"Ski On Home" is a single-family home built for a young family of four avid skiers and snowboarders (mom and dad are also both world-class skydivers). It is located on the main ski run in Squaw Valley, CA and nestled into the mountain, naturally protected by the earth from avalanches and other extreme weather. The year-round residence has ski-in / ski-out access on all levels and sleeps up to 17 guests at a time (extended family and a constellation of friends).

A design initiative led by Architecture for Humanity and sponsored by Nike and Woolworth’s, sought to build the Siyathemba Youth Sports Facility and HIV/AIDS Outreach Center on a modest budget out of local materials and with the direct involvement of community members. The design is based on a modular concrete panel, which utilized a specialized concrete formwork system that incorporated the void of footballs into the thermal mass of the construction, while maintaining structural strength and utilizing less material. Object of Play is part of Strawn.Sierralta's commitment to work on pro bono projects that can affect change in Developing Communities worldwide.

It is a reaction to the urban parking lot and the void it creates in public space. The design utilized a mass-produced component of the automobile industry to camouflage a secret art garden behind the reflection of its surroundings. This project was produced for the Calgary 2006 ArtCity Festival that addressed the idea of “Truth & Lies”. Sometimes we are not defined by what is there, but by what is not there. The horizontal nature of the urban parking lot is refracted in the reclaimed side-view mirrors that form the structure for a vertical sculpture garden. Open to the sky, the sinuous garden provides an ascending background for sculpture, while the lines of the parking lot are mixed with the image of the clouds above.

It was featured in, and on the cover of the Chicago Architectural Club’s "Journal #11: 5 Concepts: Envisioning the Bloomingdale" and was exhibited at the Acme Artworks Gallery in Chicago along with other twenty-five speculative works. "Artline Chicago" is a linear, multi media park that uses the resources of the museums and cultural institutions downtown to bring art into the neighborhoods that parallel the Bloomingdale Line. The disused, elevated train line stretches from Lawndale Ave. on the west to the Chicago River on the east, passing four neighborhoods and crossing 37 streets along its length. The project proposes removing existing heavy infrastructure and replacing it with new lightweight bridges. The intervention would allow for seamless traffic flow underneath and above. Each bridge would act as a platform for art and would allow for direct access to the line and new space for neighborhood programming. Though the bridges occupy only 10% of the total area of the line, replacing them would change the overall experience.

It was selected to be featured in the Chicago Prize 2005 Exhibit at the Chicago Cultural Center. Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is phenomenon in which worker bees from a honeybee colony suddenly disappear. Today, honeybee populations across North America and Western Europe have dropped dramatically. "City Hive"proposes that the historic Chicago water tanks be re-utilized as beehives, forming an interconnected aerial network that would span the city. The world-famous Chicago green roofs will be invisibly connected to city parks, private gardens and backyards all over the region. Newly introduced honeybee populations will allow all these green spaces to share their genetic information, while simultaneously growing a healthier ecosystem and producing honey flavored by the city's neighborhoods. Chicago can help bring the honeybee back to the region. "City Hive" is a proposal for Chicago's latent water tanks.

It is a proposal for a zero-energy, single-family residence, designed with Cradle to Cradle principles, which are rooted in the idea that materials should exist in a waste-free, holistic lifecycle. Physically connected, recycled and recyclable materials were specified throughout. A greenhouse placed at the center of the home, doubles as a thermal chimney. This new “hearth” for the home ensures that fresh air can be pulled through all spaces of the house and provides year-round growing space for fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. The kitchen flows directly onto a terraced garden that provides space for seasonal outdoor gardening. A rooftop photovoltaic array and horizontally positioned wind turbines produce 30% more energy than the home uses, allowing the excess energy to power an electric vehicle, or to be sold back to the grid.

The mass of the buildings is aligned with predominate wind patterns to create a Valley Effect that maximizes the efficiency of the site's wind turbines. The East, West and South faces of all the buildings are lined with a sun shading system comprised of over 4,880 solar panels and fiber optic light collectors.
