In Arch 472 students were taught to design using Building Information Systems (BIM). To learn the application students were tasked with re-constructing a house of their choice.
The Jackson Family Retreat is a modernist family home. Located in Big Sur California, the 2,500 sq ft rests gently on the landscape. Metal rods embedded in the walls lift the building 3 feet off the ground to minimize it’s impact on the site.

Other unique structural features include the butterfly roof, thin structural columns, and glass detailing. The materials were chosen to match the surrounding landscape. Standing seam copper and glass make up exterior facades.

ARITZIA RENOVATED FACADE
Students were tasked with renovating the Facade of Aritzia, located on M Street Georgetown. This facade was crafted with great detail, drawing inspiration from neoclassical Architecture to match the aesthetic of the store. The facade was also designed with careful consideration of the surrounding building. Using historical precedence of the roof to sky and base to street, the building was able to imitate the surrounding architecture uniquely. Still, the design adds modern character to the historical street.
