LSUThird year landscape design project.Drawing medium: Color markers and color pencils.

LSUThird Year Design StudioProject:Women’s League of VotersOffice BuildingPerspective of office building.In addition to fulfilling all the programmatic requirements set forth in the project assignment, the final design solution was based on the concept of “ Honesty in structure” as evident in the exterior horizontal structural beams surrounding the glazed atrium.Drawing medium: Pen and ink on illustration board.

LSUThird Year Design StudioInterior perspective of 5 story glazed atrium at the main lobby.The concept of “Honesty in structure” is also evident in the interior atrium lobby space. Some of the concrete structural members were left exposed to express the buildings structure.The 5 story glazed lobby provides an open airy feeling in the main lobby and in each of the elevator lobbies overlooking this space. The large glazed surface allows daylight to enter this space.Drawing media: Pen and ink on illustration board.

LSUThird Year Design StudioBuilding section through the 5 story atrium lobby and office spaces. The building structure is comprised of a poured in place concrete slab, columns and beams. The exterior is sheathed with polished granite panels and tinted glazing.Drawing medium: Pen and ink on illustration board.

LSUFourth Year Design StudioMulti-family Housing in Baton Rouge/ Design and Energy Competition sponsored by The United States Department of Energy and The Brick Institute of America.This perspective drawing shows the character of the housing complex. One of the design concepts was to create a pedestrian friendly village -like community which was contextually compatible with the surrounding historic downtown neighborhood. The roof design incorporated oversized overhangs in the rear and louvers near the ridge for natural ventilation cooling.Drawing medium: Pen and ink on illustration board.

LSUFourth Year Design StudioSite plan and South Site Elevation.The housing community is comprised of 3 unit types and a combination of these unit types.The amount of parking spaces was based on project requirements of 1.25 parking spaces per unit.The program encouraged parking spaces immediately adjacent to the dwelling served.

LSUFourth Year Design StudioArial view axonometric illustrating the village –like community linked with interconnecting pedestrian walkways. The design of the units on the south side of the property responded to the sites topography which steeply sloped from north to south along the southern border of the property. These units were to be built into the slope. The units on the north side of the site were designed at a lower height in an effort to achieve contextual compatibility with the adjacent neighborhood. Drawing medium: Pen and ink on illustration board.

LSU Fourth Year Design StudioThe scale of the units on the north side ( left side of site section) is consistent with the scale the existing adjacent houses across the street. The scale of the units gradually increases towards the south side of the site ( right side of site section). The south side units were designed to be built into the steeper slope which allowed the two story units to be stacked one above the other while allowing them to be perceived to be lower in height when viewed from the north.Drawing medium: Pen and ink on illustration board.

LSUFourth Year Design StudioTypical unit types:Unit type A (20% of total number of units on site): 2 bedrooms / 1 bathUnit type B (60% of total number of units on site):2 bedrooms/ 1 1./2 bathsUnit type C ( 20% of total number of units on site):3 bedroom/ 2 ½ bathsAll units have private entry directly from outside at gradeDrawing medium: Pen and ink on illustration board.

LSUFourth Year Design StudioBuilding section through unit type B over unit type B which were located on the sloping south side of site.The lower unit was to be built into the site slope, thus creating an opportunity for a sunken patio on the north side.The roof was designed with a large louvered overhang on the rear and another louver near the ridge. This design strategy would allow summer breezes to flow in through the rear overhangs then flow up and exit through the louvers near the ridge, thus providing a passive cooling system for the roof attic space.Drawing medium: Pen and ink on illustration board.

LSU Fourth Year Design StudioThe eye level two point interior perspective of unit type B viewed from a vantage point in the dining room looking towards the living room and outdoor patio. The door leading into the entry foyer and the kitchen pass-thru are also illustrated in this perspective drawing.Drawing medium: Pen and ink on illustration board.

LSUFifth Year Design StudioProject:Beach House for novelist near Ocean Springs, Mississippi The main design concept and idea was to create a hurricane proof beach house. This would probably involve creating a massive stone fortress type building which would be impractical for a small beach house. This idea was therefore redefined to create a wood frame house that would be rebuilt if necessary after a major hurricane. The framed structure with all the occupied spaces would be placed above the storm surge line on a steel framed base capable of resisting hurricane forces and the storm surge.

LSUFifth Year Design StudioProject:Beach House for novelist near Ocean Springs, Mississippi Site: a 150’ x 200’ beach site near Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Site slopes 4 feet from the asphalt entrance on the north to the water on the south.Vegetation: Sandy loam soil covered with Bermuda grass and weeds. Five large oak trees (2’-3’ dia.) are located near the center of the site.Drawing medium: Pen and ink on illustration board.

LSUFifth Year Design StudioProject:Beach House for novelist near Ocean Springs, Mississippi The design also embodied metaphors and symbolism. One of the ideas was to create a “ Floating Pyramid”. The design also symbolizes detachment, separation and isolation from the material, physical world. The cylindrical masonry core (enclosing a circular stairway and vertical chases for mechanical systems) also symbolized a link between the physical and the metaphysical. This beach house was to be a place where the novelist could be inspired and write his best work.Drawing medium: Pen and ink on illustration board.

LSUFifth Year Design StudioProject:Beach House for novelist near Ocean Springs, Mississippi Program called for a beach house with multiple writing stations, a central living room with a view of the shoreline, a small bathroom, and a “sanctum sanctorum” space accessible by a secret door and passageway known only to the client/ novelist. This space is located below the glazed apex of the pyramid. The cylindrical core also contains an observation deck on its uppermost level. The exterior of the house is sheathed with wood shingles.The design was to satisfy the novelist’s wishes to express his iconoclastic views. Drawing medium: Ink and pen on illustration board.
