Uphead Tea store, located in Cielo Vista Mall, underwent a renovation project that involved the merging of two units. The newly designed space accommodates an area for shoe display and serving of boba tea. The project encompassed the installation of new flooring, ceiling and millwork for display and serving areas. The design and placement of the equipment not only facilitates the preparation and presentation of tea but also serves as an engaging focal point for customers. The installation of new lighting draws attention to the unique features, colors, and textures of each pair of shoes.

The Playa Lake Townhome development is a thoughtfully designed residential community intended to provide comfortable and convenient housing for graduate students and professors at Texas Tech University. This development addresses the growing need for quality accommodations for new faculty members who have faced challenges in finding suitable living spaces.The development is uniquely situated on a plot that includes a protected playa lake, a natural feature requiring construction to maintain a 100-foot distance from its boundaries.

The community comprises three distinct unit types to cater to various housing needs. This includes Type 1: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, Type 2: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, Type 3: 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Both the front and backyard areas are designed as communal spaces to encourage interaction among residents and create a sense of community. These areas are perfect for relaxation, social gatherings, and fostering a healthy lifestyle.

SITE CLUSTER

This Playa Lake housing development was created by utilizing a cluster. A span of 320x320-foot area included the layout of 14 residential units. It was divided into 4 Type: 1, 4 Type: 2, and 6 Type: 3 units. Each unit’s backyard faces a communal space featuring walkways, gazebos, and a water feature, designed to foster community interaction.

The cluster is seamlessly integrated into the site, forming a cohesive community with central areas and walkways leading towards a focal point at the playa lake. Connected walking trails enhance accessibility and encourage an active lifestyle. The development is a blend of residential comfort and vibrant outdoor spaces that enhance overall quality of life for its residents.

TTU COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE RENOVATION

TEXAS TECH ARCHITECTURE RENOVATION & ADDITION

The current state of the Texas Tech Huckabee College of Architecture requires an urgent need for renovation and expansion. The proposed project strategically addresses key challenges, focusing on enhancing vertical connection, creating interactive gathering areas, and providing additional classroom space. The design intent revolves around incorporating the signature brick material used across Texas Tech’s campus. By showcasing the brick in a parametric facade the project highlights the new building as a prominent representation of a school of design. This approach not only respects the university’s architectural identity but also serves as a visual testament to our institution’s dedication to creativity and thoughtful design within the campus environment.
