Crosswater House Lake Thunderbird Boathouse Location: Norman, OK, USA
Nestled into the sloping terrain, the Crosswater House emerges as a spatial extension of the lan. It is partially embedded into the earth, allowing the lake to enter and animate ints interior and in between spaces, blurring the boundary between the built and natural environments. Water becomes both guest and host, shaping the atmosphere. Curved rooflines reaching for the sky mimic the rippling surface of the lake, creating a soft tectinic language that resists regidity. These forms gather light and shadow form the eastern sun, offering shelter while maintaining openess to the sky and water. Programmatically, the boathouse is organized to choreograph movement from land to water, from grounded entry to aquatic release. These spaces are sequenced to heighten sensory transitions throughout your journey.

La Cava Urbana Study Abroad Group Project
Group Members: Gavin Hildebrand & Danielle Gregory Location: Mattatoio, Rome, Italy Rome is a city built through accumulation. Instead of stacking time, the site of La Cava Urbana is excavated. Rather than adding a layer to the palimpsest, carving is taking action to reveal new spatial and social possibilities. With the vertical dominance that reflects how Rome has been built over the centuries, moments for sectional intimacy are providing new spatial opportunities, complimenting Rome’s typical urban narrative. Following the natural angle of Mount Testaccio, La Cava Urbana mimics this angle while sitting just slightly away from it, creating a pathway for pedestrians. Along the path between these vertical elements, there is a ramp just around the corner that leads into a grand piazza and a shaded area for gathering and circulation.

OK Culinary Arts LAB Location: Norman, OK, USA
Through the use of biomimickry came the creation of this multi-functional space, designed to foster community engagement, culinary creativity, and a sense of natural flow. Shown through the GROWING, FLOWING, and BRANCHING of spaces becomes areas of social gathering and opportunities for nature to be implemented. Inspired by the organic shape and properties of the ginger root, this building eliminates majority of sharp corners, creating a harmonious and inviting environment. This hub becomes a symbol of Site Plan growth, health, and unity. James Garner Avenue

CLT (Cross Laminated Timber)
As a natural wood product, the CLT provides a healthy and comfortable indoor climate and is a sustainable choice for building materials with a low carbon footprint and durability.
Carbon Steel
It is strong and shock-resistant, making it ideal for buildings that need to withstand natural disasters like earthquakes and tornadoes. It is also highly recyclable, reducing environmental impact and making it a more eco-friendly option.
Interior Perspective
Concrete
It is incredibly strong and resistant to scratches, dents, and heavy foot traffic. It also absorbs and releases heat slowly, reducing the need for excessive heating and cooling.
Insulated Glass
This material is a smart, climate-responsive choice, especially given Oklahoma’s hot summers, cold winters, and frequent storms. It lowers HVAC energy consumption, which is crucial for both sustainability and cost savings.

BLER: Building Landscape for Ecological Regeneration Location: Norman, OK, USA
The ecocorridor bridges the gap from Oliver Woods and a green field that has been separated by highway 9. It aids for species to be able to cross the highway safely without the disturbance of the noise and danger. The ecological corridor sits within an urban environment creating a negotiation between natural ecosystems and human culture where both can thrive.

Weaving the Storm presented at The National Weather Center Location: Norman, OK, USA
Digging into research about hurricanes led into the creation of weaving the essence and energy of one. Learning traditional native amercian basket weaving turned into a skill used to create weather in woven form. The painting was created first with the darker oil & acrylic paint with media inclusion, cut up magazine pieces, to add more texture, then fading off into lighter paint with white space, showing peace. The woven object was next, using a dark weave to represent the heaviness of a hurricane cloud, and lighter weave with colors representing the temperatures and winds.
