Linear House Austin, Texas

| Final Concept

Design Concept - Vertical Studio II Spring 2017 Currently there is a divide in east Austin between the deeply rooted inhabitants who have lived here for generations, and the new residents moving into town within the last five years. The sense of community seems to be largely lost on the new-comers which will eventually lead to a loss of neighborhood identity – nobody will have a reason to interact outside their home and make community with their neighbors. The micro house is meant to act as a catalyst to change this dynamic through spatial organization and interaction with its surroundings. The primary / public living spaces are brought to the front of the house and opened to the outside to encourage interaction between the homes inhabitants and adjacent properties. The home also takes a stance of expressing minimal impact on the neighborhoods aesthetic while still maintaining its own bold identity. This is accomplished with a minimalist material palette, as well as submerging a large portion of the home underground to reduce its visual presence.

Coffee Table Design / Fabrication

Design Concept - Wood Design Fall 2017 This coffee table closely embodies my design ideals with its contemporary reimagining of a mid-century aesthetic, minimalist composition, and technical detailing. This design where the legs puncture through the top stems from an idea for a table where the legs and the top both express themselves equally in the composition. The solid maple top was initially shaped with a band saw, then planed to final shape by hand. The mahogany legs are fitted together with a 60 degree bridal joint which expresses itself on the table’s top. They are then fit into the carved out sides of the top to give the piece a monolithic look. Both the top and the legs taper from 1.5” in the middle down to 0.75” at the ends.

Design Concept - Vertical Studio I Fall 2016 Focus is placed on the train, more particularly the axes of the tracks and the borders they define as well as cross. One enters on the long primary axis with views directly out to the lake, revealing a site element once obscured by the trees. This axis, along with a shallow reflecting pool, create a permeable border between the children’s private living spaces and their more public learning and activity spaces. The religious chapel is located at the bottom of the site directly on axis with this border, further emphasizing its significance. Since the majority of the children’s journeys are spent on the tops of trains, importance is also placed on the rooftops of buildings. The lower roofs act as gathering spaces for relaxation, studying or playing. In addition to them being largely obscured by the building masses, the large concrete walls have slit opening to wash them with light – this serves to reduce the oppressiveness of the large walls as light is diffused through the adjacent spaces.

Design Concept - Integrative Studio 2018 “A HOUSE is not a HOME” was both the title of the studio and the driving concept behind the design of this project. My partner and I defined a HOME as a place of comfort with a certain amount of privacy as well as a degree of pride of ownership within a community. To accomplish this on a relatively small urban plot off of East Cesar Chavez, we decided to utilize a system of shared structural walls along with a unit module for efficient and economic organization of space. The key was arranging 16 single family units on 3 stories while still allowing for the appropriate amount of natural light, privacy, as well as our own personal charge - a first floor entrance with a private front yard. The units are arranged in such a way as to accomplish all of these tasks aided by a vibrant ceramic screen that acts as both a privacy screen where necessary, and as an identifier of individual units through color and pattern.

Welding and Metalwork 2303 - Fall 2014 There is a certain elegance about a structure being an unbroken, monolithic element. To capture this elegance in a chair, a continuous loop of hollow steel tubing, without any penetrations or breaks, acts as the primary structure. The frame is built of 1.5” hollow steel tube to allow enough strength for the chair to be connected only at the seat and the back, without any additional cross bracing. All edges are miter-cut, welded, and ground smooth. To preserve the continuity of the steel loop, rare-earth magnets are used in lieu of traditional fasteners to attach the plywood back and seat. The strength in the chair’s design is found in its assembly: mitered edges, no cross bracing, no fasteners, all contributing to the continuous nature of the steel frame.

28 29

| Magnets set into plywood strips, fixed to the back of the laminate, allow the removable back and seat to remain in place while fixed to the chair.

Steel Chair

| The angle of the chair’s back must work in tandem with the angle of the legs. The top edge of the back cannot extend beyond the bottom corner of the legs to prevent the chair from tipping backwards.

Freelance Design - Home Interior Renovation Spring 2020 Interior renovation of a 70’s home located in South Austin. The design concept was to remain relatively minimalist while capturing the warmth of natural wood, and the intrigue of a few select pops of color in the material palette. The project consisted of selecting new flooring throughout the home to replace existing tile, removal of a wall separating the kitchen and living room, replacing the fireplace surround and hearth with terrazzo paneling, and a complete overhaul of the kitchen - reorienting it towards the large window in front of which we placed a deeper “pasta making” counter to suit the client’s needs.

Courtyard Home Austin, Texas

Clayton & Little Architects - Home Renovation and Addition Spring 2015 A previous renovation to the home from several years focused largely on the back half of the property, leaving the front facade virtually untouched. Our goal was to rebuild the front half of the home with an aesthetic that both matches the client’s modern taste and worked with the design of the previous renovation, while also reconfiguring the spaces to better suit their needs. This included a complete demo and rebuild of the front half of the house, adding roughly 300 SF of space to the children’s wing on the first floor, and 600 SF in the form of a guest room and expanded master closet to the second floor. The kitchen island was also reconfigured along with the mudroom to add more storage.

Design / Build - Advanced Design (Public Interest Design) Summer 2017 In 2017 the studio partnered with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to design and build a shade structure at Galveston Island State Park, one of the most visited parks in the state. The shade structure will be used by the environmental educator focusing on middle and high schools in the region. These students will use the shade pavilion for an orientation talk before they begin a nature walk. The four-hundred and fifty square foot structure sits on the bay’s edge nestled between yaupon hollies sculpted by southwest winds. A short walk along an informal path from the parking through the hollies leads to the structure. Part of the design includes a gabion wall filled with recycled concrete which provides the opportunity for the environmental educator to talk about the importance of recycling. The wall protects visitors from afternoon sun while also providing habitat for native lizards, pollinators, and other tiny creatures typically found in this coastal environment. This inhabited feature can be used as a living example to describe the Gulf Coast’s interdependent ecosystem. Tightly spaced wooden louvers are angled to maximize full shade throughout the summer. A similar wood screen serves the same purpose by shading the southern sun.
