Hickory Hill Inn & The Hickory Hideaway

Small Scale Hospitality Design

Senior Exit Studio | Senior Year, Spring 2025

AutoCAD, Revit, 3DS Max, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop

The Hickory Hill Inn and the Hickory Hideaway reimagines the historic Hickory Hill property in Thomson, Georgia, as a boutique hospitality venue that combines a restored inn with two unique guest amenities: a speakeasy-style lounge and a small-scale cinema. The project aims to preserve the home's historical character while revitalizing its use to serve both travelers and the local community. The design emphasizes adaptive reuse, transforming the estate into a thoughtfully curated inn that offers guests an immersive and intimate experience rooted in Southern charm. Complementing the inn are two exclusive amenities: The Hideaway, a speakeasy-inspired lounge filled with Roaring Twenties glamour and contemporary luxury, and the Hickory Cinema, an 18-seat private theater designed for comfort and cinematic ambiance. This extensive remodel will serve as a model for small-scale luxury hospitality rooted in history and storytelling. It will revitalize a local landmark and become a meaningful asset to the Thomson, Georgia community.

Mr Watson’s Library

Mr Watson’s Library underwent a complete transformation, relocating it from the second floor to a more public space on the first floor While maintaining the original layout with bookcases lining the walls, I enhanced the design by adding a comfortable seating area by the fireplace I continued the use of nature-inspired materials, incorporating landscapethemed wallpaper and dark, glossy built-in bookcases that reflect natural light during the day To preserve a warm, inviting atmosphere, I selected rich dark leather furnishings The wallpaper was also extended onto the ceiling, a detail that was used in the original design

Architectural & Furniture Sketches

Architectural Sketches & Furniture Design

Studio IV & Furniture Design for Studio IV | Junior Year, Summer 2024

Hand Sketches | Pencil on Mixed-Media Paper

These architectural renderings were created during my study abroad experience in Italy. We were tasked with hand-sketching ten churches or buildings we encountered during our travels. Through this exercise, we learned various techniques to incorporate into our sketches. Each sketch included the façade, a floor plan, and one additional drawing of our choice such as a detailed drawing, axonometric, site plan, or elevation.

These furniture hand sketches were created as part of my furniture design class. In this course, we were tasked with sketching fifteen pieces of furniture observed throughout Cortona. Each piece was drawn from multiple perspectives, including top, side, front, back elevations, and an axonometric view, totaling approximately seventyfive sketches.
