Ms. Hoeksema worked as a junior designer for KMW Architects on the Kauffman Foundation. Her areas of focus were the Muriel McBrien office suites and grand stairway, as well as the exterior pergola walkway and main front entry. Design issues ranged from the aesthetic of proportions of building elements to natural light influx through clerestory and floor level windows.

Ms. Hoeksema's design work for this project was exhibited at the Kauffman Foundation during the design and development process; much appreciated and well received by the client. Photography courtesy of Robert Benson Photography. For more visuals of the project visit:
