background: originally from ikes fork hollow, west virginia, i received a bachelor’s of architecture from auburn university in 2008. in 2007, i was fortunate to study with the studio x in rome, italy and the following year was awarded the southern a&e scholarship for distinguished performance. while at auburn, i was selected to participate in the rural studio for a thesis project and as a second year architecture student in hale county. this work was exhibited at the venice bienalle in 2008 and museum of modern art in new york the following year. i have worked and lived as part of the community in various regions of the country including alabama, texas, utah, new jersey, washington and abroad. all of these experiences as well as working and personal relationships have informed my search for truth, a passionate work of poetic constructions. the following is a selection of individual and collaborative works in both professional and academic settings.

Site Analysis
Site Preparation
Constructing the modules in a factory allows for more consistent quality, saves time and money and also wastes less energy. Site elements such as porches and carports are built after the modules have been placed on the site. A Lake | Flato Porch House project can be produced in the factory in approximately one third the time of our site - built projects. This time saving, along with production line efficiencies, lead to significantly reduced construction costs compared to our site - built projects.

research and development effort in a study of efficiency in building and construction during the recession of 2008-09. Designs use factory built modular construction to create a series of modular rooms of sleeping and living spaces. These rooms are then arranged and configured for each new site to create client’s Porch House designs. This effort resulted in the first Porch House known as Miller Porch
4 House. After joining Lake Flato to help further the endeavor, we produced 19 designs in three years with seven constructed projects. The Porch House designs translates to not only the production of buildings but to the process of designing and building. Building information modeling (BIM) plays a crucial role in those means. Documents are produced in a way to take advantage of the system and condense the production time frame
as well as the building time line. Even though each design is different, the system of parts, details, materials are parametrically intertwined in both module and site constructed projects for an effective and efficient process. This carries over to the construction process to increase the efficiency and produce worthy and simple design projects. Clients can receive a home designed for their land in less than a year that meet their needs and is still site specific.

2 2001 Odyssey is a modular designed Porch House project located along the Blanco River in Wimberly, Texas. It serves as family retreat for the large extended family and future retirement home for the clients. The program consists of a living and kitchen SITE CONSTUCTION - STORY module, a master bed module with outdoor shower, and a guest quarters with two bedroom and two baths. With the river to the east and the en1 trance to the west, the west facades 5 Porch House Process Diagram

This space acts like a spine that moves the occupants North and South while any of the East and West movements being towards and from the river below. The modules extend PHOTOS out over a ravine and into the tree canopy, giving it a tree house experience. The modules are wrapped in a durable corrugated metal where exposed to the weather and wood

when one comes in contact with the material or where the modules face the warmer foliage facades. The construction time line lasted eight months with site work and module construction happening simultaneously. Interiors are minimally finished and act as backdrops to the clients lifestyles and artwork. An outdoor fireplace anchors the space between and serves the heart of the home, the outdoors.

residence in a quiet neighborhood in Houston. The area features rather deep lots and strict zoning and building ordinances. The house was required to be set back from the street, offering an opportunity to formalize the public entry sequence and the landscape. The contrast of private yards and courts focused the spaces towards public and private zones and helped define the architectural focus.
The formal spaces took on the material palette of glass and steel while the private volumes are skinned in a white stucco. These spaces surround a central courtyard and pool for the clients which would function as a modern home to entertain guests, friends, and potential business partners. Landscape is featured heavily in the design in order to focus the spaces and lines of sight. The formal living space looks onto a rain garden and a reflecting

A herb garden for the home sits next to the family outdoor space. To adapt to the local code the light steel boxes are raised to negotiate the flood plane location white board formed concrete walls shield a carport, storage, and direct one towards the entry.

