Hellenseview Bike Center
Hellensview High School Community Bike Center
The students of the Pacific Northwest College of Art and the Oregon College of Art Masters of Fine Arts program in Applied Craft + Design designed and built an enriching bicycle repair center for Hellensview High School in Portland, Oregon.
We used the functional purpose of the shop as creative inspiration for its aesthetic.
We designed an environment that was exciting and immersive, focusing on creative placemaking, through the use of ambiance and material.
The center’s art and furniture are made with the very bike parts and materials that will be used there.
My contributions included designing and building the center’s furniture, such as the mobile tool cart seen here
Design and Fabrication by the PNCA and OCAC MFA in AC+D Program Class of 2015
