Completion: SPRING 2020 - AIA Triangle, AIANC, AIA SAR Design Honor Awards Project Architect - Design Development through Completion
The program proposed by the owner was a 4th floor addition of a new S.T.E.A.M literacy center and renovation of the existing stack levels of the building. The design team’s solution instead was to open the floors onto one another and ‘weave’ the STEAM education spaces through the fabric of the existing 3 story library to a new 4th floor and from the interior of building into the space of site. The S.T.E.A.M program was gathered into a contiguous, open zone / field condition that weaves between both inside and out and vertically in section to define the primary circulation, while also shaping a fully flexible zone for all collaborative, technology rich ‘people spaces’ of the contemporary library. This project was completed while in the office of VINES Architecture.

The kitchen and dining room look over a lap pool and lawn while the living room is centered around the fireplace. The west facing, two-story screen porch and a family room are shaded by a vertical wood fin wall. The house also includes a private theatre, a study, and a permeable drive and entry court leading to the house. This project was completed while in the office of Frank Harmon Architect

ST. HELENA ISLAND, SC
Completion: Spring 2014
Project Designer, Project Manager - pre-design through completion
Sabrina and Jon were retiring to the South from Boston. They began vacationing to the site in the summers and eventually moved to the island and began living on site in an RV. They wanted a home that kept them connected to the marsh and forests in the same way as their trailer so half of their new house is screened porch and the other half can be naturally ventilated nine months of the year. A sliding barn door shields the porch during winter while a mini-split system heats and cools during peak seasons. This project was completed while in the office of Frank Harmon Architect.

OPENING CEREMONY
Symbiotic libraries become places that anchor communities and bring people together.
THE CLEVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY - MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BRANCH will proudly assert itself as an integral part of a large mixeduse project at the confluence of four distinct neighborhoods and districts. In a manner that is sophisticated in its architectural expression, the library will be a “place for all” as it honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. While serving diverse populations of culture, race, economic levels and sociologies, this connectional destination will present itself as a humble yet powerfully impactful cultural organism, serving its patrons and communities in the same manner Dr. King asked of this nation, its people and the world.
Within the development, the new library will cleverly distance itself enough to preserve an autonomous identify, while not suggesting any of the exclusivity, separation or inequalities Dr. King was so adamantly against. We think about how this architecture can “lift up”, “gather” and “unify”. How an abundance of transparency can allow for “air and light” to begin to expose the positive and the negative, and then heal the injustices we are all obligated to address. While there have been and will continue to be challenging and turbulent times, communities must lock arms together to push through the darkness to deliver the us all to the light. We propose a library that “welcomes, embraces and unifies” the communities, the neighborhoods, the cultures, the races within the site, which will over time, become the iconic experience.

GOOD SOUTH STUDIO
RALEIGH, NC
Completion: Fall 2015
Two graphic designers were in need of a studio space so they purchased an old railroad shed at auction and had it moved to their site. The alterations reference a historical past and keep to the client’s established brand while, at the same time, look to orientation and plan as generators for window locations, entry, and details.
YELLOW DOG BREAD CO.
RALEIGH, NC
Completion: Fall 2013
A local bakery wanted custom furnishings for their soon to open storefront. Continuing the client’s clean aesthetic, the bread wall is composed of yellow pine vertical slats and dowels. The wall acts as a display while allowing the bread to cool without condensation forming on the bottom of the loaves. White ash bar stools with reclaimed veneer tops are accented against the slate tile floor and spalted sweet gum tabletops add warmth to the cool interior.
BIRCH PLYWOOD CHAIR
Constructed of 1/2 inch Baltic birch plywood, the chair takes advantage of composite action in the legs and backrest to achieve a hollow section. Alignment dowels and the increased surface area inherent in mitered joints allow minimal connections and no metal hardware.
