Timber Tower
This design makes use of the ‘Conifer Column’ fictional patent. Its structure is composed of triple-pronged assemblies, each with beams radiating in 6 directions. Thick 9-ply panels of CLT compose the pronged vertical (trunk-like) and horizontal (branch-like) elements of each Conifer Column. These are joined together with steel connections hidden within the structure and behind…

Stick Stack
This method of construction is suited to temporary installations, deconstruction, and reconstruction, and structures like this could be built almost anywhere. It’s even imaginable that sets of beams could be manufactured with excessive notching to create a kit of parts from which varied assemblages could be composed. Although the Stick Stack is a frame system,…

Two Houses
In a team of two, Annie Hull and I studied the Bass House (also known as Case Study House #20B) and designed an ADU to fit into its backyard. A frame for opaque and light-transmitting swinging panels around three living pods, our design is highly configurable and suitable for up to three inhabitants. Precedent Accessory

Architecture, Inside-Out
This “backward” architecture project began with a study of Johnston Marklee’s View House. Crops of that house’s drawings were transformed into an object which slowly transitioned into a building whose site and program were created as final steps.

Design Fundamentals II
The second and final pre-architectural design course I undertook in undergrad, DF2, facilitated continued exploration of the dimensions of space and spatial representation. This course encouraged the development of ideas within groups and revealed the rewards of combining forces with others to share interests, passions, and work. Subterranean Sublime A structure with spaces both above…
