## Selected projects

- [Overton 19](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/overton-19-pj-vj~535628)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 19
  - Description: Overton 19 is a carefully curated stand of eight functionally adaptable rental units. The development forms the edge of a formerly industrial parcel. The project formally employs one simple gesture — lifting the two corner units allows the project to respond to its urban condition at the intersection of a major commercial arterial, as well as to articulate the simple volumes for more specific uses. The façade takes the form of a veil of trees to mediate a sense of both openness and privacy. Cons…
- [Bowstring Truss House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bowstring-truss-house-pj-vj~535617)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 13
  - Description: This private residence and studio was adapted from a 5,000 sf former warehouse and auto repair shop. The space is clear spanned by a series of four bow-string trusses and exposed roof framing. The intent of the design was to maintain the vast trussed ceiling and the open floor plane, while inserting a standard residential program that the clients could live among. The result manages both scales simultaneously: a sense of the expanse of the entire structure as well as scaled discrete living areas…
- [33rd & Division St. Apartments](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/33rd-and-division-st-apartments-pj-vj~535627)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 13
  - Description: Along SE Division Street new development has created an entirely new scale of street wall. This four-story mixed use building contributes to the new street wall, participating both as a fabric building and as building fabric. The building strikes a balance between the anonymity of a rationalized punched window façade and an idiosyncratic connection of spaces using a more plastic language and tactile materiality. This combination results in a specific corner site response as well as a modulation…
- [tandemDUO](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tandemduo-pj-vj~535618)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: The Tandem Houses organize a densely packed program on a small site by creating a spatial narrative via a slipped section that originates at the front door and culminates in a rooftop garden. The twin houses are identical in spatial layout. The siting of the homes arrives in the simple gesture of one turning to face its own street. The façades are composed of two interlocked boxes expressing the exchange of volume that is occurring within. The natural light streaming into the center of the house…
- [Prototype Houses](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prototype-houses-pj-vj~535615)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 14
  - Description: Using building blocks of the typical American tract house, we asked not only what types of spaces they could contain, but what types of spaces they could create – a change not so much in architectural configuration, but in lifestyle. We wanted to return to utilitarian simplicity and a model of living large in a smaller home. Photos by Joshua Jay Elliott.
