holly haus

The Holly neighborhood has one of the most vivid histories in all of Austin. For years, Holly has been a bastion of working-class, predominantly Latine citizens, who carved out a multi-generational community in the face of the city’s early 20thcentury segregation policies. The neighborhood has been fighting for itself for several decades - first against environmental injustice and now against gentrification. Given these issues, Holly Haus has five ambitions. The first is to combat affordability through densification using both missing middle and mat-type solutions. The project also aims to negotiate the different scales of the neighborhood, build efficiency into complexity (especially in the building’s structural system), and to facilitate an environmental reclamation of the site. Lastly, an emphasis is placed on individuality and peculiarity over anonymity.

angel island sanctuary

The goal of this project is to create a space for cultural realignment, specifically the realignment of national attitudes toward immigration. Prejudice stems from ignorance. Thus, the main focus of the project is on education. Visitors learn about the history of the site and the history of immigration. The importance of these ideas is emphasized by connections to the site, breathtaking scenery, and intentional play of light and scale to create a powerful and unforgettable experience. Creating a place of healing is also vital to the success of this design - as is the ability to provide a space for naturalization ceremonies which celebrate immigrants’ road toward citizenship. The Angel Island Sanctuary acknowledges and presents the wrongdoings of our past and realigns our course toward a brighter, more accepting future.

wild west motel

This five week design project proposed a series of questions about the nature of inhabitation, objects, and environmental conservation. The Wild West Motel is an off the grid collection of rooms for Texas travellers. It sits in the mostly abandoned ghost town of Terallingua, just outside Big Bend. The thick rammed earth walls of each motel room take advantage of the thermal mass of the material and help hold the interior temperature constant. The thickness also provides opportunities for carvings within the walls which expand and contract with their expected uses - from nooks for soap and various personal items to a large bed alcove. Sunlight is also carefully considered and only allowed to enter the space at certain moments - creating the sense of a cool refuge from the desert sun.

hancock collaborative

The empty Sears department store at the Hancock Center sits in a sea of parking in the most American typological scenario - the strip mall. However, by adding green spaces and human scale activities to the public areas of the site, the currently abandoned department store is enlivened through an entirely new kind of urban-scale organization. Through examining the ways that work and leisure activities leave their mark on the design of everyday items like the couch, ironing board, and bathtub, we were able to reimagine a coliving complex where residents are encouraged to interact and help each other out with day to day tasks through the design of spaces and furniture.

hill of the arts

Villa Altissimo sits on a hillside outside Turin, Italy overlooking the city and the Alps beyond. This proposal adds several artist residences and a large gallery space to the site in addition to the existing historic structures. The two distinct buildingsthe residences and the gallery - differ in scale and structural system, but are both constructed with and celebrate the use of wood. Both buildings were generated through an exploration of structural connections. These initial detail or “joint” studies informed two overall structural schemes which were developed into the final building designs. The systems and details of theses structures are celebrated and integral to the design, thus placing the art of building science and statics alongside the traditional art forms which take place within them.
