She has been working in the profession continuously since her first year of college as a summer intern. She pursued her Bachelor of Science and Master of Architecture degrees at University of Michigan, from which she received numerous scholarships to attend and graduated with honors. Upon graduation in 2006, she began her career in Los Angeles at Rossetti s Los Angeles office and then Clive Wilkinson Architects, who is internationally renowned for designing creative communities. Recognizing that she could make more of a difference in Detroit than LA, Laurie returned to her home state of Michigan at the end of She continued to work remotely for Clive Wilkinson Architects while also consulting for local firms and pursuing independent projects. She also served as LEED coordinator for the goal LEED Silver Santa Monica College Academy of Arts and Technolgy/KCRW Radio Station project with Clive Wilkinson. Laurie joined McIntosh Poris Associates in 2012 and is now an Associate there. Laurie returned to Michigan to contribute her talents to building Michigan better, and Detroit in particular. Her design work on many projects since her return to Michigan in 2009 speaks to her ultimate goal. Examples include her creative workplace design on Quicken Loans Qube in 2011 with Rossetti, which brought thousands of new workers to the city of Detroit and spurred the subsequent revitalization of the Campus Martius area and her design for Townhouse Restaurant that created a destination in an empty urban plaza and extended the excitement of Campus Martius toward the river. Laurie is driven to creating meaningful designs that have an impact. At McIntosh Poris, Laurie not only leads progressive commercial, hospitality, creative office, and multifamily residential projects; Laurie also leads projects that are socially important. Laurie has been leading the Downtown Synagogue renovation project through several years of community engagement in the early visioning, programming, and schematic phases. Laurie also led the Michigan Research Studio project, a tenant improvement for the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning s ArcPrep program. The program teaches Detroit high school students architecture courses with the goal of reaching urban minority youth who are underrepresented in the field of architecture and urban planning. Laurie is on the Board of Directors for CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women) Detroit. Through CREW, Laurie is an advocate of advancing the success of women in commercial real estate, a field that women are not well represented in. Laurie has been a CREW member for 5 years. Prior to serving on the board, she was chair and co-chair of the highly successful Impact Awards event which honors commercial property developments that have had a significant impact in the southern Michigan region. Laurie s CREW involvement allows her to champion the profession by reaching out to other professionals in the commercial real estate industry. Rather than staying siloed within the profession, Laurie uses her position and exposure with CREW to embody the role of the architect in the community and help others understand the value of architects. Through CREW, Laurie is currently mentoring a young woman at Wayne State University who is interested in a career in commercial real estate. She has also contributed her talents to CREW Careers, a workshop that exposes female Detroit high school students to commercial real estate fields. Laurie has also been active with Hospice of Michigan and has been co-chair of the organization s annual Crystal Rose Gala fundraiser event in years past.

2 Completed July DETROIT HOME AWARD 2016 AIA MICHIGAN HONOR AWARD 300 seat restaurant 3,660 SF interior renovation 1,800 SF addtion 2,000 SF kitchen equip./storage Outdoor dining TOWNHOUSE Townhouse Restaurant is a tenant improvement and addition to the 43-story One Detroit Center highrise on Woodward and Congress in Downtown Detroit. The interior features a U-shaped bar, dining area, and a whiskey lounge. The centerpiece is the new greenhouse-like all-season dining area. Instead of seasonal outdoor seating as the owner first proposed, we designed an 1,800 sf permanent steel and glass structure surrounded by verdant planters that can seat patrons year round but completely open up the walls and roof when the weather allows. Truly blurring indoor and out, indoor-style furnishings and lush greenery fill the space. The interior merges with the cityscape, giving guests the feeling of dining outdoors in the city year-round. While sensitive to the original Philip Johnson / John Burgee design, we wanted to transform the fortless-like base that once housed a bank into a welcoming, pedestrian-oriented facade that exuded the activity within. We opened up the building to the street by turning the once high windows into French doors around the perimeter, and a large canopy with glazed entry was inserted into the corner of the high rise. The once empty and lifeless urban plaza has been transformed into a destination and has served to draw the energy of Campus Martius south toward the Detroit River. I was the lead designer and project architect for this project.