Sweden Ranch is a working ranch
in South Texas for a private client that features multiple projects over the 8000 acre ranch. The masterplan allowed the team to focus on programming the needs for the ranch, adding to the existing infrastructure, and plan for future projects that integrate into the beauty of the land. On the periphery of the ranch features entry barns and gates at cardinal access points. Ranch Housing lies to the East and the 5 Headquarters Site Plan 6 Sweden Ranch Masterplan

Ranch Headquarters lies at the epicenter of access roads and the newly constructed loop road. The first phase includes the new headquarters and barns. The barns are arranged to take advantage of the prevailing breezes and provide a village atmosphere on the site. Programming produced equipment and maintenance barns for the ranch equipment, office space for the ranch foremen and a game/ guide barn for visitors and hunting

Bluffview Residence began as
a Porch House project located in a North Dallas neighbourhood. It holds similar characteristics in form and language to the Porch House but consists of an elevated concrete slab construction and custom program to suit the clients needs and desires. The project is centered around five existing pecan trees on the property. The trees became the focus of the project and helped create the 3 Courtyard and Living Section 4 Concept Diagram
“living room.� A gable form of cedar extrudes and wraps around the trees forming the defining the L shape and outdoor spaces. The elevated slab was introduced as a means to help protect the trees so that water could penetrate the critical root zone and would not stress the trees during construction. This landscape reinforces the canopy with forest species and planting that will over grow when mature. Two guest
rooms are then separated to complete the courtyard with each having their own porches facing the courtyard. The threshold of planting separates it from a busy street, and a private path enters the living room between the guest houses which creating a serene experience for the clients within the urban environment. 4 Photo courtesy of Casey Dunn Bluffview

The Bridge House is a Rural Housing sanitary housing through Service prototype to serve West Alabama’s housing shortage. The Rural Housing Service is a part of Rural Development in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). It operates the Section 502 Mutual Self-Help Housing Loan program in rural areas to help very low income households to construct their own homes. The program is targeted to families who are unable to buy decent, safe, and
conventional methods. Owning a house rather than a trailer, the resident is investing in a home that will outlast their own lifetime. The twenty thousand dollar house [20k] is a prototype home that aims to provide an alternative to substandard housing and the omnipresent trailer. The 20k house was put to us as a prototypical, siteless, clientless home that responds to rural West Alabama’s

housing needs. The bridge house builds upon years of research by the Rural Studio with the use of light gauge metal truss system and penalized construction. Touching the ground in four locations, the house cantilevers over a ravine and negotiates the steep site. A copper colored shed roof wrapper gives contrast to the galvalume panel sheathing. Interiors are minimally finished and act as a backdrop to the
6 client’s lifestyle. Built over the course of a year, it proposes that a home can be built for under $20,000 (the 502 loan minimum). Once contracted, $10,000 is designated for materials, while the remaining $10,000 pays labour and profit with the notion that the more expensive materials equals easier assemblage. The bridge house is innovative, low maintenance, energy efficient, warm, dry and noble and built by the Rural Studio. Bridge House

The EPIcenter is a young profession-

al collaborative that seeks to pursue citizen architecture for a long term response to the needs of the community. It seeks to offer those who are underprivileged the possibility of a more sustainable future. Generational poverty plagues the town of Green River forcing many to live in substandard conditions. With so few housing options many are homeless, and there is no temporary housing assistance or
housing authority. However, the community has immense potential with its location to I-70 Interstate, the to Green River, and Amtrak Station. EPIcenter seeks to instigate economic progress through its serving of the community through housing resources, community engagement, and multidisciplinary design services. Providing affordable housing is part of the solution. The renovation of a 104 year old billiard hall into the resource
center focused those efforts. The

EPIcenter’s projects in the region serve the under served. Completed in 2010, the EPIcenter continues to function as a non-profit with a focus on housing, arts & design, and outreach to include fellowship programs and artist residency. The programs have added to culture of rural Utah and reinvigorated the town and landscape. As an active board member, I remain dedicated to this mission.

The old gabled roof known as the hat, has been removed and will prevent future water damage due to improper draining. A simple mono-sloped roof with standing seam metal will shed the water to feed a small garden.
The current hard wood flooring was salvaged. The old wood flooring will be sanded and refinished and recycled as the new flooring and walls wrapping the interior of the new addition for future rest-room facilities.
The old facade was replaced by a new modern face with floor to ceiling windows & doors. The new facade will be the storefront of the EPIcenter, acting as a resource center to the area for train passengers and a host for community events.

