The diversity of my education allows me draw inspiration from a variety of disciplines, from the fine arts to historic preservation; I have been able to use the principles form each to further my design process. The fine arts taught the principles of a balanced composition, how to use color appropriately, and the drawing techniques that allow designs to be rendered using a variety of mediums.

Built 1900, Bands Corner Store is a two story building, the first floor commer-

cial while the second floor contains a two bedroom living space. During the 18th
1402 Barnard Street Savannah, GA
to 19th century, the corner store became an extremely popular design throughout downtown areas across the United States. Today, however, buildings such as Bland’s have fallen into disarray. With gas stations taking over the convenience store titles, these small shops that are part of the fabric of urban life, are at risk of becoming obsolete and taking their history with them. This particular corner store is located in the historic district of Savannah Georgia. It stands as a ruin of the Victorian age in a city that prides itself upon Historic Preservation. When presented with the opportunity to provide an economical assessment of a potential investment for a client who wished to do an adaptive rehabilitation of a historic building that was eligible for receiving historic tax credits, I selected Bland’s as my building of choice.

Economical Assessment Professional Interpretation
This building would make a successful adaptive rehabilitation investment.
Although the profits
are minimal the first year, the finances are in the green, meaning that the profitable income has paid for the rehabilitation and the building will continue to profit in the years to come.

Adaptive Rehabilitation
208 East 34th Street was constructed sometime between 1900 and 1917 as a
208 East 34th Street
residence for a Mr. and Mrs. John Morris. The site is located in the Cumming
Savannah, Georgia
Ward and occupies the East 45 feet of Lot 35 and the West 45 feet of Lot 36. It served as a residence to the Morris family until 1926. The site changed hands several times until 1972, when it became a law office for Fletcher Farrington and Partners. In 1999, the site was purchased by a Mr. Richard Wofford, who still occupies the bottom floor of the main house. The top floor and carriage house were rented out as apartments and remain so today.

Vietnamese Restaurant
Waterfront Park, located in Charleston South Carolina, was devel-
Charleston, SC
oped after hurricane Andrew devastated the area. Now, the Park draws visitors with its large pineapple fountain. For this project, the challenge was to design a Vietnamese restaurant, being sensitive the local context as well as the Vietnamese Culture itself. My design is located on the pier, and has a main floor with privatized dining room, as the culture observes, as well as an open patio level on the second floor which maximizes the views out toward the water and back onto the City of Charleston.

LIGHTNING CAR MUSEUM

The Lightning Car
The Lightning Car Company is an electric luxury sports car that is
Savannah, GA
making waves in the automotive world. For this project, the goal is showcase the car’s technology while having the opportunity to branch out programmatically to attract a wider range of cliental. For my design, the space will serve as a showroom for the Lightning Car, as well as a interior and exterior restaurant for locals in the area as well as a museum space to tell the history of vehicles from the United States and around the world. The form responds to both the surrounding context and function of the building. Holding strong to the Savannah grid, the form begins to become dynamic, and breaking away to interact with the curvilinear form of the car.

The goal of this urban environment is to create a connection between the natural and built environment by way of an elevated pedestrian path known as the “L-Way.� This system would allow for residents and visitors alike to venture through the protected wetlands that

exist on the site and weave through the city, allowing the pedestrian to travel above the car, which also allows for an elevated commercial program. The overall development contains: 729 Residential persons, mixed use: 12,360 residential and 1.06 Million Sq. Ft. Mixed-Commercial, and 3.7 Million Sq. Ft. Commercial, Which will include a University with Apartment Style housing located throughout the Urban plan.
