The Ansley Terraces The focus of this module was on designing a structure with understanding of its envirnonmental context. It’s located in Ansley Park, a neighborhood of Atlanta, because of the strong presence of erosion in the area. After conversations with many residents, the large demand for a community space was discovered. Thus, the main principle of this design was creating a community space that doubled as a way to prevent future erosion. Therfore, the design is built into the terrain and has terraces extending off to each side to hold the land while also creating a community gathering space for the neighborhood.

Marietta Co-Housing Collective Co-Housing Development
The final module of this semester was based around the concept of designing an interactive co-housing community in the heart of Downtown Marietta, GA. Designed to fit nine families, this community celebrates diversity throughout the design which consists of a mix of old and new architectural styles. With many of the homes being derived from the local vernacular of Marietta, the two contemporary style homes and community kitchen space bring a needed contrast and edge to the communities design. With all of the residences hugging the outside edges of the lot, entering and leaving the community is made easy. Because of this site planning, a natural community space was formed in the center. Consisting of the multi-level community kitchen, terraces built into the hillside, and an open green space for outdoor activities, this community was designed with everyone in mind.

TAB Coffee. For the second project of Studio IV, the project was to design a restaurant in Brooklyn. TAB brings a creative and tasteful new approach to DUMBO and its coffee scene. Three arches framing the facade draw people’s attention inside to the shop and once inside, the stars of the show are the extensive coffee bar and personal work booths.

The final project of Studio IV was an interactive and experiential musem. The “Just F***ing Chairs” museum is a non-profit organization created to promote sustainable design practices while bringing attention to notable and innovative designs. Of course, the designs are focused on chairs... a lot of chairs. At JFC, we celebrate creativity, openness, tolerance, and generosity. We aim to be an inclusive space where diverse cultural, artistic, social, and political positions are welcome. We are committed to this mission and hope you will join us in exploring the art, ideas, and issues of time through the history and design of just... chairs. JFC showcases chairs from throughout time and is a must-see destination for design enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Featuring an extensive collection of iconic chairs, mainly from the mid-20th century, the museum offers a unique glimpse into the evolution of furniture design during this period. Exhibits explore the history and cultural context of each chair, as well as their tectonics and design features. Visitors can enjoy interactive displays and informative videos that delve deeper into the creative process and the impact of these chairs on popular culture. Whether you’re a design aficionado or simply looking for a fascinating and educational experience, the JFC museum is sure to impress.

TRUMP: A Presidential Library The Trump Presidential Library is a unique institution featuring four distinct buildings surrounding a central courtyard. Two of these structures are boldly integrated into the water’s edge, lending a picturesque waterfront setting. Along with the large community stairs on the north-west corner of the site, the design is thoughtfully integrated into the existing landscape. The first building offers visitors a warm welcome with a cafe for refreshments, a well-stocked store for merch, and classrooms for educational programs and events. In the second building, you can explore the rich archives of the Trump presidency and a dynamic temporary gallery showcasing rotating exhibitions. The third building houses the main gallery, providing an immersive experience into the life and legacy of the 45th President of the United States. Finally, the fourth building is an expansive auditorium, where guests can attend lectures, conferences, and special presentations, fostering a deeper understanding of the historical significance, whether it be good or bad, of the Trump era. Together, these four structures create a comprehensive and engaging platform for commemorating President Trump’s time in office.