To avoid future erosion and water seepage, the concrete block walls were repaired, water proofed and sealed for protection, shielding the hundred year old block from further wear.
A new concrete foundation wall, footing, and basement floor has replaced the damaged block and contains light wells to allow proper ventilation of the basement and allowing for future program in the space.

The Crystal Geyser Trails project
began as an endeavor sponsored by the John Wesley Powell River History Museum and the city of Green River, UT the project was an opportunity to articulate the museum’s concept of a pavilion & trail and enhance the local attraction of the area’s cold-water geyser. The pavilions serve as destination points along the river as well as nighttime attractions to those passing over the interstate. Canoe launches along
the Green River lead to the termination, the Crystal Geyser. This is a place where local hiking trails converge to draw the tourists and adventurers from nearby Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Since inception, the city have added trails to the masterplan and more phasing in conjunction with Epicenter. The project leaves the framework for the visual interests that have been brilliantly executed by the University of Utah and the Epicenter’s
Fellowship artist program. The moment’s of pause phase adds to the attractions of the landscape and the area with the Epicenter’s art fellowship projects which focus on landscape, history, and frameworks. The project does not impose itself upon the land but instead the architecture is defined by Utah’s landscape. With simple forms and materials, the riverwalk moves along providing moments of interest for the participants, culminating at the Crystal Geyser.

The Cedar House is a home for Willie
Belle Green located in the Blackbelt of Alabama. The Blackbelt and Mason’s Bend is synonymous with the Rural Studio, and has an established array of Rural Studio projects to go along with the storied Bryant, Harris, and Green families that make Mason’s Bend their home. Beginning Fall of 2004 and ending in June 2005, sixteen second year students designed and constructed a new the home for Willie Belle to 3 Mason’s Bend Road and Green Lane 4 South Elevation
replace a deteriorating trailer that she lived in most of her life. It was the first Rural Studio project for the Green family. The house was sited between her two children and would converse with a thesis built home for a daughter near the edge of the cul-de-sac, which harbors the Green family. Early construction of a nearby tool shed established a language for the house. The platform framed construction allowed the two cedar wrapped boxes

shift by one another, separated by a hall and negotiating a desire for public & private spaces which create screened porch areas on the corners. The home for Willie Belle was an enveloping experience of working with a client and a team in a historically significant rural setting and in the new tradition of the Rural Studio. It strayed from past experimental forms and materials to fulfill client needs and focused on well detailed and articulate spaces. Cedar House

Grey Fields and Ghost Boxes
began as an exploration of density with a site of an abandoned home improvement store and parking lot. The project was given a program of residential and commercial spaces that would help reclaim the site. The program developed and evolved into the separations of a landscaped fabric and the connections of the aerial redcubed ghost boxes. Public & private, perception & experience, and the 4 Analytic Layer Drawing 5 Crane Inspiration
4 relationship between them drives the theoretical project, focusing on the provisions and opportunities that drawing could offer; all of which begin to inform and create the architecture. Drawing on the theory of Deleuze and Guittari’s smooth and striated spaces, and combined with the mechanics of perspective and diagram, grey fields and ghost boxes envisions a space where these qualities can exist and blurring the relationship of what
5 might be considered public and private. The new landscape emerges from the layers of an intensive space rather than extensive, a smooth haptic space. The optic would become an aspect of how one would experience the ghost and move within the landscape. The smooth space is within the field of experience. It moves along with the figure and the physical, helping to shape the space, events, and the movement of the figure. Ghost Boxes

The site borders a public park and respects the order of the ward and city history by being divided into two trust lots with the built forms lying within the traditional geometries. Although the site does not reinstate the street, the space between the trust lots is used for the residents, an opportunity to use the space while respecting the
gallery spaces focus west towards the business district and more public area of the city. A concrete envelope formally moves in direction to the surrounding context, while providing shade and privacy to the units beneath.
