an integrated design for the fire station includes the mechanical and structural calculations, plans, and sections. the “explode into function� design was derived from the function of the fire station, the calm before the alarm, and the explosion of the men to the emergency. the fire station includes a two hundred-seat auditorium for the public with a connection to the nearby park. the iconic tower is the main structure, supporting the glass box with two twenty feet deep trusses. the auditorium and parking is located underground.

double skinny house
junior-year
305-fall-studio
professor-craig-babe
set in a urban area, this house was designed to be split for two different clients. the building was divided evenly between occupied and green space. the occupied space is divided evenly between clients. each floor is divided by the individual needs of the clients. the realtor bachelor, with a live-in maid, entertains guests frequently. the retired married couple likes to garden and has a son in college who visits in the summer. both the maid and visiting son need a separate entrance. the roof allows sunlight to enter the interior otherwise prevented by neighboring buildings on the east and west of the house.

flight house
sophomore-year
205-fall-studio
professor-gerald-maffei
the house was designed for an eccentric couple whose main interest is flight. the structure started with a tall, slender frame with counter-levered balconies and floors. the first floor, which includes the living room, is public. as you move up the floating stairs the function of each room becomes increasingly private from kitchen to study/library to the bedroom. the south facade is made of operable glass which opens for natural lighting, passive cooling, and a view of the river.

lake studio
junior-year
305-fall-studio
professor-craig-babe
located on a lake in texas, this art-studio was designed for an single person as a vacation home/office. the program called for a sustainable design utilizing passive cooling from the south wind, wooden sunshades on all south-facing windows and a water collection tank from the slope of the roof. built over the hill with minimum contact, the wood frame studio interacts with the landscape in a pleasing way.

serenbe artfarm
senior-year 406-spring-studio partnered with aubrie damron
professor-phillip-tabb
serenbe is a semi-self-sustainable community located outside atlanta. the residential and commercial areas are in close proximity to minimize the impact on nature. the “artfarm� is designed to provide an artist compound and courtyard for serenbe. it accommodates twelve artists’ studios, four housing units for visiting artists, and eight housing units for permanent residents. an amphitheater will provide a gathering area for the entire community. conforming the slabs to the hill side lessened the manipulation of the site and allowed for more cost-effective construction. a double courtyard system was then implemented with the tower/co-op space acting as the connection between the two courtyard spaces. to encourage community connection, the second story balcony unites all living spaces.

split the box to create two rows of studio with two way access
3.
the ends are turned to define the courtyard
4.
the west turned piece is tranformed into the tower while condominiums are added on top of the studios
5.
the tower is separated for the studio area and the portion of the east building is separated to create community spaces
6.
the site is conformed to the hill site by stepping down the slabs on building. one section of the building is angled perpendicular to the contours of the site while the first remains parallel to the site
