The design, construction and inhabitation of desert shelters at

Taliesin West is a tradition that goes back many years, but the graduating class of 2019 is the first group for whom the desert shelter has been formally integrated into the final year thesis project. As guinea pigs for the new program, the project asked that we build a small shelter that serves as ‘proof of concept’ for a written thesis position.

My thesis work investigated adaptable architecture in the face of radically changing environmental and social conditions, where the shelter acts as a framework that can be manipulated and ‘tuned’ spatially in the immediate sense, while also negotiating between fixed and flexible organizing principles that position it for more significant functional adaptations over time.

The Loft is constructed with welded tube steel, redwood decking, perforated aluminum panels, and Sunbrella canvas. Cantilevered over the desert floor and protected under a corrugated metal roof, the sleeping loft adjacent to an open-air shade pavilion is reminiscent of the vernacular dwelling and ramada relationship used by the Hohokam Indians, the indigenous inhabitants of the region.

Designed to engage the intense and ever-present sunlight in the Sonoran Desert, the perforation patterns generate dynamic play of light and shadow that dances on the vertical and horizontal planes below. This dialogue through shadow serves as an abstract sun-dial that provides a unique connection to the landscape.

DAVID & GLADYS WRIGHT HOUSE SATELLITE CAMPUS | SCOTTSDALE, AZ | 2017

Camelback Campus is an extension and expansion of the School

of Architecture at Taliesin into the sprawling fabric of Scottsdale, Arizona. The program required a drafting studio, maker-space, exhibition space, and dormitory rooms. The biggest challenge for the project was to incorporate new buildings and a new use into a Frank Lloyd Wright designed site (1952) of historical and cultural significance. The project was designed to meet the requirements of the Living Building Challenge and incorporates

a celebration of rain events, a PV array that shades parking, and a compact footprint arranged in an east/west bar scheme.

Building orientation was determined by carefully considered daylighting strategies, the avoidance of direct solar gain, the provision of ample shade, and rainwater collection. Design strategies included operable windows, biophilic design features, and native landscape restoration. The studio was led by Phoenix Architect Eddie Jones and Landscape Architect Chris Winters.

SANTA CRUZ CABIN | SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA | 2013-2016

Using design principles learned while building Earthships, the Santa Cruz Cabin exhibits an adaptation and relaxation of the strict performance-based strategies to more appropriately suit the mild, Mediterranean climate of California’s Central Coast. The building is oriented with glazing to the south, and is earth-sheltered on the east, west and north sides. The passive solar and thermal mass relationship stabilizes the interior temperature year-round. The house was my own design, built by my wife and I in 2013.

Size: 560 Square Feet. Cost: $10,000. Materials: Rammed Earth automobile tires (Earthship technique), cement plaster, locally sourced redwood post and beam, conventionally framed low-slope shed roof, glass bottles (“bottle bricks�). Features: Earthen slab floor, low-cost reed ceiling, pallet deck, stained glass bottle walls, re-claimed barn-wood siding, re-claimed glazing, off-grid PV system & rain-water harvesting.

NOMADIC ROOTS | PHOTOBOOK & APPAREL | 2017

In February 2017, my wife and I ran a successful crowd funding campaign on Kickstarter for our Nomadic Roots Photobook. In four weeks the project exceeded it’s goal of $25,000. Backers from more than a dozen countries pre-ordered around 400 copies of the book, and the first run of 1,000 copies was printed and shipped in March, 2017. We continue to generate on-line sales through our website and are selling copies on Amazon, as well as at several book stores around the US and Canada. Nomadic Roots is a photobook that explores the history and design of Earthships, our experience traversing the country building them, and ultimately the construction of our own simple cabin in Central California. The project also featured our custom logo, hat, and t-shirt design (more at www.nomadicrootsdesign.com). The ‘Nomadic Roots Cabin’ has been featured by numerous on-line publications. Our story has reached international audiences, with features by Red Bull, Cabin Porn and Apartment Therapy. Google ‘nomadic roots’ for images and articles.

WISCONSIN GREENHOUSE | MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN | 2012

Before embarking on the mission of constructing my own home, I first designed and built this 300 square foot greenhouse structure in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Designed to extend the growing season on a suburban lot using passive design principles, the greenhouse conformed to local building code requirements, despite its use of unconventional materials, the majority of which were re-claimed or re-purposed. On a cold, sunny winter day in the first year after completion, the indoor temperature was recorded at above 70 degrees, with the outdoor air temperature in single digits.

BUILT WORK

BAMBOO LAKE HOUSE | SAN MARCOS, GUATEMALA | 2014

Rather than construct an earth-bermed home on the shores of Lago Atitlan as planned, I instead adjusted to the circumstances before me and designed a modest bamboo home for a friend/client during a three-week trip to Guatemala in 2014. Prior to receiving any formal design training whatsoever, I bought books on bamboo construction and produced a basic drawing set from which local Guatemalan builders were able to construct the home pictured above. This experience was a moment of discovery which led to my pursuit of a career in architecture.

THE MILLER HULL PARTNERSHIP: INTERNSHIP WORK SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA | 2018

The Miller Hull Partnership, ranked #1 in the country in 2018 for Sustainability

by Architect Magazine, has long stood out as a leader in socially and environmetally responsible design. It was for that well-earned reputation, along with their beginnings in remote, passive solar residential projects, that I found MH to be the ideal firm for gaining office experience during the summer before my final year of school. While interning at their San Diego office I participated in site visits, RFI & submittal responses, renderings (such as the ARCC building pictured above), and award submission graphics (such as the site plan and diagram pictured on the opposite page). All work was highly collaborative and the experience provided direction and inspiration for projects undertaken in my final year.

HAND-DRAWING STUDIO | EUGENE, OREGON | 2016

1,500 square foot tasting room for a vineyard to be located in Eugene, Oregon. Spatial organization based on a privacy gradient that corresponds with openness and daylighting. Users would enter through the berm on the north side of the building, passing through the cool earth before being greeted by floor to ceiling views to the surrounding forest.

MAKING

An assortment of form studies, models, and a luminaire made by hand.

PHOTOGRAPHY

F

or as long as I can remember, I’ve had an insatiable curiosity for travel and adventure. This curiosity has played a critical role in the life I have led, and where I have chosen to lead it.

I’ve explored the United States from coast to coast, visited 47 states, 20 National Parks, traveled internationally to more than 20 countries, and have spent countless nights sleeping under the stars. I’ve been fortunate enough - or strong-willed enough - to live in some of the most beautiful parts of America (Taos, Santa Cruz, San Diego, Eugene & Scottsdale). The reverence I feel for

nature, while difficult to put into words, may be better expressed through my collection of photographs. My camera has been with me on every journey and has allowed me to capture the moments and places that have made me feel most alive. Aside from making buildings and practicing architecture, being immersed in the outdoors capturing images of unique places and remote landscapes is my favorite thing in the world to do.
