i believe architecture is the physical representation of our deepest emotions. every project is an emotional journey that requires my complete investment. i find a level of deep content, joy, frustration, confusion or love and let that aid me in my development of each project. this mapping of those emotions overlays each project and allows one to see the wide spectrum of feelings that i have experienced during my undergraduate. i always strive to push myself in every project and as i move forward in my architectural career i am interested in utilizing the skills i have learned to fully devote myself to this profession.
spatial exploration
the modern teapot the spatial exploration of the modern teapot and its three main parts, the spout, the pot and the handle was reinterpreted when designing the moments of pause for the door, window, stair project. we began the project by drawing section perspectives and from those moments we developed a model that explored different materials and tectonic connections.

section through the model with an overlay of the section studies
the topography, door, window and stair were all moments of thought through the design process. the door enters off the topo inviting the environment into the building. the window sits atop the entire model and allows natural light to fill the space. lastly the stair is important as transition moments and movement through the other spaces.

the historic arts district of asheville, nc is rich in history dating back to the 1700’s. brushing the french broad river to the west and a highly trafficked railway to the east the river arts district contains some of the most historic buildings in the area along with some of the most artistic people in the state.

the goal was to provide a modern outlet for the artist of the community. the area was designed to accompany the artist, community and tourist. allowing the artist to live and interact with the space while keeping the historic integrity. 9

on site activities:
site plan
keeping some remains of the candle building allows the site to maintain its historic background as well as providing a new outlet for the artist to display their work, an open gallery that the public can access the remains and sit and enjoy the views from them.
11 freedom of artistic expression
multiple physical activities available on site
residential units
community involvement
the materials of the partitions in the housing units are decided by the artists and can be moved and rotated on the grid to allow for variable spaces. anything from chalk board, white board, cork or patterns can be added for their individual expression.
the idea behind the arts district housing was to create a space that the artist could completely customize. allowing each and every artist to create their very own personal space whether it before work, entertainment, family or play.

process: manipulating the landscape by folding planes became an important part of redesigning the street front of main st. by pushing the building back off the street it created an open public place constructed as part of the building

downtown anderson, sc mimics other downtown areas in the historic buildings and grid, however, it lacks green space for the public. the train station become the perfect place for both. this site becomes the first thing travelers see when they enter anderson so if the building and landscape could come together to create an interesting green escape for them as they move through the city then why not combine them?

the cu[bix] bike share program evolves around the idea that Clemson needs an alternative form of transportation that the students can control. with the centralized “bike hub� in down town and various other nodes around campus and the community the students are able to pick up a bike at one location and drop it off at another. The hub would also house local residents/students that used solely bikes as a transportation.

the idea that the building could be fluid and the bikers can essentially ride through it horizontally and vertically was the reason behind creating the lower level storage system . the bike path passes through the front at street level and continues as a ramp on the back accessing the second floor.
the building is adjacent to a busy side street in clemson and the vegetaion screens allow the residences to produce their own privacy and customize their apartment

the screens are designed on a modular track system that allows them to easily be connected the idea that they will eventually take over and the entire building will become a living structure inside and out
street presence from college ave is important propaganda for the bike hub

the journey:
bbq on 123 is designed on the principals of “roadside” architecture. dinners and drive-ins are all over the up state but the most interesting form of roadside “architecture” is the billboard. it dots all local highways and interstates and bookends the site on highway 123.
the idea that the journey through the billboard to the food was the idea of the building. creating a large advertising venue for the community and the restaurant. drawing the visitors in and making the usually unattainable billboard part of the dining experience. 29
happy holidays bbq on 123 possible billboard skin
h u n g r y ? h hu un ng gr ry y? ? the building is customizable by the restaurant and possible community groups and activities. it is designed so the billboard cantilevers over the outdoor dining allowing the dinners to still feel as if they are still inside while being outside.

the Charleston Architecture Center in Charleston (CACC) Studio V worked with client Michael Maher from the Charleston Civic Design Center (CCDC) to design and build a bike storage system that not only would keep bikes safe from external harm but would promote biking in the holy city. Through studying the rich history of the CCDC and Charleston’s urban renewal Studio V decided to combine the old with the new-celebrating the CCDC with three separate parts: the landscape, the super graphic, and the bike boxes.

before
the landscape
The landscaping of the site was important because it provided the foundations for the project and was the first bridge between the past and present. By reconstruction old foundations we were able to subtly depict the historic moments to the public without them realizing it.

before
the super graphic
The decision to design a super graphic for the East facade of the CCDC came from the idea of the “sole survivor�. The history of the site was recorded and systematically placed into the graphic design. It acts as signage for the CCDC as well as a quick history lesson for the public.
1. the tracing of historical images
led us to the information we wanted to portray
2. using chalk lines and rulers we
plotted the information piece by piece

the bike box
the bulk of the design and building aspect of the project rested with the bike box. Taking into consideration Maher’s need for a double locking private storage system that would keep the bike out of the weather Studio V developed a storage system that celebrated the simplicity of the bike.
the site boundaries were limiting and required a vertical system. we studied various angles and created several mock-ups to ensure the design and construction would work

aligning the boxes perpendicular to the street calls out the odd shape of the ccdc.

calhoun street runs east to west on the peninsula and is the main cross road in charelston
the boxes sit on tracks c-channels that create the allusion of floating. the channels keep the boxes ourt of the dirt and are aligned in a way to provide an alley for tourists to stop and experience the boxes even if they are not using the bike boxes.
the boxes are backed with a “history panel� that conveys the history of the peninsula and the site to the visitors
41
final project allows incorporates the historic and the new. by utilizing the colors of charleston and the ccdc we embodied the feeling of the holy city in each portion of the project

sketch studies
2007-2010
sketching and drawing is what originally drew me to architecture. i love the way you can create something so simple and beautiful with your hands and a pen. clockwise: charcoal/pencil, charcoal/pencil, le-pen

architecture graphics: taking hand drawn sketches and using chartpak markers, colored pencils and photoshop create a truly unique drawing that captures the emotional feeling of architecture and space.
