THE FIELD THEATER
PROGRAM: Black Box Theater
LOCATION: Boise, ID
YEAR: Fall 2022
TEAM: Weston Ellerbrake
PROPOSAL:
The Field Theater is designed with the idea of the building being secondary to the site and that site is the most important object within this situation. To explore that guests must walk through a field of light columns and find their way upwards to a building above them.

PROPOSAL:
Outside Hatch Design Architecture’s headquarters once stood a blank CMU wall. In an effort to revitalize the community, HDA wanted a mural that spoke to the history and culture of the greater Boise/Garden City area. Shown above and to the aside is that idea realized. Left to right highlights the city’s evolution from an agriculture area to an outdoor recreation powerhouse.
SLIP SPACE
PROGRAM: Museum Addition
LOCATION: Lincoln, NE
YEAR: Spring 2021
TEAM: Weston Ellerbrake, JoLynn Broweleit
PROPOSAL:
Slip Space uses building form and construction to shift user direction and perspective. Connected under a singular roof, three buildings host different programs that promote outside interaction with the museum.
TINY BARN
PROGRAM: Tiny House
LOCATION: Des Moine, IA YEAR: Spring 2021
PROPOSAL:
Tiny Barn was built for a couple who had recently and suddenly taken over the family farm. Instead of wasting time and money on a new house, the couple decided to build inside the existing barn. Using metal panels that would patina with age they created a home out of 800sf of barn. The design language follows a pattern of exaggeration and sharp cuts to create a contrast between the barn and the living space.
