A pro-bono project where the students became both our clients and our design collaborators.
Working with Side Street Projects, a local non-profit, the students were asked to redesign the library.
The existing space was filled with rows of long oak desks and uncomfortable, straight back chairs.
In response to this rigid layout, the idea of a circular reading lounge emerged. This was combined with a circular bookcase to create a space within a space.
This large vase is by Italian maker Bitossi, part of the Genovese line. Unmarked, it features the original Raymor import sticker, reading 3794 BIT. It was found in Oronoco, Minnesota.
We have a large stock of surplus military grade aircraft aluminum, which is pretty interesting stuff to work with. Its just the opposite of soft malleable aluminum and it has a really high melting temperature. It can be worked with jeweler's tools nonetheless, and here we have inset domed and chased disks of aluminum into ebony disks. These are small, measuring about .5 in in dia.

G. H. Residence was conceived less as a house, but more as an extension and outgrowth of the limestone and aquifers of the Central Texas geography. The roof structure is configured so as to create a natural basin for the collection of rainwater, not unlike the vernal pools found in the outcroppings of Enchanted Rock. These basins harness additional natural flows through the use of photovoltaic and solar hot-water panels. The water, electricity and heat which are harvested on the roof tie into an extensive climate conditioning system which utilizes water source heat pumps and radiant loops to supply both the heating and cooling for the residence. The climate system is connected to geothermal ground loops as well as pools and water features thereby establishing a system of heat exchange which minimizes reliance on electricity or gas.
The primary formal gesture of the project inserts two long native limestone walls into the site. The walls serve as the boundary demarking domesticated space with the vegetation outbound of these walls being native while the interior spaces are more lush and tropical. The program of the residence is configured along the stone walls each of which serves as the spine for the public and private wings, respectively. The offset between the main wings establish an exterior courtyard which will serve as an extended living space for much of the year. The siting of the boundary walls and building elements was informed by the presence and preservation of three mature native oaks. The house enjoys close proximity to both Emma Long Metro Park and
West Bull Creek Preserve.

The very best reading space or personal library is definetely the one you can design it yourself. The Pombal shelving system and its wealth of accessories gives a new meaning to the word bookcase.

Frank Lloyd Wright simplified this oak and leather upholstered side chair that he designed in 1904 into basic rectilinear parts, but with an angled back that seems to float freely within the right angles of the chair's frame. It was perfectly suited to the reptitive and linear motions of machine construction. "Furniture," Wright explained, "takes the clean-cut, straight-line forms that the machine can render far better than would be possible by hand."
What is Modern?, a temporary exhibition on view at the Denver Art Museum through December 31, 2011, featured imaginative furniture, industrial, and graphic designs that span more than 200 years, from the early 1800s to the present day. The objects—representing a trajectory of innovative thinking and a variety of methods, materials, and concepts—explore the ways in which design has expressed the modern experience.
The Denver Art Museum, a private, non-profit museum, is known for its collection of American Indian art. Its impressive collection of more than 68,000 works includes pieces from around the world including modern and contemporary art, European and American painting and sculpture, and pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial art. The museum was originally founded in 1893 as the Denver Artists Club. In 1918, it moved into galleries in the Denver City and County Building, and became the Denver Art Museum.
In 1971, the museum opened what is now known as the North Building, designed by Italian architect Gio Ponti and Denver-based James Sudler Associates. The seven-story structure, 210,000-square-foot building allowed the museum to display its collections under one roof for the first time. The Frederic C. Hamilton Building, designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind and Denver firm Davis Partnership Architects, opened on October 7, 2006 to accommodate the Denver Art Museum's growing collections and programs.
This small vase is a common shape from Haeger Potteries. In the Peasant Red glaze (ca. 1960's), it is ink-stamped Haeger USA, and was found in Woodbury, Minnesota.
