FORTIN HOUSE
Location: Carantec, France
Category: Private Seaside Residence
Architects: Studio Odile Decq
Year: 2020
This almost invisible home rests upon a rocky outcropping above the beaches of Brittany where a fort was built in the early twentieth-century. An unfolding glass facade provides a 180 degree view of the ocean, integrating your living with the surrounding landscape. Schist slabs extend past the exterior walls to shade the interior space, while a central patio brings in light and protects from sea winds.
“A long red sofa extended by a desk wraps around the patio and offers multiple seating possibilities to enjoy the permanent spectacle of the sea.”
-ArchDaily
ENCLOSURE
The Fortin House enclosed space takes an abstract shape that highlights its central patio space, open to the sea air.
STRUCTURE
The retaining wall at the rear of the house plays a large structural role, as the rest of the residence is composed of a glass facade.
POROSITY
The rear wall of the home is the only solid perimeter. Entrances are fully permeable where glass is a semipermeable facade.
SPECIFICITY
The simplified vision for this structure is two surfaces joined by a central column of glass: the roof, floor, and central patio.
TOPOGRAPHY
The site is a drastic incline jutting out into the sea. Fortin House nestles into the hillside, reaching toward the horizon.

SAINT-ANGE RESIDENCE
Location: Seyssins, France
Category: Private Residence
Architects: Studio Odile Decq
Year: 2015
The bespoke home is nestled into a steep hillside with stunning valley views. A studio space lengthens out from the base of the structure, while living spaces occupy a twisting tower that rises above. Due to the slope the garden entrance lies to the side of the home, leading to an overlook of the studio and a central spiral staircase that acts almost like the spine of the residence, a core of connection between the various levels.
“This is a monolithic architecture, a silent piece of art, made entirely from wood. During the daytime, multiple openings on the facade allow the light to pour in from 3 different directions. At night, the wood blinds treated with the exact same finish as the facade, hide the windows and allow the monolith to become all black and quiet once again.”

LES TOURS DANSANTES
Location: Paris, France
Category: Student Housing, Mixed-Use
Architectural Structure Workshop
Prof. Pierre Engel
The Dancing Towers twist into the sky above the Hotel Industrial Berlier, rotating around themselves to stretch over the passing traffic below. The tiered building serves as private student apartments, library and study space, floating greenspace, and a rooftop restaurant and bar. Highlighted throughout the levels is a yellow steel structure that runs along the curving layers, supporting the rotated platforms in a cross-bracing pattern. Mirrored steel cores offer rigidity and support, continuing from the base of the addition to the cantilevered greenspace above, a focal point stabilized by the dual structures working in tandem.

MASSACHUSETTS ST. APARTMENTS
Location: Lawrence, Kansas
Category: Apartments, Multi-Purpose
Architecture Studio 608
Prof. Steve Padget
The form of these multi-purpose apartments was derived from the famous Massachusetts Street sidewalk surrounding the site, where diagonal parking creates a sawtooth boundary between vehicle and pedestrian space.
Continuing the implied lines of the sawtooth pattern generates a uniform grid over the empty lot. This grid is the foundation of the building concept. All aspects of structure, interior walls, glass block, and floral pattern of metal screening occur within the bounds of the diamond pattern.

I became interested in this project not only as a work of architecture, but as a sculptural piece. The towering brick walls are accompanied by angled, brick dividers and planters, bringing the structure to a human scale and encouraging interaction. These patterned structures could be business kiosks, impromptu seating, playgrounds, and serve whatever creative uses the residents or public see them fit for.
I primarily work with oil paints, having the opportunity to do a series of still lifes during my studies at university with Professor and Artist, Norman Akers. I enjoy working with bright colors, and have been developing my work as an exploration of color relationships between neons and neutrals. I’ve found that completing a painting with one brush size creates a cohesive story of shape throughout the piece.
Taking a Freehand
Drawing class with Professor and Artist, John Gaunt, changed the trajectory of my work significantly.
I learned the importance of speed when capturing form and gesture. Drawing from live models was as challenging as it was educational.
John Gaunt also imparted upon me not just the knowledge of new technique, but new tool.
Learning to use each tool in your arsenal properly and recognizing its particular advantages makes for better art. Charcoal is one of the simplest drawing mediums, and yet I’d never recognized its potential until this class.
