BB&T RENOVATION
This studio project was located in Asheville, NC where we were challenged to renovate the existing BB&T office building into a mixed-use hotel, vacation rental and condominium tower. My design seeks to break up the monolithic facade of the 1964 building by referencing the depth, texture and materiality of historical downtown Asheville.

BIKE FRAME
Bike frames are typically made from tubular pieces that are welded together through a rigorous process of measuring, jigging and welding individual tubes into the desired geometry. For my project, I wanted to challenge this by using an I-beam structural system where the entire profile of the bike frame could be cut out in one piece, eliminating the geometrical jigging and measuring during fabrication. I mirrored that piece and added a center webbing to provide stiffness and stability. I cut the frame using a CNC router from a single sheet of 1/8 inch aluminum and then welded it together.

HAIKU HOUSE
The first project of my second year of graduate school was a small, 1000sf house design for the Clemson, SC area. We started by writing a Haiku poem about our notion of “home,” and then derived our design based on that. We were asked to prioritize a select list of criteria to incorporate into the houses. My house is a modern take on a traditional “Dogtrot” house that takes advantage of passive heating and cooling strategies as well as precast pod construction.

PRECAST TESSELLATION
FALL 2013 / STUDIO / CLEMSON
This studio project focused on exploring the possibilities of precast concrete. We began by studying different tessellations and the process of forming and casting the pieces. We developed the tessellations into a ‘kit of parts’ that could be cast repeatedly to create a structure or system. My project began as a single tessellating brick that developed into a kinetic precast structure held together by a tension structural system.
