JHALAN TAYLOR
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
About Me
My name is Jhalan Taylor, an aspiring architect from the city of Freeport, Grand Bahama, The Bahamas. I have always enjoyed the art of drawing, sketching, watercolor painting, and drafting. It was early on in life when I decided I was headed on a path towards a career in architecture. The idea of constructing lines in a way that leads to forms that can impact people in a positive way for years and years to come, and also prove beneficial to the environment is what fuels my passion for architecture. Architecture for me is a way I can serve others through my God-given talents. I have always enjoyed technical drawing and graphical communications, and now, my love for architecture, specifically detailing and modeling, has only grown deeper.

Home Study
Nassau, The Bahamas This home study project was done on the premise of creating a space where the Bahamian youth can go and use their time wisely after school, or any time in general, and provides places for those without homes to live. On its first floor, this building houses a restaurant, a gallery, and a library.

Second Floor This floor is where the worship and education aspect of the design occurs. There are classrooms located to the west and a wooden chapel and fellowship hall located to the east; all having access to the courtyard via balconies and stairs.
Third Floor This floor is where all of the living and community units are located. There are 9 dwelling units, all having access to the community outdoor kitchen and the aerobics/fitness room. Again, all has access to the courtyard via balconies and stairs.

Morton Barn Craft Studio Project
As a part of a craft studio, a barn-style museum was to be drafted up to house the historical Morton History Museum. The idea behind this design was to showcase the historical pieces in a walking-showcase style at the front and a banquet hall to house museum events at the rear.