3 Completed September AIA DETROIT HONOR AWARD 2016 DETROIT HOME AWARD 3,750 sf tenant improvement BFS Certification 24 high school students (36 future) 4 faculty critique areas with pin-up space lecture area with projection screen kitchenette and restrooms MICHIGAN RESEARCH STUDIO The Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan engaged McIntosh Poris Associates to design their tenant improvement in the ground floor tenant space of the MPA-designed Woodward Garden Apartment building. Here, Detroit high school students are taught architecture courses by Taubman College fellows. The space is also used by the fellows for research and other activities. As an educational space, the project was under the oversight of the Bureau of Fire Services, which presented code challenges for fire separation from other occupancies in the building. The interior is minimal with a bold paint strategy. The exposed ceiling is painted out blue, wrapping down the walls to help bring down the scale of the 20 high ceiling. Exposed steel columns, now spray fireproofed, are painted out white. Simple painted homasote pin-up panels line the walls. A new vestibule and a restroom volume with mechanical units concealed above round out the space. Yellow paint peeks out from within this volume to complete the maize and blue theme. As a Michigan alum, I was excited to lead this project as designer and project architect.

4 Under Construction - completion June story apartments over 1 story covered parking 185 market rate apartment units mix of studio, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom units 500 to 1,100 sf per unit green roof terraces atop parking decks community center, fitness center, and pool DUCHARME PLACE APARTMENTS DuCharme Place lies in the shadow of one of Detroit s most venerated examples of modern architecture and urban planning - Mies Van der Rohe s Lafayette Park. The contemporary and energy efficient design of these 3 mid-rise buildings will use an exterior insulated rainscreen system, insulated glazing, and live roof. Design of this high-density development includes unique and careful consideration of outdoor space similar to the park space created between Mies townhomes. This new development stands out from the demanding Detroit apartment market by offering a private park plaza with pool, private parking, easy access to the Dequindre Cut all in less than a mile from Campus Martius. Financed under the HUD 221 (d)(4) program, the project is also utilizing Brownfield Tax Credits, CRP Loan/Grants and City Tax Abatements. McIntosh Poris Associates is working closely with the owners to coordinate work to meet milestones related to this financial matrix. I was project architect during the design phases, responsible for design, code compliance, and documentation.

5 PROJECT TYPE WIth McIntosh Poris Associates building assessment, programming, schematic design to present 12,000 sf existing building renovation 4 stories with basement Social gathering Worshipping Administrative offices Meeting Space Event space Learning/Library Kitchen ISAAC AGREE DOWNTOWN SYNAGOGUE The last remaining synagogue in the city of Detroit, the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue is a progressive and diverse congregation whose aging facility is in great need of repair as well as redesign for the bright future the congregation envisions. The synagogue is growing, and over the course of several years, McIntosh Poris has guided the congregation through the early design phases including a building assessment, programming and visioning through community engagement and workshops, and finally schematic design including a townhall presentation. Through this process, we created a schematic design for a renovation that is inclusive of the congregants needs and beliefs. The new design honors the multicolored windows that are so important to their identity while updating the building for the next generation. They are currently seeking funding for the project using the design work we completed. I have been leading this project and am the ongoing project architect.

They engaged McIntosh Poris Associates to design a new, cost effective tenant improvement in Bloomfield Hills. My role on this project was designer and project architect. Aiming to express their culture and provoke workplace collaboration, the space plan creates open office areas and natural light access, with utility functions tucked against the building core. The large Club House is the hub of the office: kitchen, breakout space, informal gathering, and place for serendipitous encounters. The Crypton Super Fabric and its fibers inspire the space s colors and form.

