III. Sculpture’s Tap This mixture of Biergarten, art studios, and exhibition space seeks to uplift and represent local artists in Bellaire, Texas, while being a place of refuge for the rest of the community. The area has a noticeable lack of activity and deeply needed a focal point that can drive the community together. With a focus on sculpture gardens on the bottom floor and roof, it is an oasis from the average Houstonians daily life.

IV. Connected Exteriors Located near The Menil Drawing Institute, the project is a combination of a gym, student housing, a cafe, and book store. The project utilizes multiple greenhouses and a large spanning balcony system to connect these differing programs, provide exterior social spaces, and acts as a way to preserve all existing trees on the site in a non destructive manner.
