The shelter is oriented roughly 10 degrees east of north, facing across the center of the crater from its location on the south rim. This angle aligns its long axis with sunrise on the summer solstice, in keeping with the Viking longhouses that are the forebears of traditional Icelandic turf houses. While these earlyNordic structures were likely built so for spiritual and agricultural reasons, Hverfjall Light’s solar orientation nods to the secular religion of scientific naturalism and to summer as the height of tourist season; visitor presence being its own raison d’être. Its gabled roof invokes a near-universal signifier of shelter, as well as a sensible design for the region’s weather, while its proportions again point to the Icelandic vernacular dwelling. The exterior platforms and benches provide a simple resting place with a slightly elevated vantage over the path to the south and the curving trails to the east and west. The interior floor and its rows of seating are angled as if in a theater toward the fully glazed north wall. This arrangement frames a view of the center of the crater, arguably the locus of visitor attention, and acknowledges our complicity in constructing the ‘spectacle’ of nature. We revere its power and marvel at our own relative insignificance, and yet
paradoxically attempt to exert our own will upon it by drawing boundaries and adjudicating which parts ought or ought not to be ‘preserved’ or ‘protected.’ Beyond this tension however, the enclosed interior, while only nominally insulated and without electric service, nevertheless shelters visitors from the bite of the crater’s winds and their constant, dull roar. In stark contrast to the sonic properties of the open exterior landscape, the smooth panels that give presence to the structure’s physical form also create an acoustically reverberant space within. Not unlike a museum, this chamber brings a heightened awareness to one’s own physical presence, the weight of a footfall or pattern of breath, in an atmosphere of aesthetic contemplation. Further, Hverfjall Light’s walls, ceiling, and floor— composed of translucent micro-cell polycarbonate panels— reward the visitor’s presence at different times of day or season by registering the shifting character of daylight atop the crater. Whether the oranges and pinks of sunrise and sunset, the grays and pale blues of an overcast afternoon, or the greens and purples of the Aurora Borealis, these panels act simultaneously as a diffuser and a screen to amplify the colors of the sky.

Growing a House (by Addition) proposes a design for an addition to one of five noteworthy preexisting houses from the 1990’s, each with a unique and specific program. I selected the Lazarus House from 1992 by Schwartz/Silver Architects, built near the town of Copake, NY to challenge myself with its bold emphasis on form and exterior dematerialization. Designed in an abstract postmodern style, this country getaway home for a theatrical older couple and their three creative adult sons appears as a hierarchical cluster of masses (described as a “hen with chicks”) set on a large, sparse lot in a striking rural landscape. The program for the additions specified an indoor gym of roughly 300 square feet, a deck of similar area with hot tub, and a greenhouse of roughly 200 square feet. The internal geometry of the rooms in plan, derived from golden and root-2 rectangles, along with the angles at which they intersect the original topographical grading lines were utilized to place and orient the additions in keeping with the original guiding principles of the house. As the upper guest entrance was left undeveloped in the original design, this area was refined. The topographical lines around that portion of the house were also extruded to create terraces and an entrance patio for a new formal entry set between the greenhouse and gym.

Two Rooms/Two Writers seeks to create just that: separate but related workspaces for a married couple set apart from their main house on a rural site in South Carolina. The clients are Richard Bompas and Amy McFall, successful authors in their late 40’s. Richard writes contemporary crime novels with a touch of the macabre and Amy writes uplifting family sagas, usually set in the South. The design strives to balance their individual requirements and a necessary degree of privacy within a shared, cohesive whole.

From the same entry door, the space splits with the two separate creative energies that flow down the hillside to each writing desk and its own unique view. Amy writes in the morning, so her space is oriented to greet the sunrise, while Richard, working at night, angles toward sunset in the west. The core contains restrooms and storage with a central fireplace in the shared living room. The long side walls consist of structural bookcases, filled with the books that both literally and figuratively keep the roof overhead.

CASA DE VIDRO STUDY Graphic Analysis of Lina Bo Bardi’s Casa de Vidro Instructor: Danelle Briscoe / Spring 2021 This project challenged students to examine and document Lina Bo Bardi’s influential Casa de Vidro (1951) through several graphic exercises. After first establishing a unifying color scheme conceptually linked to the city of São Paulo, each piece here interrogates a certain aspect of the Bardi case study and attempts to detail it through an appropriate pictorial method. Informed by Charles and Ray Eames’ Powers of Ten (1977), these works shift in scale, from the broader levels of city and neighborhood to the more specific level of the sectional detail.

This K-4 community primary school is designed for roughly 160 students and 25 staff with two home classrooms for each grade. Based on the Reggio Emilia-inspired understanding of the child as a researcher and the Montessori-inspired belief that the outdoor environment is a natural extension of the classroom, Lake Austin Garden Primary seeks to encourage and cultivate the child’s inherent inclination toward exploration and learning through play.
32
The basic classroom unit, each with its own private back garden, is meant to function much as an individual family home within the larger community of the school. Each back garden is designed as an extension of the indoor “homeroom” learning space, as a meeting place for group work, and as an opportunity for biological and ecological study. Specialty classrooms, common spaces, the gym, and the library all offer variously greater degrees of communal space to allow the child a full range of environments for activities from personal projects through large group exercises.

