432 Indiana is a modern and LEED Platinum home located in the oldest neighborhood of Lawrence. Constructed on what was an overgrown lot located in a flood zone - Studio 804 saw promise. Both the 2,000 SF primary dwelling and the 500 SF accessory dwelling were constructed using donated, re-purposed, and environmentally conscious materials and fixtures.
Orchestrated under the instruction of Dan Rockhill, there were 22 fellow scholars dedicated to the design, detailing, construction, and fabrication of the home. Alloted 2 month for design and 7 months for construction - meeting our goal of having the home on the market for sale in May of 2023. Under a condensed timeline meant round the clock dedication and immediate problem solving. Supplemented only by our own pre-fabrication and transportation of building supplies, the push to maximize timelines for both scholars and stakeholders meant frequent communication.
Intrinsically, the opportunity to solve problems to solutions that arise in the industry outside of the architecture studio were very welcomed. Involvement in every phase offered tangible experience in construction, building systems, and setting precedent through design.

The connection between farm to table is facilitated by an in house conveyor belt while the hydroponic farm is confined to the footprint a standard shipping container.

2206 Locust Street is located in the heart of a newly revitalized sector of St. Louis. Formerly home to the Hornet Tile Co., this adaptive reuse project transformed the dilapidated factory building into 13 loft apartments and ground-floor retail within earshot of CITYPARK. The design maximizes space while using light to create a responsive and context-sensitive environment for residents enhancing both the building’s functionality and connection into the surrounding urban landscape.
The restoration preserves the building’s original concrete and masonry structure while thoughtfully adapting historic features. By thoughtfully adapting historic features such as the buildings industrial design schemes, this seamlessly blends old and new, enhancing character and functionality. New mezzanines at the ground-floor lofts maximize vertical space, increasing the usable area within each unit. This innovative approach creates a sense of openness and adaptability that meets modern living standards.

Located at the bottom of a mountain, this home strives to solve logistical problems through elevated design. The client wanted a place of repose when partaking in extreme sports, as a way to keep their family close without being limited.
The house pours out of the mountain it is burrowed within, blending the interior with exterior. The entry sequence is choreographed to foster a sense of unity between each level. Concrete walls and a floating stair volume carve through the hillside, drawing family and friends up. A series of expansive living spaces are organized beneath a long, floating roof plan ready to receive the loads demanded by an avalanche. Generous overhangs provide ample shade and create an experience of being in a “covered outdoor space” when in the living and dining area, immersed in mountain breezes.
Texture materials include board formed concrete at the ground level and throughout the light hall. Corten steel encases the second level in a welcomed monotony broken only by large expanses of glass oriented to landscape views. In keeping with organic materials, the third floor is clad in black chard shou sugi ban as it steps away from those who approach it and into the mountain behind.

Cottle Village as a campus plan meant curating a cohesive language tied to experience. Offering a sit down restaurant, outdoor stage, distillery and tasting room - the project strives to offer cohesive enjoyment throughout an evening.
Once established as a place of repose, the original 100 year old farmstead housed a small domicile which was restored and integrated into the experience. Subsequent development of a larger homestead became the premise for Cottle Village as the restaurant’s structure was designed and built to be an addition on this second home. Utilizing a similar language as the existing structure, this coincided with the farmhouse vernacular common place in rural Missouri.
Set with a language and pre-existing foundations, our notions of individuality within were yet to be faced. Highlighted below, the restaurant serves as the social hub - hosting many dinning options. Working on this project through the design phases to finish, it served as a foundation for unified design through large scale development.

Sitting along the southern banks of the Missouri River, Berkley Riverfront Park is a 17-acre park adjacent to Kansas City’s famous Kit Bond Bridge. Occupying a former landfill for construction debris, The Landing serves as one aspect in a much larger re-development incentive proposed by Kansas City. Hosting music festivals, Independence Day Celebrations, and private events, Berkley Riverfront Park was realized as an underdeveloped, yet significant natural asset.
In a re-branding effort to connect the northern portion of Kansas City with its bustling central corridor, the aptly named RiverPort North welcomes The Landing as its backbone. The building was designed to be an undulating stack of vertebrae atop the public realm, such that it’s height does not deter from human interaction along the riverfront. Layering the commercial levels and embracing the gouge is a public sky walk. The elevated public trail is a 20 mile fairway continuously incorporated throughout the redevelopment as a pedestrian centric connection between the city center and RiverPort.
Moving up through The Landing, each stack seeks to integrate public terracing such that it may elevate all embodiment of the park in which it halts. Within, the residential component offers a wide array of housing typologies in an lofty footprint. Brought about by the decision to have the structure be outward facing, it creates an intermediate space that serves as a filter between dwelling and metropolis.
