Portal Theater

Texas Tech University

Austin, Texas | Academic | Individual Instructor Chris Taylor | Spring 2022

The Portal Theater encompasses a primary multi-storage theater and a secondary live club, connected visually through a series of circular apertures. These portals, located at a multitude of different heights, provide glimpses of the surrounding urban landscape and blur the boundaries between the interior of the building and the city outside. The design of the Portal Theater not only enhances the viewing experience but also reinforces the connection to the surrounding context.

Mixed-use & Adaptive Reuse

Texas Tech University

Lubbock, TX | Academic | Individual Instructor Jimmy Johnson | Fall 2023

In downtown Lubbock, TX, at the intersection of 13th St. and Avenue J, a mixed-use project is transforming a former shopping mall into a 32-unit apartment complex. The design includes 16 studios, 8 one-bedroom apartments, and 8 two-bedroom lofts across six floors.

The layout prioritizes spatial organization, with the basement for storage, ground and mezzanine floors for future commercial spaces, and a central staircase connecting public and private areas. The third floor hosts short-term rentals, while the fourth floor has one-bedroom units, and the top floors feature two-bedroom lofts.

Noteworthy features include a rooftop garden, a gym exclusive to residents, and a public café with city views. This project emphasizes greenery for sustainability and wellness, blending seamlessly into downtown Lubbock.

Lubbock Lake Landmark Soil Observatory

Texas Tech University

Lubbock, TX | Academic | Individual Instructor Victoria McReynold | Fall 2022

This studio actively works to synthesize contexts, conditions, systems, and materials within the Llano Estacado region. The project provides a space for research, education, and entertainment, featuring Western research labs, a Southern Museum, and a Northern tram station connecting to the north end of Blackwater Draw in Clovis, TX. A walking trail and observatory guide visitors through the space and allow them to experience a series of existing archeological dig sites and continuous soil stratum. This project actively brings together a diverse range of experiences and insights within one cohesive and meticulously-designed environment.

QGIS Data Maps indicates interaction between soil types, natural elements, and human activities.

Peak-A-BOO

Texas Tech University

Bethel, New York | Academic | Team

Instructor Neal Lucas Hitch | Summer 2022

Peeking out from among the trees on the historic grounds of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair, Peak-A-Boo takes shape as a continuous series of wood-laminate arches and ated between the Texas Tech Student teams and i/thee. I lead the grasshopper team engaging in the prototype design and active bending analysis for different form iterations. I also participated in the construction and installation process.
