The research wing of Eyrie will feature a second-skin type of exterior facade and bracing system. This system will function as a structure for birds to construct their nest inside of, as well as filter out the harsh southern daylight on the intimate spaces of the research and teaching wing, ultimately creating a more ideal interior environment.

The Light Home is a post-traumatic stress disorder recovery center located in Milledgeville, Georgia. The building sits on a site that once belonged to Central State Hospital, which was previously the states largest mental asylum. Nearby there is a women’s correctional facility and the veteran’s bureau. This building is designed to serve people who are experiencing PTSD, but more specifically designed to serves those who were once in either of the nearby facilities. The geometric gable roof shapes of the structure connect to the ideal physical image of a “home.” As on embarkes on their recovery journey, the goal is always to find the light home.
