Artist-in-Residence
Location: Benton Harbor
The main objective of this project was to develop a space outside the city for artist to come and concentrate on their artistic projects. The Artist-in-Residence provides a personal living space for artist to make it their own. The studio spaces allow for the artist to be set apart from any distractions, but the project provides shareable moments. The goal was to create an enviroment that creates a community within the different artist, but still offers private spaces to allow for artistic production. At the end, the gallery situated within the project helps display the work the artist produce during their time at the Artist-in Residence.
Kenwood Youth Center
Location: Chicago, IL

Its open plan design and public green spaces inside and out, celebrate the sense of community and exibility.
