4th Year Steel Competition
​
This project was about creating a culinary arts college on a small site with the primary construction method being steel connections. I chose the site on Roswell Rd. just north of the Buckhead Triangle. Aside from creating a working campus my main focus was to make the street front building continue the urban context.
Celebrating Service - Honoring Sacrifice
​
In the final project of my college career I wanted to do somehting big. I grew up in a military town for most of my life. Many of my friends are in the military and several have been on deployments to Afghanistan. I wanted to give them something to come home to that wasn't a dissused warehouse or repurposed basketball gym turned into a "ceremonial" space. With this thesis I aimed to create a celebrating space and unforgetable structure that gives the soldiers a truely welcoming space to come home to and remember those who did not make it home.
Assorted Building Projects
​
Each of these projects was done in my free time. Most use the older versions of Revit, notably 9.1.

2nd Year Restaurant Project
​
This restaurant project done in my 2nd year at SPSU was located in the Castleberry Hill District near Downtown Atlanta. The site was long and narrow and had a severe elevation change from front to back. In this space we had to work in pairs and design two restaurants with a food bank attached to both. This presented a unique challenge to put all the essential restaurant needs in such a small space.