7 Completed December ,800 sf existing building renovation 2,200 sf mechanical addition up to 250 seats new rooftop dining terrace covered outdoor dining new green roof garden atop exterior freezer wood fired meat pit lower level bar and beer garden kitchen and separate prep kitchen new elevator, stairs, restrooms phase 2: glass and steel roof dining enclosure FENTON, MICHIGAN FENTON FIRE HALL Collaborating with Union Joints, a family of restaurants that also includes Vinsetta Garage and the Clarkston Union, McIntosh Poris Associates designed a renovation and addition to a historic Fire Hall in Fenton, Michigan to give it new life as a restaurant. In the client s words, Fenton Fire Hall is a joint that respects both the flame and the ability to douse it. Built in 1938, the existing 2-story building was sensitively reconfigured to house a main dining room in the original truck bays, an open-flame meat pit with bar seating, open kitchen, prep kitchen, beer garden with a 60-keg windowed beer cooler, and outdoor dining patios. Contrasting yet complementing the existing building, a new 3-story tower addition echoes the existing hose tower in a modern, fiber cement panel clad form. The addition houses mechanical space and restrooms plus stairs and an elevator for easy access to the existing levels and a newly occupiable roof level. Built over the existing roof, the new roof level features a bar and patio seating and is designed for future enclosure with large glass vertical bifold doors and an operable skylight to completely open up to the outdoors. Additional work includes a new roof addition for a kitchen staff stair and a ground floor walk-in freezer covered by a green roof. I led the project as designer and project architect, taking this project from preliminary design through construction administration.

I was brought on the team as a workplace design specialist to lead the design effort as designer and project coordinator. Following a period of workplace research, McIntosh Poris Associates developed a scheme designed to foster independent work as well as provide spaces for creative collaboration. The lobby level was designed as the social hub of the workplace. A large bleacher staircase was designed to link the first two floors of the office, creating a wonderful space for both large and small gatherings. Designed objects termed break-up spaces were deployed throughout the floor plan, both defining focused work zones and providing an outlet for impromptu meetings and creative encounters. MPA completed preliminary design, programming, and schematic design for this project.

9 Under Construction - completion fall ,376 SF existing building renovation 15,505 SF new addition - added story 61 residential loft apartments light industrial commerical office restaurant commercial lobby/event space parking garage CORKTOWN LOFTS This adaptive reuse project for Bedrock in the Corktown Shores neighborhood of Detroit is transforming a dry goods wholesale warehouse built in 1913 into a mixed-use destination, including light industrial, commercial office, restaurant, and residential loft tenants. An additonal story of 15,505 sf of residential units with outdoor terraces is being added to the 150,000 sf building. The additon is clad in metal panels and is set back a structural bay for historic requirements. The addition is not even seen behind the high parapets from many angles. Large expanses of factory windows had been blocked in on all sides of the building. Historically accurate new windows are being installed to admit maxium light to the deep floorplate. The three loading bays on the front of the building are receiving new welcome canopies and are becoming a multipurpose lobby/event space while still providing loading access. The existing building is 70 tall and 5 stories with basement. The addition will turn the building into a high rise of 80 tall and 6 stories. The building is also applying for national historic designation. I am the project architect for this project which is currently under construction.

10 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN COOLHOUSE PROJECT TYPE As a shared workspace and event space for technology start-up companies, Coolhouse aims to spur the creation of a technology hub in Ann Arbor. Located in the Main Street Downtown Historic District, the three adjacent existing buildings will have a total of 25,010 sf over three stories with terraced roof access. Coolhouse workspace will be comprised of reserved, shared, and membership based workstations for multiple start-up tech companies. An existing garage at the back of the space is being converted to a flexible event space for community events such as tech talks. The main entry at the center building will feature a coffee bar/workspace. Throughout the three buildings, the idiosyncracies of the existing structures, each from a different era, were used to create distinct neighborhoods and nodes. Connections between the buildings were made carefully to assue flow between the areas. The existing green roof on one of the buildings is being converted for assembly occupancy, and the other two roofs at different elevations will be connected through a series of terraces and stairs. All this interior and rooftop fun occurs behind a relatively unchanged facade due to historic district restrictions. I was the project architect and lead designer for Coolhouse.

11 For CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women) Completed May 2015 multi-tenant urban shopping plaza community amenities CREW CAREERS LIFESTYLE DETROIT CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women) Detroit hosts an annual program that partners with Detroit Public Schools to expose urban female high school students to the commercial real estate industries. As part of the day long workshop, teams of students create development concepts for a neighborhood urban shopping plaza in Detroit. They are asked to think about businesses and amenities that would benefit their communities. They then present their projects to a panel for critique. After studying some existing shopping plazas in the city, I created a prototypical contemporary design that the students could use as a base for layering their own programs and designs. The inventive projects the students created using my design as a framework was truly inspiring.
