THE CAVE + THE HUT

mount lemmon tucson, arizona

301 fall studio, 2020

Nestled on the edge of Mount Lemmon, The Cave + The Hut youth camp embodies the intriguing fusion of two archetypes— the cave and the hut. This innovative project seeks to explore the connection between these two forms, unveiling a unique meeting place. Situated within a hill, the projects form gracefully ascends towards the sky, seamlessly blending with its natural surroundings. The “cave” element of the design provides a tranquil space for rest and bathing, nestled harmoniously into the earth. A central stair and glass elevator core extends down into the cave, inviting traces of ethereal light to permeate the space, while also serving as a conduit for movement. As campers ascend from the cave, they are welcomed into the luminous “hut,” an elegant steel-framed structure adorned with a perforated exterior. This transition bathes the visitors in an abundance of light, revealing that it is light itself that bridges the gap between the cave and the hut.

A place of darkness. A place of abundant light. A place of refuge. A place of play.

Rillito Pavilion

tucson, arizona

201 studio fall 2019

Positioned along the scenic Rillito River path, the Rillito Pavilion is a testament to the delicate balance between desert elements—sun, shade, and water. Designed as an intimate space for pedestrians and cyclists to find refuge from the hot desert sun, it provides shade through tilted planes elegantly placed around exisiting plantlife.

With a design philosophy rooted in sustainability, the pavilions elevated structure promotes the flow of water beneath its foundation, nurturing the growth of resilient desert flora and fauna. Crafted with a harmonious blend of wood through a delicate lattice framework, the pavilion allows gentle rays of sunlight to filter through, creating a tranquil ambiance while ensuring natural ventilation throughout the space.

As the sun moves, the shadows cast shift creating new patterns and encouraging differnt organizations of people in the space. The form, derived from an interest in dwelling, the typology is a broken a frame house. Each half is rotated to create pockets of shaded space and fold around existing mesquite trees.

A place for rest. A place for community. A place for connection.

I am a desert native, raised at the edge of the Tanque Verde Creek in Tucson, Arizona. My childhood love of the outdoors, building forts + exploring the sonoran desert valley, has only continued to grow. From a young age I have passionately sought after art through mediums of painting, drawing, music, writing, photography and cooking. Deep curiousity for how things are made led me to pursue a career in architecture where I continue to design “forts”, explore landscapes + ecologies and seek after art. My goal is to design with thoughtful reverence for place through deep study of culture, ecologies and commitment to itterative exploration. With a background in art, my process is rooted in analogue making as a form of discovery. It is with enthusiam that I have completed the first phase of my education at the University of Arizona and now look forward to continue learning through professional practice.
