Structure Wood Warehouse This assignment was the first of three partner projects, which focused on structure. My partner and I were assigned glued laminated timber as the structure for our building and were tasked with understanding its construction and tectonics.

Fabrication Barn Door Privacy Boards Privacy in student housing is limited and sometimes the lighting isn’t exactly ideal. Some rooms have windows that look directly into publicly trafficked areas or have strong light prohibiting sleep.

Three boards, one fogged acrylic and two plywood cork boards, slide along a series of tracks allowing for a variety of privacy levels as well as a regulation of light entering through a window.

Craft Shadow Box The goal of this project was for us to learn about the properties and tectonics of the three basic building materials, wood, steel, and concrete. Starting from precedent, I chose to create an infinity lamp, one that could be viewed from the outside, but would look as if the light never stopped. With the use of two way film, some light emitted from the bulb exits the glass while most remains and is reflected infinitely.

Community Elementary Library Speculative Site: Druid Hills Elementary school The library is separated into two spaces. The smaller section, lowered into the declining topography, is connected to the upper, larger section through an overlapped staircase. The goal of the design was to act as a gathering place for children after school, where their parents can browse and relax in the upper section with a view of their children through the overlap.

Experience Charlotte Youth Culture Center Speculative Site: 1901 N Davidson St, Charlotte, NC The design of the community center is focused on entry. There are two paths entering the site at diagonals to the sidewalk.

The paths travel to the entrance of the building and eventually terminate in separate gathering spaces. The lower floor houses an amphitheater, black-box theater, cafe, and a small library, while the upper contains a gallery and studio space 4th Year, 1st Semester

Efficiency Men’s Shelter Charlotte Housing Speculative Site: 2403 Wilkinson Blvd, Charlotte, NC As a studio, we worked with the Men’s Shelter of Charlotte, to design an efficient, affordable proposal to raise funding for the guests of the shelter. The apartments and townhouses in this project are centered on efficiency. The townhouse is two bedrooms split between two floors, the apartment is smaller but still two bedrooms. Being so small allows for the rent to remain as low as possible for residents coming from the shelter.

Engagement Men’s Shelter Tri-Pod Speculative Site: Men’s Shelter of Charlotte Once again working with the Men’s Shelter, half of our studio worked on designing and laying out a new scheme for the sleeping conditions in the shelter. The design took three beds and elevated one above the other two , creating a tri-bunk or “pod”. The design allowed for spaces of rest, where people could stand outside the corridors of the room, and for storage in between beds.

History St. Catherine’s Gold Mine Museum Speculative Site: 703 West Morehead Street, Charlotte, NC Charlotte began as a series of gold mines, St. Catherine’s was a branch of one of the largest in the city. The museum is built atop some of the old tunnels, and buries itself down into the ground to simulate the conditions of the mines as one moves down.

The tower represents the gem or ore which is removed from the ground and glistens above the surface, while the site connects the two. The facade of the tower and floor plates of the museum symbolize the stoping processes used to mine gold ore.
