01 WOOD & STONE
W ith the expansion of the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design into the new Anthony Timerlands Center, the school was looking to create a permanent exhibition of the Edward Durell Stone furniture collection in the ATC that is currently being held in storage. The design of this exhibition was drawn from Stone’s consistent use of scale in all of his work. This inspired our team to create realistic “sets” of furniture that could be seen in a home, showing how each piece’s size can be seen compared to other pieces from the collection. The idea to to hang the furniture from the CLT ceiling was driven from the verticality of Arkansas’ forests, choosing to turn the furniture on different elevations to represent the different levels of treetops. This proposal also includes the design of a help desk that will be staffed during large events. This project was completed in partnership with Parisa Beladi and Christopher Korff.

Inspired by the unique roof profile of the Anthony Timberlands Center, this help desk showcases the 141° angle in its facade. This desk is also made entirely from CLT dunnage. The facade of the desk was made into LVL, inspired by the studio desks that will be in the Timberland Center studio spaces. It is around 7’ in length and 2’ 6” in depth, leaving enough room for one student to staff the desk during large events.

02 SEED TO SUCCESS
FOURTH YEARFALL 2024
Located in Rome’s lively and historical district of Testaccio, this training center serves to prepare young adults aged 20+ on the Autism Spectrum Disorder to go into the “real world” and enter a career related to horticulture or cooking. This 13,000 square foot building once served as part of the slaughterhouse located in Testaccio. After shutting down and being repurposed, the building currently acts as one of Roma Tre’s eight schools for their architecture program. In order to fully prepare these young adults, they are provided with a teaching kitchen. greenhouse, a large, flexible classroom, and staff-student support areas. Because the building is located next to a large market during the day and a live music venue at night, bringing the community into the space was imperative to the design. For this purpose, there is a large indoor-outdoor communal dining area and a community garden where products can then be sold at the neighboring market. This project was completed in partnership with Aeryn Smith.
This training center is a sensory-friendly space for young adults with a range of high to medium functioning Autism that nurtures personal growth and integration into the community through hands-on learning based in crop cultivation, cooking, and community involvement. By gaining education and experience in agriculture, these individuals will build the independence, confidence, and knowledge to transition them into the workforce.

03 FAYETTEVILLE MOVEMENT
Just off the University of Arkansas’ campus, an existing 3-story building, previously used as a Levi’s Jeans factory in the early 20th century, sits on the corner of West Avenue and Lafeyette Street. Fayetteville Movement and Music Center will utilize this historic building as a community center and music library to bring a smaller subset of people from the larger Fayetteville community together to learn, play, move, and find connections. through their love for music and/or dance. This music and dance library allows for patrons to explore the first two levels of the building, taking them through a retail area, music practice and podcast rooms, an archive displaying some of Arkansas’ music and dance history, a dance studio, a reading and research area, and three types of collections: strings, electronics, and percussion.
Originally constructed as a Levi’s Jeans factory, this building now serves as the Center for Math and Science Education. Situated on one of Fayetteville’s busiest intersecting streets, adjacent to Dickson St, stands a structure brimming with untapped potential. With a beautiful red brick facade, multiple windows on each side, and ample room for outdoor activities, this building holds promise as a focal point for establishing a fresh community identity within Fayetteville. With multiple windows on each facade of the building, there is much potential to unlock the capabilities that natural light can take on in a space when an open floor plan is implemented.

PADERBORN UNITED
Paderborn United Living began with a pre-existing structure in Paderborn, Germany. The goal of the project was to create a place where all ADA codes and standards required for the United States were being met and a place where seniors could age in a place where almost all of their needs were met without having to leave. There are two major population groups in Paderborn: the senior community of 60+ years old, and the college-aged community. While these are the two most prominent age groups in the town, there wasn’t much opportunity for overlap, so creating a space within the larger Paderborn community where people felt comfortable to come in and sit down with residents, come in to work in a new environment, or to come in and grab a drink at the bar was a driving factor in this design.
Central High School, a national historic site, is expanding and adding a fieldhouse, set to open in September, and a science building, set to open in January 2025. This signage design demonstrates an abstracted tiger stripe pattern that is on the exterior of the building. The custom design varies based on the room the sign is attached to. The signage sketches were converted into the detail drawings by DFI Architectural Signs.

LR CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
LECTURE HALL WALL TILE
Along with the signage for the expansion of Central High School, a tile design was needed for the entry wall of the auditorium in the science building. The client wanted a design that appears abstracted, but has a rhythm to it. This wall also may include large lettering centered on the wall, distinguishing the lecture hall entrance from other spaces.
LITTLE ROCK MAIN BRANCH RENOVATION
The main branch of the Central Arkansas Library System is completely renovating their space. Located in Downtown Little Rock, this library attracts people from all over the city. This renovation will expand the library’s resources to appeal to a larger crowd. While some of the existing furniture from CALS will be used in this renovation, the majority of the public areas will include new furniture, helping to add pops of color and comfort throughout the space. Below are two QR codes that lead to a mood board furniture powerpoint for the space and a master furniture presentation that will be presented to the CALS team for new furniture selections.
