Comfort Space
The goal of this project was to produce a sectional model of a space that evoked comfort within an occupant. This is accomplished through the use of physically soft materials along creating the feeling of being enveloped and enclosed by the draping ceilingform. The final product was reached by producing several series models that involved both space manipulation and material exploration. The end goal of these being the full integration of both concepts.
Icosahabitat
The goal of this project was to design and produce a full scale model of a habitat customized to a the needs of S. Spinulosa, more commonly known as an Assassin bug. A heavy amount of research on the insect was collected and composed into presentations for this. The project started as an idea of several raised spheres off the ground which would house plants and the insects eggs. This eventually morphed into a creation of icosahedrons that would house the youth of the insect as well as attract prey with the illusion of shelter.

George M. Sutton Ferrier and Veterinary Facility
The goal of this project was to create a program focused facility that catered to horses who were in need of shoeing or ill. A majority of this project was focused on developing the program for the facility and its wide variety of needs. The requirements also included some working around site conditions and developing connections to roads based on study of local traffic and terrain study
Deep Ellum Center for Urban Farming Education
The goal of this project was to create a center to welcome citygoers in the Deep Ellum area of Dallas, TX and provide classes and educational experiences to encourage urban farming within the city. The design focuses on the display of growing produce, as well as being more of an intimate space, seperated somewhat from the cityscape by a wall. It houses both soil farming, along with aeroponic growing methods.
