Reflect Translation On the University of Virginia campus’s famous Lawn lies an opportunity for a twelfth pavilion. In such sacred space minimalism is almost necessary, in this display of contextual relations and historic respects. The completely proportional and relative parts features a series of intersecting spaces that play off one another to provide shading, privacy, and a reciprocated parti. The lawn-level, copper trapezoid, lours in the user and provides a visual procession. The second sneaks its way onto this plane and protrudes out to the site below/behind with an offset louvered concrete enclosure. The lantern on the lawn.

Paths All Traveled By In collaboration with J.P. Baron. The integrations studio, which features a focus on the technicalities of building alongside design, programed a proposal for market hall and culinary institute. Meant to extend the activity of Market Square into an adjacent park, a clean response of public space in respect to the context of the existing culture and location is proposed. The base parti forms along a distribution of lines stemming from a single point which dictates circulation and structure throughout. The green wall divides the outdoors and the threshold to the enclosed, protecting them as well, that features a single enticing,curious moment.

Cognate Fragment In collaboration with Matthew Barnett and the endowed professorship with Lawrence Scarpa. The 18th St. Arts Center is an organization that temporarily harbors beginning artists in a close knit community. In light of accommodating for as many aspects as possible of the site, program, and activity, a modular was created to form ultimate versatility. The idea of the frame varies throughout to accompany all mediums of expression. On the facade it allows for the display of the user from within. In the landscape it highlights the activities of landscape as well as framing the other programmatic aspects of site and company.

Permissible Field Network In a studio focused on designing for future possibilities focusing on the creative and innovative design process of doing so in uncomfortable/new ways unchartered territory is reached. Developing from a bank of spatially indicative/enticing vocabulary, a new bridging network of ambiguous explorations and connections works to reconnect the people with space and people with each other within space. Creating a realm for increased possibilities. Functions take place as defined by specific moments in time in a field of permissibility, desegregating the city and the cities within.

Skeen Residence In company and cooperation of University of Tennessee AIAS | FBD, the city of Knoxville, and client, this project sought to provide access to the home via vehicular entrance with a concrete ramp adjacent to existing parking which leads to a wrap around deck that provides access to both entries and is framed by the planting bars which make re use of used railroad ties in a functionally beautiful layout highlighted by material contrast and detail. In a completely student-ran, extracurricular organization, qualities such as leadership, cooperation, and professionalism are necessary as well as developed.
