CANVAS HILL
PROJECT BRIEF
This project envisions a vibrant mixed-use residential development in Castleberry Hill, Atlanta. Inspired by the area’s rich artistic heritage, the design integrates sustainable living with community-oriented spaces. The residential component features modern units with outdoor terraces, complemented by a platform of non-residential spaces, fostering local business opportunities and cultural engagement. A central community plaza and public art installations anchor the design, creating a welcoming hub for residents and visitors alike. The development seeks to honor Castleberry Hill’s unique identity while promoting social interaction, sustainability, and inclusivity.

RYAN GRAY SHADE PAVILION
PROJECT BRIEF
The Ryan Gray Shade Pavilion was designed and built to provide shade and be a symbol of inclusion for Hillcrest Elementary School and the surrounding community. To reflect the diverse community in the design, intentional color and roof form were integrated. The pleated structure was designed to shed water, running off into an immersive rain garden.

To combat storm water run-off, me and two other students were tasked with developing a solution. Through soil absorption calculations, stone layouts, and selecting appropriate plant varieties, we introduced an interactive addition to the Shade Pavilion.
To catch the runoff water, large rocks are placed under the valleys of the roof. The large rocks not only capture runoff, but also mark the start of the footpaths across the rain garden. The integration of the rain garden into the site was a multi step process, beginning with excavation using skid steer, followed by manual efforts of shoveling and meticulous rock placement conducted by the student team.
The in-house fabrication process was the most rewarding and demanding part of the whole project. Tasks such as welding, threading, riveting, cutting, sanding, grinding, and more were learned and heavily practiced during the two months of fabrication. On site tasks practiced included skid steer operating, setting foundations, pouring concrete, laying out rain gardens, and the occasional bailing of water when foundation holes filled with water. Approximately three weeks were spent on site, from prepping the site to drill foundation holes, to the last paint touch ups on the roof before the ribbon cutting.
JUNCTION ARTS
PROJECT BRIEF
Junction Arts Performing Arts Center is a versatile venue encompassing different performance spaces. Catering to a diverse array of performance genres, Junction Arts holds a recital hall, dance studio, and experimental theater. Looking beyond the building, an outdoor theater is integrated into the urban landscape, complimented by an adjacent sculpture garden. The garden showcases an abstract sculpture depicting dancers, adding a unique artistic flair to the ambiance.
