I spent my first year out of school working on this project back when it was a six foot long paper and wood model sitting in the middle of the office, and we were diligently translating it into a rhino model. I’m happy to see it turned out beautifully, Randall and the team did a great job. See more about the project at arcspace, here.

This was one of the first projects I worked on after getting out of the University of Texas, and I was lucky it was an exciting one. I followed this project from its inception as a winning competition entry up through the completion of the construction documents phase.
