Pods + Treehouses

Pacific Environments of New Zealand have designed pod-like treehouses sitting 33 feet high in redwood trees. I love the wrapping of the wood to enclose the pod without a literal fully enclosed shell.

My New Website

I completed my first portfolio website. To view it, click here. I really like how it has come together.

Concert Hall Concept Image

I've been working diligently on my senior exit project, a concert hall located in Athens, Georgia. I wanted to share my concept image to portray the types of sculptural forms I've been studying during this project.

Also, I've been building a website of my work and will share when it is completed.

Old Clarke County Jail Site

This is the Old Clarke County Jail in Athens.  This jail will be the site of my (hypothetical) concert hall I'm designing for my exit project.  French architect Leon Henry Charbonnier designed the jail in 1876 in the Second Empire architectural style. I'll post updates as they come.

Geometric Forms

Since completing our very geometric South African school project, I keep finding really great architecture comprised of varying geometric shapes. Here are some favorites of mine from my endless pinteresting and blogging.

Vision Questing

We finished our South African school project for the 2012 IDEC Student Competition. Here are the results:

Binta

Swiss designer Philippe Bestenheider has designed the Binta armchair, with African-inspired prints and woodcarvings. The bright textiles encompass the rubber polyurethane structure, recalling a tree-trunk form.