The connection between indoors and out, enhanced by a building massing and glazing design that utilizes solar orientation for daylighting and passive environmental control, along with organic finishes and textures and open-air circulation throughout the campus, is intended to immerse the child in a dynamic learning environment grounded in the natural world. Outside of typical recess and after-school activities, students are invited to enjoy working outside on the lawns, benches, picnic tables, and reading nooks in addition to taking in fresh air on nature walks around the campus.

Garden beds and planter boxes allow students to grow flowers, fruits, vegetables and herbs from seed which are then harvested and used for community meals and projects. The gardens also serve as a learning environment for soil testing, composting, crop rotation, and plant fertility. The heritage trees and wooded areas provide a resource for further scientific study and as inspiration for writing, music and visual art exercises.

PROFESSIONAL - FOLK VICTORIAN NOIR
FOLK VICTORIAN NOIR Historic Live/Work Duplex Renovation Tacoma, WA / 2018 Design & Construction: Dylan Treleven Photos: Mitch Olsen
When I first toured this house, the property was in extremely rough shape. It had endured decades of hard use as a college rental duplex and tea parlor followed by an aborted remodel and ten years of vacancy. Built in 1900 in a folksy late-Victorian vernacular style, the house had originally contained some lovely details, but much of its character had been stripped away by the previous owner, who had sold almost all of the original doors and windows and taken most of the walls back to the studs. The quality of the construction was evident however in the stability of the original balloon-framed Douglas fir framing members, full 1” thick cedar v-groove siding and remarkably sound post and pier foundation which had been shored up with a concrete perimeter in the 1980’s. A dormer, ridge beam, and supplemental framing had been added for a planned remodel in 2008, just before the housing market crashed. The house had been left unfinished since. In order to make the most of the site’s location on a bustling street with mixed-use zoning, I was able to modify the existing duplex format for an open-plan commercial unit in the front portion of the ground floor and a residential unit encompassing the rear portion of the ground floor and entire second floor. The owners planned to use the commercial unit as a home office and art studio, but we retained a kitchenette and full bathroom there in case of the need for guest accommodations. For the residential unit, I reconfigured the layout of the upper level for two bedrooms and utilized the newer dormer area for a master bathroom and den. A little archeology work between the walls turned up missing examples of the original doors and millwork. Consequently, I was able to set about sourcing matching doors and hardware from nearby architectural salvage yards to restore as many historical details as resources would allow. With a tight budget, I worked hands-on in every phase of this project including architectural and interior design, project management, material sourcing, interior and exterior framing and finish carpentry, and door, window, flooring, stair system, and cabinetry modification and installation.

FIELD BAR & BOTTLE SHOP Cocktail Bar & Wine Shop Build-Out Tacoma, WA / 2020 Design & Construction: Dylan Treleven Photos: Trista Peck
When Seattle service industry veteran and natural wine enthusiast Brian Hibbard first visited Tacoma, WA, he fell in love with the city’s proud blue-collar grit and unassuming charm. With Seattle becoming increasingly unaffordable and long saturated with all manner of hip eateries and bars, Hibbard realized that Tacoma would be the perfect place to realize his dream of opening an unpretentious wine and cocktail bar. He planned to serve downto-earth food and drinks with a price point and atmosphere that welcomed tradespersons, artists, and yuppies alike. Hibbard and I had met briefly a couple of years ago at the wedding of some mutual friends. When he moved to Tacoma and signed a lease on a dusty old barber shop in a 1930’s storefront, he called me up to see if I could help turn it into a restaurant.
48
I managed the project for Hibbard, designed and fabricated the bar and storage shelving, and executed the finish carpentry needed to bring his vision to life. He and I worked closely to strip the space back to its bare essentials and build out the front and back of house facilities he would need to run his business. We finished just in time for the opening Hibbard had planned in early Spring of 2020. Needless to say, the global pandemic put a serious damper on his plans. He rolled with the punches however, and managed to open as a natural wine bottle shop just as restaurants were shutting down across the state of Washington. Taking the utmost precautions as the pandemic situation develops, Hibbard is shifting the wine retail business fully online and has recently opened as the full service restaurant and cocktail bar he originally envisioned.

LITTLE BROTHER Garden Shed/Chicken Coop Tacoma, WA / 2019
Design & Construction: Dylan Treleven Photo: Mitch Olsen

For this small project, I designed and built an enclosed 64 ft2 garden shed and chicken coop with an additional 64 ft2 covered patio that plays off the architectural features of the folk Victorian house featured previously. Doors, windows, and hardware were sourced from salvage yards while siding, casing and lumber were leftovers from other projects. Besides the design, I also executed the framing and finish carpentry myself and procured all of the re-purposed materials.

SHIPSHAPE Beach House Remodel Maury Island, WA / 2017
Design: Hoedemaker Pfeiffer Publications: Sunset Magazine, Remodelista, Dexigner, Floornature Photos: Thomas J. Story
The objective for this project was converting a run-down 1920’s fisherman’s cottage into a contemporary vacation home while retaining vestiges of the site’s rich history. The building had originally been two separate bunk houses that were tied together in the 1960’s. The final design thus worked to incorporate elegantly rustic elements that would span the decades and draw further nautical inspiration from an 1890’s fishing net shed still standing on the adjacent lot. A garage with storage loft and carport were added for functionality. New decking, walking paths and gardens were also introduced to soften the landscape and further tie the home back into its site. I contributed interior and exterior carpentry, installing siding, paneling, doors, windows, casing, flooring and decking as well as framing and finish work on the new garage.
