the connection between the proposed center and the bike/skate rental shop. Additional proposal included the renewal of an adjacent restaurant and parking lot. |  Final ModelUtilized the laser cutter to produce the final model. (Chipboard and bristol for model, CNC particle board for topography) |  Plaza RenderingPerspective from the parking lot entry. Shows open direct access to bike/rental shop, the proposed pavilion design for the existing restaurant, and the community center in the background with easy access to the trail that traverses in front. |
 Existing Loading DocksProposed to keep the docks used for loading/unloading equipment off trains as part of a new skatepark for the community. |  Vision SketchUsed the photo taken of the loading docks to produce a quick prisma marker sketch to make the park come alive. |  East SectionShows the skatepark and the connection to the original building which is the central part of the new structure. |
 West SectionDiagrams the natural light as the roof collects energy using solar panels for water heating or other electrical needs. Also shows the upper outdoor terrace and overhang for the bike trail that passes to the south of the building. |  Final ModelAnother image towards what would be the northeast view of the community center. |
