01. Austin Shutter Lofts Flexible Housing Studio Fall 2011 One of the greatest challenges in sustainable architecture is designing buildings so they will remain in use in a hundred years. Both the interior and exterior of The Shutter Lofts strive for this level of longevity. The interior is designed to allow individual units to be subdivided, giving owners flexibility. An operable terracotta shading system covers the skin of the building, creating user controlled climate regulation using a recyclable and renewable material.

The final design proposes to redefine the scale of the neighborhood by creating an urban wall at the street scape and a taller mass that is aimed towards the growth of the neighborhood. The double-skin system aims to satisfy the thermal comfort needs of the occupant while creating a sustainable skin for the building.

02. South Texas Botanical Garden Installation Poetics of Building Studio Fall 2012 At the outer edge of the South Texas Botanical Gardens,an architectural intervention attempts to connect the environmental conditions of this harsh landscape: creek, wetland, marsh, and meadow. The project continues the language of a series of wayfinders that exist on the site, leading the patron from the main facilities to this untamed edge.
11
The intervention is a simple move in the landscape; it is comprised of the wayfinding wall, a walking platform, stadium seats and steps, a second wayfinding wall in the marsh, and a viewing bench. The steps are marked by the water levels in the wetland as rain and flooding pass water through the area.

03. Chinatrust Tower Taichung, Taiwan
Designed for a private client, the Chinatrust tower is a 32-story building for commercial use. The primary function of the tower is for the main offices of the company. It also includes open office floors, a multi-level restaurant, and a bank. I joined the team after the initial concept phase and was responsible for producing a series of facade and massing studies. The images on the right show a small cross section of the many tower options we generated. Each iteration of the tower built upon the ideas and strengths of the designs that preceded it.

Fritted and clear glass were paired with different sized vertical sunshades to allow the face/tree graphic to be manipulated in a variety of scales across each elevation. My involvement in this portion of the project included the research of wall systems, the building of a digital model, and the drawing of wall and mullion details.

05. Java Lamp Environmental Controls II Spring 2012 Jon Handzo & Nate Schneider The Java Lamp was intended as a multi-purpose lamp suitable for applications ranging from accent lighting in a retail situation to a bedside reading lamp. The goal of the design was to provide a full range of light levels in a new and interesting fashion.

06. Waller Creek Aquatics Center Intervention Studio Spring 2012 While Austin is surrounded by places to recreate outdoors, the park spaces in downtown Austin remain under utilized. Waller Creek provides a clear opportunity to remedy this lack of outdoor space. However, while the creek presents an area of natural refuge, it is currently an unsafe and unsanitary place to be. Refuse and murky waters define the natural ecology of the site and the inherent danger that the creek represents dissuades Austinites from occupying it.

The initial study looked at intervening into an existing landscape through the removal and replacement of land. The model above and the drawing on the right represent a series of studies about carving and slicing into the earth and how those spaces could be occupied.

The final design aimed to weave creek scape and street scape by building the recreation center into the side of the hill. The resulting building encourages pedestrians to recreate out towards the creek on the green roof structures. Underneath the main program of the building is a Olympic swimming pool but the building also supports a small workout space and public cafe. 4
