Lexington, KY
Site
Hilltop Equestrian Farm is a small, family-owned farm in the Lexington, KY countryside on the site of a former tobacco farm. Development is concentrated primarily onto a single hilltop to conserve valuable farmland. Traditional forms and clean lines create a simple and utilitarian but formal space, as is needed for daily operations and equestrian events. Also on site are a horse graveyard to the south and a collection of cabins for longterm visitors to the east.

The Highland Park Depot is part of a joint project which aims to provide for the growing transportation needs of Chattanooga, TN through the introduction of light rail while respecting existing culture and infrastructure. The proposal will re-purpose existing unused rail lines, revitalize urban neighborhoods, and increase connectivity. The line extends from the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, through the historic Highland Park Neighborhood an urban greenfield, and on to Enterprise South Industrial Park, which houses Volkswagen and Amazon facilities.

Sunset Gardens is an infill community within the Normaltown Historic District of Athens, GA. Residences share the architectural style and color pallette of the district but are updated for modern living.

The 4th State is the state of change, and it combines luxury and fitness in an all-new way to create an all-new you. Visitors fly in, bringing with them only the trainer they have chosen from our excellent staff and a three-week supply of clothing and groceries as specified by the trainer. Once you arrive in sunny Pinas Bay, Panama you will be taught how to cook, eat, exercise and live in a completely new manner. Bad habits will be amended, pounds will be erased, and you will finally be free to find yourself without distraction.

DECK
Harpy House is the primary structure and only residence of 4th State. Its layout is at once clean, simple, and luxurious; embodying the ethos of the resort. The roof design is inspired by the house’s namesake, the harpy eagle, and serves as a catchment area for the water supply. The wall of windows affords excellent views of the bay and bathes the building in natural light.

Mendenhall Spa & Resort located in Juneau, Alaska is anything but a typical resort. The clubhouse area recreates the Alaskan wilderness with oversized boulders, native evergreens, and a stream network. The pool and lounging areas are surfaced in dark stone and set below grade to maximize heat retention and to keep sunbathers shielded from the occasionally high winds.
