15 EAST CONGRESS is a residential complex at the corner of Drayton St in Downtown Savannah GA. It contains 21 apartments splits into seven stories and local café shop at ground level. The project starts from the idea of creating a very uniform building, singular and framed in the urban surroundings. Each area within the space well integrates with nature. Besides, its eastern and southern French window introduces the natural light into the interior, allowing the coexistence and dialogue between the spaces and daylight as well as ventilation. With Large balconies create a natural extension of the private residential units.

WILMINGTON ISLAND library is designed to invigorate a quiet place, welcoming the public and drawing students to a dynamic, shared community space. WILMINGTON ISLAND library is a distinctively ‘local’ library, embracing emerging technologies & promoting ﬂexible learning & library spaces across all ages. The building’s exterior aspects clearly afﬁrm itself as a public building in several ways: The wooden facades, exempt of any iconographic element, which can express a use, present a rhythm which gives a unity to the volume.
