Spec House 01

Summer-Fall 2022

Spec House 01 is a roughly 3000 sqft home located in Atascadero, CA. Located on side of Highway 101, to dampen the acoustics a canted volume was placed placing, nterlocking with the existing massing. This allowed us tuck in all of the rooms to the rear of the house, dismissing of the acoustics, in addition to appealing to the agricultural scene of the town through the barn-style aesthetics.

RE:VIVO

Winter-Spring 2022

RE:VIVO is a research center focused on augmented reality and utilizing its technological applications to populate the living environment. Implementing this technology could revolutionize how we not only view, but also interact with the tangible world within an augmented condition. The building responds to the notion that users require different environments to maximize productivity by integrating motorized office spaces. These spaces provide users with the ability to collaborate within a private environment.

Alien Entity

fall 2021

The Alien Entity for Space Exploration lands a foreign object on the site in Lompoc, CA. Clad in undulating stainless steel panels, the object appears alien over a natural landscape, and provides a unique spatial experience that houses exhibition and living spaces. The object is docked above a ground level, glasses in threshold that causes the object to appear to be hovering. The object is pierced by a tube diagrid structure that provides engaging atrium space, vertical circulation, and culminates in a view deck oriented towards nearby launch sites.
